I will show you how to insert a reference image into a sketch. You can do this in more then one sketch for a project and on more then one plane. When the image is no longer needed, just change the visibility of the sketch the image is in For this tutorial, I will be using an image of a vase to reference in creating a model of a similar vase.

This is a tutorial for the 'Software Tricks of the Trade' Challenge found here http://grabcad.com/challenges/software-tricks-of-the-trade Note: This is CPU intensive. You can view the tutorial files on GrabCad here: http://grabcad.com/library/tutorial-how-to-perform-a-transient-thermal-analysis-in-solidworks-1 The ZIP files contains the parts and assembly that I used to create this tutorial as well as some addition images that may help you find commands within SolidWorks. It also has the analysis saved. You can download it from the project link or you can additionally download the attached ZIP file, directly from here. A thermal analysis can be used to study the effects that temperature has on components or assemblies. Using a transient analysis can show you how the temperature varies with time. This tutorial will help you understand the basics of performing a transient thermal analysis in SolidWorks. Knowledge of heat transfer is preferable when doing a study like this.

Here are a few simple steps that I use to make my feature tree easy to navigate. This is not only beneficial to me if I want to go back and change my model down the road, but also for others who may need to edit my file. A clean and organized feature tree will save time in the long run and does not take much time on the front end. For this tutorial, the model I used is of my Grabby and the sldprt file can be found here: http://grabcad.com/library/grabby-2-wip/files/Grabby%202.SLDPRT The project is: http://grabcad.com/library/tutorial-tips-on-keeping-your-freature-tree-clean-and-organized-in-solidworks-1

Tutorial - Tip - fully defining sketches in SolidWorks (splines)

Stephen Nyberg
in Design & CAD
1 0 Beginner
There is a built-in feature in SolidWorks that will fully define your sketch for you. While this is not always the best tool to use as it can make your dimensions and relations of your sketch complicated. In turn making it hard to change or modify things down the road. It can be a powerful tool if this is not important or for defining splines or other complex geometry.
