Hi Has anyone used solidworks to design any bits ? i recently snagged a copy and have been playing about learning the program Its pretty complicated but so far i have designed an engine mount for an R/C car i have always wanted (the mount not the car!) I'm about to have a go at a flywheel I'll post up a pic soon Steve
I cant figure out loads of stuff ! I guess it will take a while, having issues with trying to recreate a hole in 3 different places around a centre bore, evenly spaced, i am trying to use circular pattern but i'm obviously doing something wrong
That's the main problem I have with it, the placement of shapes. In autocad you just draw a line and move the shape point to point. In solidworks you need to use smart dimension to move them to the correct place. I still try and draw lines though. The. Just extrude cut the holes you want, obviously after you have made the extrude boss.
