I created a template for each of our title blocks as well. I created a standard part & assembly templates to start new files with, and they include custom properties that are necessary to fill out our BOM template.Ĥ. This eliminated the need for editing all the info seperately.ģ. I've used custom properties for virtually all the title block info, so all you have to do is hit Alt+P then fill out all the information for the seperate items in one dialog. I created our standard title blocks with the company logo & placed them on the network for everyones use. This aids in finding files someone else has worked on, especially when you start to accumulate large numbers of files.Ģ. We have separated our files(part, ass & dwg) into seperate directories under our work orders on the network.
I've got a couple of things we're doing, and I was hoping for your suggestions for improvement or maybe some of our ideas may bring about other revelations.ġ. After all the only bad ideas are the ones left unspoken. This thread has the potential to do a great many things for fellow SW users as well as myself, so I'd like to encourage everyone to reply. I've been working on it for several months now on & off, tweaking & revising. I've been using SW for a couple of years now, and my current employer has given me the reigns to develope a design standard as well.

Please post your post your replies on here or email them to me. I would like to collect them and add them to the list that I have and Post them on here or email to the individuals that share their knowledge. I am sure most of SolidWorks Users have tips and techniques, best modeling practices, and proven standards that they have developed over the years, that they would like to share with other users. I have written/collected over 30 of these best practices. The SolidWorks users do not share best practices and standards knowledge very well with others Users. clever ways to create certain geometry in SolidWorks,Īdditionally, most of you have come up with company standards that maybe helpful to others when they want to write similar SolidWorks Standards for their own companies. There are many users out there who have discovered: I would like to start a new topic on this message board that, hopefully, will be of some use to all of the SolidWorks users.
