The top enhancements for SOLIDWORKS 2021 provide improvements to Detailing mode Introduced in SOLIDWORKS 2020, Detailing mode provides a way to open massive drawings in seconds but is not limited to just viewing the drawing. Viewing performance is super-fast, thanks to the performance improvements added in SOLIDWORKS 2021. Detailing mode allows you to perform typical […]
Setting Root Marks in SOLIDWORKS Electrical
Whenever you place a symbol in SOLIDWORKS Electrical, it will automatically assign it a component designator. The designator by default is made up of a root mark, followed by an order number. The default root marks are determined by the class of the symbol. For example, motor symbols are in the motors class, which has […]
SOLIDWORKS PCB – Board Layout
SOLIDWORKS PCB —powered by Altium— is a new software solution focused on integrating electrical and mechanical design. SOLIDWORKS PCB enables the productivity you need to design Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) quickly along with unique collaboration between electrical and 3D mechanical design teams. To efficiently manage your PCB design workflow, it is important to be thorough and detailed […]
Revision Management in SOLIDWORKS Electrical
A lot of people want to know-how SOLIDWORKS Electrical revisioning works with PDM. However, SOLIDWORKS Electrical has a revision control built-in. You’re going to want the revision notes to be a part of the title block on the cover page and individual drawings, so it has the capability to annotate who drew, approved, and validated […]
How to Change the SOLIDWORKS PDM Client License Type

It is very important to make sure that you select the correct license type for the PDM licenses that you own, otherwise, you will receive an error when trying to log into the vault If the license […]
Solving Bucket challenge with SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation
For all the SOLIDWORKS designers and engineering enthusiasts out there, We’re sure you have seen something like this come across your social feeds at one time or another because we know we have. The question is which bucket will fill up first if the water is poured continuously into the first bucket. We have spent […]
Understanding Spreadsheet in SOLIDWORKS PDM
The use of $PRPSHEET can be confusing since it can be used in more than one way and can interact with SOLIDWORKS PDM or be independent of PDM. $PRPSHEET is intended to get information from one document, such as a part or assembly, into another document, such as a drawing. In order to understand how […]
