Decreasing Solidworks Assembly Rebuild Times

Jeff Stein
in Modeling
0 0 Beginner
This tutorial is for decreasing Solidworks Assembly Rebuild Times, and part model rebuild times. If your assembly is taking too long to open, rebuild, rotate, zoom in, or out etc... try this easy Assembly Visualization tool right in Solidworks. Once you identify parts with the long rebuild times, use this tutorial to speed them up. https://grabcad.com/tutorials/solidworks-defeature-tool-to-speed-up-models

Creating Parts Catalog's By Combining PDF's

I discovered a way to knock out Parts Catalogs for the company I work for. This shaves off ton's of time on creating a parts catalog for your companies products. Typically I export the artwork and combine it in Adobe InDesign, it is a combination of EPS artwork from the drawings, and AI and EPS artwork such as decals, and company logo. The hyperlinks are created in the PDF file, therefore linked to the internal working of the file. Although that way takes quite a bit longer, there is not much difference in quality of the final work. I have created parts catalogs by this method in as few as 2 hours. Posting these to your companies website can save many hours from customer calls.

This is a useful, but hidden tool inside Solidworks called "Fit Spline". If you have had a DXF from a part that is imported geometry or the like, then this tool is for you. It is quick and easy, and reduce the complexity of your models, and reduce or eliminate the pausing of your laser at end of entities or nodes.
