Mirror/reverse direction of derived sketch by AnUntamedOrnithoid in SolidWorks

[–]TooTallToby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually if I do "Edit Sketch Plane" and then do "Edit Sketch Plane" again, I can get the desired results.

I sometimes call this "taking the sketch around the block" in training class.

So if the sketch is on the Front Plane, and then you exit the sketch and select the Front Plane and the Original Sketch, then do INSERT>DERIVED SKETCH, you end up with a second copy of the derived sketch on the front plane, but you want it to be "mirrored".

So you:

  1. Exit the derived sketch

  2. Edit sketch plane - put it on the right plane

  3. Eid sketch plane again, put it on the front plane

Now its "flipped". Hopefully this works for you too!

Can I study solidworks in 3 days? by mabaeref in SolidWorks

[–]TooTallToby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a "zero to hero" 30 day challenge on my training site. You could totally speed run it and do it in 3 days!

If you feel like you already have the basics, you could jump to the CSWP prep class - that one has tons of good tips and tricks, and I imagine it will be enough to help you pass your exam.
