SOLIDWORKS: In-context Design

Показать описание
Have you ever found yourself jumping back and forth between a part and assembly to measure critical dimensions? If so, in-context designs may be a helpful to speed up your design and make sure changes update properly by allowing you to perform edits and modeling to parts within your assembly.

0:12 Intro
0:30 Insert "Top Cover" part into "Raspberry PI" assembly
1:10 Important: Where do you want to have the changes to the part happen? You can choose to have it only happen in the "in context" of the assembly or "in context" of the part.
1:49 Right click "Edit Part" to make cuts a part level feature. You will now be editing part while in assembly file
2:06 UI change to default colors and opacity when in edit mode
2:55 Badass shortcut used but not discussed....here is how you do it Hover + TAB = Hide body (Hover + SHIFT+TAB = show body)
2:58 Make sketch for cuts. Use intersection curve to project entities and cut part.
4:21 Explanation of the link between assembly and part. Notice in Feature Manager "->" next to features made "in context" of the assembly
4:53 Make a brand new part in assembly file, Click "Insert Component > Create New Part" and create on a new sketch plane. Notice in Feature Manager "[ ]" around the new 'in context" part aka "Virtual Component".
6:48 How to "save as" virtual component out as a separate part.

Thank you for the tutorial video. Great job. I never realized the Convert entities had intersection curves, I have never used that option? I love Solidworks and how I am always learning new tricks. Thank You for the lesson.

Great! Did you use a shortcut to hide the plastic case ? Before projecting the curve. Thanks !!

Hi, you don't mention a potential issue when changing the color for the edit part, that is the color (default:blue) is also applied to the text in the feature manager.

I cannot stand that this cover is slightly offsetting... But beside that great presentation, thank You :)
