SOLIDWORKS PCB – X-Spice Simulation for Circuit Analysis
SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) is a general-purpose, open source analog electronic circuit simulator. It is a program used in the integrated circuit and board-level design to check the integrity of circuit designs and to predict circuit behavior. SOLIDWORKS PCB has been designed as a professional level design system that allows Simulation Analyses […]
“MOD-DIAM” is displayed instead of a “diameter” symbol in SOLIDWORKS
The issue can occur if you’ve been running several versions of SOLIDWORKS alongside one another on the same machine. SOLIDWORKS routes its file locations for common items like templates and symbols to the same location for both versions of the software. The version which is installed first will be the source for these file locations. […]
