Thank you for all of your help! I’ll be starting a new job soon, and after not using Solidworks for 2 years, your tutorials are incredible helpful and I’m so appreciative of your teachings!
I just discovered Tools->Sketch Settings->Enable Snapping. If I uncheck that box, I find that adjusting a 3D sketch is a lot more predictable, especially when using it to route tubing in an assembly. The default (Snapping) causes the point you're dragging to jump perpendicularly to the current plane as it finds features in the assembly. Thanks for a great video!
Great tip, another thing that helps as well is holding down CTRL to avoid the auto relations to kick in, this again helps to get the point you want where you want, instead of defining it with automatic relations which might not be ideal in all cases.
Thank you for your informative videos. I am currently encountering a challenge when using the Weldment feature. After creating a model, the entire assembly is combined into a single part, which significantly hinders the creation of individual profile drawings on separate sheets. I have attempted to circumvent this issue by saving multiple copies of the part and suppressing all but one profile in each copy. However, this process is extremely time-consuming. I would be grateful if you could suggest a more efficient method for modeling weldments while minimizing the time required for drawing creation.
Well done mate! This is VERY VERY useful and important to understand. Why I am saying this because tutors or professors at colleges do not know how to explain. For example, showing some shortcuts or other ways how to draw complicated and unusual models. I have been struggled using any of these 3D softwares if there is anyfhing something complicated.
Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad that the video was helpful for you in understanding how to approach and tackle complex models in 3D CAD software. It can definitely be a challenge, but with practice and the right techniques, it becomes much easier to create these models efficiently and accurately.
I like to work with 3D sketch when I have to do a big frame with weldments. It takes more time to get it done and experience all the tricky features, but if you have a fully constrained sketch it can work nice. However I havent got a proper cut list in my life from these parts, somehow it's always buggy and sums up the individual sections. Looks silly when you have a 2m wide frame but the cut list sums up 3 of the sides and tells you to cut one 6+ meter piece instead of three 2 meters pieces.
your sketch is floating in a 3d space (3d sketches) and there are 6 DOFs for the sketch. But honestly, I havent noticed that. You really can't fully automate a 3D sketch? I'll check it when I go back to the office
It's odd that you never mentioned the primary method of 3D sketching which is to hit the tab key in a 3D view to rotate the triad on the run. Give it a go It's even easier than any of the methods presented here.
@@with-Aryan I'm coming from Creo 6.0 and just getting my feet wet. So basically I'm clueless on how the SW functionality works but I know what I want to do. Been using Creo since it was Pro-e, release 18. And 3D sketching looks really handy IMHO. Cool vids
Constraints are displayed automatically for the selected entity, e.g I highlight a line and that shows me what are the constraints/relations to it at the moment, but otherwise I just hold down CTRL and select the two entities to add a new constraint from the small pop up menu that shows up, this is the fastest way to do things.
From Bhutan....Sir,,, iam having problem with 3D sketch.When I add sketch plane to my model and when I double click to sketch plane it get disappear not even Dash line also ... so sir could solve my problem
Angle dimensions can be inserted in 3d sketch simillar to 2d sketch, only the added thing you need to do is define the 2 or 3 axis using construction lines with along axis relations. For line in 3 axial angle you need to give atleast 2 angle relation. One is from one line to other and one is from line to construction line.
