Been using Solidworks for 16 years. Just now learning about the shortcut for quickly dimensioning between MIN and MAX of circles. Thanks Ryan.

Great info! Keep them coming. Was Trained in Solidworks (years ago) but have only recently started working in Solidworks full time. I have 5+ years in AutoDesk Inventor so I have a lot of basics but I am adjusting to the Solidworks operational methods. Again, Great info.

[larryhill]

Please Do a video on how to change/create "Styles" of dimensions. Inches to Feet-Inches. In the meantime I will try to self-educate on the subject. Thanks.

Hi. Would you be able to answer me this question please. When sketching i do for example a rectaangle, give it dimensions and when i am adding other shapes inside this rectagular and giving them new shapes dimensions original rectagle dimension changes. There must be something that i am doing wrong?

[gergerismail]

I need help! How can enlarge some of a curve in the middle? So I try to edit my sketch like of a cube curve but its enlarge somewhere right or left but I want to enlarge it middle point equally in both directions.

Nah I am absolutely stuck, very new user here, I click on the smart dimension tool and then on two points of the side of a rectangle. But the numbers to edit the size are greyed out and it won't let me type it out - I have no way to change the dimension, I do not know how, can anyone help / explain please?

[thmtrngh]

the circles thingy, it has given me headache for 2 days before i watched this video. The other man kept saying hold "CTRL" key but what he was holding is "shift" lmao XD

[CrazyMarty]

Now show how we can put up a length but not have it change the drawing. IE: the line is 10 foot. But we want it to the dimension to show 6 foot?

[gustavogamez]

How can i do a 30 grade angle in a one corener of the square?

[himanshuprasad]

although I'm interested in cad designing and
i just like the way you explain things. keep it up.👍👍

[Gymnasium]

[andreaskurniawan]

[devilm]

[JM-cuex]
