That can be more efficiently represented another way.ġ1) Use of sketch relations rather than explicit dimensions (for example toĬenter a hole on a block, use a midpoint relation to a diagonal) when theġ2) Use incontext relations sparingly.

Please post your post your replies on here or email them to me. I would like to collect them and add them to the list that I have and Post them on here or email to the individuals that share their knowledge. I am sure most of SolidWorks Users have tips and techniques, best modeling practices, and proven standards that they have developed over the years, that they would like to share with other users. I have written/collected over 30 of these best practices. The SolidWorks users do not share best practices and standards knowledge very well with others Users. clever ways to create certain geometry in SolidWorks,Īdditionally, most of you have come up with company standards that maybe helpful to others when they want to write similar SolidWorks Standards for their own companies. There are many users out there who have discovered: I would like to start a new topic on this message board that, hopefully, will be of some use to all of the SolidWorks users.
