Hi community, I hope you've been doing well for a long time.
I'm looking for a specific option on SW PCB, the "teardrops", so I'm wondering if there are some people here who can help me or if I should give up all hope with this software. It's a basic option that exists on all PCB creation software, from the most expensive to the most bastard, but obviously not on Solidworks PCB, supposedly powered by Altium.
Thank you.
PS: I see that my suggestion to add Solidworks PCB to the list of CAD Products was not retained, so this gives a clue as to the answer to my question...
The problem is that SW PCB is an add-in and not an add-on. Add-ins have the particularity of addressing niche users, which translates into little presence on forums. I don't even know if the strong guys on the hotline would be able to answer!
In these cases, the best thing to do is to go to the add-in forum, which is 95% in Anglo-American or directly to Altium. I encountered this problem on the Add-in relating to MODO and I found the answers on the US forum, but since then SW natively integrates the original MODO files
Kind regards
PS: just out of curiosity what interest for you to have PCB in SW. I naively thought that a pcb is a part like any other.
The thing is that in Altium Designer there are many more features than in the ultra-lite version offered by SW PCB. So, even if I find how to use PCB thanks to Altium's documentation, it turns out that the absence of all its options in PCB prevents me from getting the same results. So I think that the Altium after-sales service can do nothing for me. It would rather be SW's after-sales service that a request to add features should be addressed. But apart from the fact that I don't know who to contact, I doubt that they will bother to integrate them at the sole request of my insignificant person...
PS: The interest is to be able to integrate and adjust pcbs more easily to SW projects (assemblies), such as cases, models, and other ancillary elements such as mechanisms, battery, etc.
Hello @Sylk Still using SW PCB? Your feedback reinforces my choice not to have even tried to evaluate their solution. From the moment they told me that they didn't follow the releases of Altium but that they had integrated a fixed version, I felt that it was going to the wall. On my side, we use Circuitworks but the support is no better...
