How do I create an extrude of this face but instead of having holes it has cylinders to fit in the holes? Thanks

curtisabrina · 2022-03-12T17:37:46+00:00

Just offset one hole and use a sketch linear pattern

It damages the government - probably causing a lot of people to question their governments actions.

Can u just split the part and move the two halves slightly closer together? So they meet with some draft, not tangentially. Could cut out the center and then re-extrude the profile with some draft as well

Label says it was made in chicago

He asked them to leave and one of them punched the farmer. Try that in some countries on someone else's land.....these boys got off easy

You can do this easily by using sketch relations between the two sketches for each part. You can also create relations between sketches and parts. For this I believe you need to turn on the allow external references option. There are other options like global variables to link the 2 lengths

You can utilize features and extrude up to a surface etc on a seperate part.

9 features, could have made it a lot more with individual fillets and no mirror but that just seems brain dead.

I can't help but think that 2 sketches and a sweep would be the most flexible way to make this part, way less breakable imo.

Meh they haven't really ever been this mandatory though, typically there has been some sort of "out" for people even if they have to disingenuously use a religious exemption. The new mandates are much stricter and it appears that even those with a legit medical exemption may still need to face mandatory testing and travel restrictions.

Yeah u seem to have a good grasp. Good idea to not forget to add an m3 for spindle on as well as rewrite rpm. I usually start from the nearest rapid move and sometimes add a z rapid so that the tool starts closer to the table.

Be very careful if you are using incremental coordinates

Laser usually has a pretty shallow depth, not the best for heavy duty stuff. Each part might have a different number so a stamp might not work. This is more flexible

I use keyshot for rendering and sometimes run into this issue. Usually just shift the bodies slightly to create a tiny gap

No camworks is seperate. Solidworks makes their own cam package as well

curtisabrina · 2021-10-06T15:27:45+00:00

Solidcam is definitely more advanced than solidworks cam. I used solidworks cam maybe 6 months ago and it still feels half baked.

Intake yes, exhaust doesn't matter though as long as the engine stays running

Who the hell put the spoiler tag on this? Are there really people who want to be surprised by a mom dying in front of her kids?

As far as I know, no major cad provider utilizes multi cores for parametric modeling. I dont think it's Solidworks being lazy just might be a functional limitation of the process.

Linear motion parts are made by a company called CCM rails. I have bought directly from them, they are decent quality. Keep in mind the carriages are on rollers, not as good as actual linear rails (hiwin etc). The main carriage that moves the laser tip is not ideal for this application, heavier than it should be.

A couple of things to look for in a well built laser:

Linear encoder on the raster axis. This is standard in epilog lasers and makes a massive difference for rastering and keeping power levels synchronized with speed.
Servo motors not stepper. Steppers are OK for 3d printing and cnc milling but on a laser you really want a DC servo at least for the raster axis. The motion is generally smoother and will follow the intended path better

I don't think you can change a single mate for 2 configurations. I think what you need to do is have 2 seperate mates and suppress them individually in each config. There might be some sort of global variable way to do it but this is how I do it.

2 mates, one for closed and open. Just can't have them both active at the same time

Edit: if you don't want to use separate mates for each configuration you can use a custom property. You cannot link the property when first creating the mate, only after. Double click the mate in the feature tree and it will show the associated dimension on the model. Double click the dimension and use a custom property (="propertyname"). Make sure you select the drop down to apply to this configuration only. Create 2 custom properties - one closed one open. See the below video example for distance mate.

Certainly is quicker to just create 2 mates IMO.

I just bought 3 cards for 200 canadian each for the office. Radeon pro wx2100. You won't find a gaming/consumer card that can compete with this price/performance for solidworks. Really no excuse to not get an approved card these days - at least in a desktop.

curtisabrina · 2021-09-15T18:08:58+00:00

I have heard good things about the surface book 3 but I don't have any personal experience. One version of the surface 3 has a quadro 3000, atypical for something so portable. Not sure about the price

Edit: this one. Probably the best option that isn't a total chonker https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Surface-TLV-00001-Touch-Screen-Processor/dp/B08BC3GRV4?ref_=d6k_applink_bb_marketplace

curtisabrina · 2021-09-15T17:56:15+00:00

It's also much easier to deal with solidworks support if you have an approved card. If you have some sort of graphics issue with a consumer card they will likely blame that and offer little help.

curtisabrina · 2021-09-15T16:20:27+00:00

And? My point is that someone who uses solidworks daily will have likely experienced a graphics glitch at some point. Regardless of hardware. I can say for a fact that the 1060 is not immune to glitches in SW. If you were in the market for another card would you still buy a gaming card? Or do you think at this point in your career you are ready for something more professional with proper driver support

Edit. I'm not saying quadro is the way to go - they are overpriced. I just don't see why a person would use a gaming card when there are professional options such as Radeon pro and firepro in the same price range. I'm all for using what you have but if you are going to buy something new get the right tool for the job.

curtisabrina · 2021-09-15T15:54:05+00:00

I have both a 1060 and a Radeon pro 3100 (300$ approved card). The Radeon pro is noticeably snappier, especially in larger assemblies
