a better microphone would be absolutely worth it for you

Very nice presentation of a very interesting product. I will not let a tradesman into my house without one!

Very good mate, thank you. A better microphone would make it even better.

Nice one but I wish you went into Guide Curves too while you were at it!

Here is a question i had for about 9 years - when i do a 3d sketch. Why does a whole complex sketch turn overdefined when i add one dimension to a newly drawn line which has no other relations?

Same question for starting in a 2D sketch with a fully defined slot, which turns overdefined when i try to mirror or linear pattern it. Its underdefined and draggable at one point - I add one new 1D constraint and it all turns overdefined.

Which Screen Recording software you are using.

Hi, Very nice useful video.Thank you so much.

Hopefully someone can help me. I am trying to make an aircraft wing. I have created the four sketches. I get an error that tells me the loft cannot be made because it would create self-intersecting geometry!

[frankrodriguez]

I want to create some bent foil like tabs on an electrode any suggestions?

[furyfury]

Hi dudes, i got an issue, i can't select close loop and it isn't highlighted, any suggestions ?

[RussianBearTu]

I have issues with this, it only selects one closed loop and I can't select the other one, i sketched similar shape as you have...any suggestions?

[alrawahikhalood]

can anybody tell me how he make that feature at 20:09

Good luck if you need something that is not provided by the tool ... Can you do stuff programmatically in SolidWorks, like add arbitrary attributes to points / objects and transfer them between them..

[rajen]

Really a nice tutorial. Learned a lot. Slightly improved commentary would help many...

[capounosavage]

Good day Sir
I have got a very complex loft that I am not able to solve.
It is the cowling of my airplane that I am trying to make it new style.
Would you be able to give me a help?
Of course I could forward the sketch and guide curves.
It is very complex!
Thanks
Regards
Gianluca

Can you guys do one on basic pool shapes with angles
