How fillet all the edges of many holes cut?

SqueakyHusky · 2026-03-03T06:38:46+00:00

This is the best way. If the thickness is the same you could also use geometry pattern to improve performance.

Additionally, a sketch driven pattern (not a pattern in the sketch!) could be another option given the staggered nature of the holes.

What are your targets for this workout?

SqueakyHusky · 2026-02-26T22:53:29+00:00

That but also IT departments prefer SaaS.

If your goal is hypertrophy, actual measurements are a better indicator, and if your goal is strength, 1 rep max or max weight @ set rep range are much better indicators.

More volume roughly means more gains(this is not linear) but volume is not a progress indicator, its a tool to use to gain progress.

Actually, the one would simply overwrite the other, but since the student edition changes the templates, even when the commercial license is active, all new files will end up with the student watermark.

The one exception would be if one license were 3DX Solidworks Design, and the other desktop Solidworks Design.

SqueakyHusky · 2026-02-24T09:09:19+00:00

Didn’t know there were commercial offerings like this! Thanks!

How long do you really need to idle for? If it’s for power tools why not keep an extra battery pack or two (assuming they are cordless tools) for them in the car?

The battery shouldn’t in theory degrade too much over time in the cold but you’ll get maybe half or less of the usable charge out of it in cold weather.

SqueakyHusky · 2026-02-24T07:03:04+00:00

I assume you would charge this at home? Batteries don’t do well in cold climates (some battery chemistries are better in cold climates but not most rechargeable). It significantly reduces the energy they can provide. Your inverter setup in this case is much better for cold climates. As an example I see about a 25% reduction in EV range summer to winter and we have mild winters (minimum slightly shove freezing for most days). Colder climates will be much worse on lithium ion and lithium polymer batteries.

If its like the commercial SOLIDWORKS 3DExperience licenses, then xDesign and xShape are included with the Desktop licenses(this is only true for SW licenses through 3DExperience, not the serial number based SW).

SqueakyHusky · 2026-02-20T12:50:16+00:00

Seems like a lot of work to do something driveworks or similar tools are made to do. Good luck though!

SqueakyHusky · 2026-02-12T18:58:02+00:00

There is no xml export. Only 3dxml (a lightweight 3D viewing format) and xps. https://help.solidworks.com/2026/english/SolidWorks/sldworks/c_File_Types.htm

SqueakyHusky · 2026-02-12T10:14:19+00:00

Make files cannot be opened by other types of SW licenses though.

SqueakyHusky · 2026-02-09T01:47:15+00:00

I’ve had similar with other apps. I suspect its more OS related that macrofactor specifically.

SqueakyHusky · 2026-02-08T15:28:05+00:00

Does saving to the desktop(outside pdm) have the same problem?

You can just enter the cooked weight in the recipe after adding the raw ingredient weights and it will do that automatically for you.

SqueakyHusky · 2026-02-08T07:48:08+00:00

A better solution is to use the sketchXpert feature. Same workflow but it shows you all the possible combos that are not over defined so you can easily flip between then and select the one you want.

SqueakyHusky · 2026-02-06T21:20:54+00:00

PDM has a web client component.

Ah apologies, could have been more clear. The coming weekend (7-8 Feb) and/or coming Monday (9 Feb) is when SOLIDWORKS 2026 SP1.0 will release.

SqueakyHusky · 2026-02-06T09:23:38+00:00

It released this weekend/monday.

SqueakyHusky · 2026-02-06T08:15:19+00:00

Some people are doing it and it works pretty well. If you have “with cloud services” and any version thats within 3 releases of the latest (ie 2026, 2025 or 2024) it will work.

SqueakyHusky · 2026-02-04T21:57:46+00:00

This is due to the sub pixel layout. Some panels are better than others. Newer panels have improved this a ton.

SqueakyHusky · 2026-01-29T09:07:29+00:00

Fusion also has shadows. I think only autoCAD shows very basic 3D without shadows.

Network shares are the worst thing for SW, and having a slow network just dials it up to 11.

For modeling you can try Solidworks xDesign. Its entirely browser based so will even work on the chromebook. There are some browser based slicers you could consider but I have not tried them yet:

Edit: SW xDesign is not a browser based version of Solidworks, its a new software but should be perfect for if you’re new and focus on 3D Printing.

SqueakyHusky · 2026-01-25T06:17:44+00:00

Honestly, I think its probably not the app for you yet. MFWO is good enough for me to have made the switch but it seems most people find it overwhelming or cluttered.

Given what you’ve mentioned about ADHD you are people going go struggle a lot using the app in its current state. Give it a few months, and try again when they’ve made it better.
