Hello, I would like to set up layers on solidworks , for machining on my numerical controls. (as AutoCAD does). but I don't know at all how layers work on SW.
On the IMG2 attached file, these are the layers that I created so that the machining can be done on the numerical control (BIESSE)
On the IMG1 attachment, it is the part inserted into a drawing that I have to machine and therefore put the layers.
My question is how do I put a specific layer on each hole, then save it in DXF, and then do the machining automatically on my NC?
There is also a way to go through Solidworks -> dxf/dwg export options where you can define the layer by type of entity (strong lines in one layer, axes in another, hidden lines in a 3rd ..).
Given your need, it may be easier to manage it there (than at the level of layers on .slddrw)
After SW is not a soothsayer: he can't know that some strong traits must go in one slap and others in another. I don't even think it's programmable by macro (possibly based on the names of the functions if you put different names depending on the layer where the edge is to end: but it seems very complex to program (and even more complicated to use on a daily basis: users will forget to change the names of the functions when they change the size of a hole)
