Re: 10 1/2 Tips to Rock Your SolidWorks Assemblies

Great tips Josh! I already use a few of the ones you listed. The tip on making sub assemblies to dissolve is great. I had been thinking about doing that with the welding flanges I use when working on our machines piping. As usual, you are pumping great and useful information for the rest of us.

I like using the isolate command a lot to create a variety of display states to use in my drawings. It keeps me from having to do a lot of section views that generate a lot of drawing overhead in my view. It is very a very useful tool once you get use to using it.

Re: Why Smart Numbers are Dumb: SolidWorks Guidelines for File Names

Well Josh, this would be a great way to start a numbering system if you have a new company. Here at BWCO we have a system on the AS400 for Mapics called ERS . This system is setup to automatically pull the next number when you type in the 1st three digits of the series. It makes it very difficult to keep similar parts together. Perhaps when we get the graphical verion of Mapics it will go away and we can get a numbering system setup similar to this.

I have seen this on one of the shows on cable. I think it was Modern Marvels.
It is a really cool bit of engineering. I would not mind making a trip to go see it.
