Some of the topics discussed here answer a lot of questions asked on our Forum.

5. Automatic Conversion of Units in SOLIDWORKS File Properties

6. Create Custom Weld Profiles in SOLIDWORKS

7. SOLIDWORKS Materials in Multibody Parts

8. SOLIDWORKS Convert to Sheet Metal vs Insert Folds

9. Getting Started with SOLIDWORKS Drill Tables

10. Methods of Manufacturing Bending in Bending and Formed SOLIDWORKS Sheet Metal

11. Creating Incremental Numbers in SOLIDWORKS Using Instances for Variety

12. SOLIDWORKS Animations Using Distance and Angle Constraints

13. Importing a Vector Logo into SOLIDWORKS

14. Repairing the SOLIDWORKS Installation

15. Creating Exploded Views in SOLIDWORKS with Selection Sets

16. SOLIDWORKS Loft vs Boundary: Key Differences

17. How to Create Custom Cosmetic Threads in SOLIDWORKS

18. Quick Tips on Visualizing SOLIDWORKS Assemblies

19. SOLIDWORKS Drawings: Using $PRP to Link Properties

And there are so many other topics discussed by our Canadian colleagues.
I invite you to take a look at their website, you will surely find a lot of useful information.

And if you don't like GoEngineer, you can check out the javelin-tech site which is just as complete and didactic (both sites are both English and French, which sometimes makes it easier to read.)

It's Visiativ who will be happy with this post :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
(But at least it's not a link to Avenao :rofl:)

Joking aside, I've been consulting these 2 sites for a long time (often via internet searches that point to the solutions to my problems).

Good evening,

It's Visiativ who will be happy with this post :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

No worries on this side: Visiativ = Avenao?

=> Bah! It's also a bit to force their hand by showing them what the competition is doing... :upside_down_face: :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Thank you! some nice stuff!

Competing content that generates clicks and traffic for free on the forum is all beneficial for Visiativ ^^

Well done @m_blt :+1:

So there is only one Solidworks reseller left in Rhône-Alpes :scream: ?

After searching on the SW site, there would also be CADvision (which does not have the same structure as the other 2) and DRAFTCAD (specialized in draftsight...).

It's starting to be hegemonic.

The answer is in your links so I deduce that it was not a question :sweat_smile:

Indeed, it wasn't a question, but just a reminder of the title of the tutorial associated with the link (it's that the use of " visualization cubes" on mechanically welded bodies in order to obtain properties is not instinctive) :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Sorry for the work generated too much @FRED78 . :innocent:

but if you want to know more about the properties created by this function, you can configure them from the document properties => Welded constructions:
