Video Tech Tip: Modify and Create SOLIDWORKS Configurations

Do you want to learn how to modify or create SOLIDWORKS configurations like a pro? Wondering what the right tool to use when configuring your parts or assembly? Look no further as TriMech Application Engineer, Dave Bazinet, demonstrates how to get the most from the Configurations Tool in SOLIDWORKS.

This powerful tool allows you to create multiple variations of a part or assembly model within a single document and provide a convenient way to develop and manage families of models with different dimensions, components or other parameters. To help manage this, Dave demonstrates how to create and modify configurations within SOLIDWORKS so that you’ll have a perfect balance of speed and control when working with configurations.

For many users, both new and more experienced, working with files with multiple configurations can get very complicated and confusing, especially if several different variables are being controlled in the various configurations. You’ll definitely want to take a look at this video if your goal is to have total control over simple and complex configurations within SOLIDWORKS.

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I've been trying to figure out how to make iterations of the same model but with different dimensions and this is the best one I've found after a long time of searching on YouTube.
