Video 196. Online SolidWorks - 20 - Tour, Linear & Circular Sketch Patterns – if it repeats, make a pattern. Exploring Linear and Circular Sketch Patterns and how to apply them. This time saving tool allows you to take established sketch geometry and pattern it around your sketch. In this video we will show how to apply the Linear and Circular Sketch Patterns to your sketch and model. Back to the top - Video 197. Online SolidWorks - 21 - Toolbar Tour, Linear Feature Pattern, a Quick Tour - Applications & Options. In this video we will show how to apply Linear Feature Patterns to your model. We will start with our Hinge Plate model and create a small hinge cut as a seed and then we’ll pattern it to the end of the hinge round while discussing spacing, instances, Instances to Skip, Up to Reference, Surface, Centroid and other options.

In this video we will show how to apply a Circular Feature Pattern including options for selection and Instance Spacing and various errors that may occur along the way. Back to the top - Video 199. Online SolidWorks - 23 - Toolbar Tour, Revolved Boss/Base using Lines & Arcs with Distance and Angles. In this video we will show how to apply the Revolved Boss/Base feature in the form of an axially symmetric push rod using a series of chained lines and arcs. This video will also demonstrate how provide a minimum and maximum conditions to the diameter of your rod. Back to the top - Video 222. Online SolidWorks Extras - 46 - Revolved Boss/Base Feature - Wine Glass – Photo Real Rendering. In this video we will show you how to use various entities of sketch geometry to create a model of a wine glass, using the Thin Feature for an enclosed form. The second half of the video we will show you how to create some photo real renderings of the wine glass using PhotoView 360 Photo add-on program in SolidWorks. Back to the top - Video 200. Online SolidWorks - 24 - Sarrus Wheel – with Ellipse, Straight Slot & Circular Feature Pattern. In this video we introduce you to creation of the Sarrus Wheel Model. We will explore various Sketch Entities including the Ellipse and the Slot Sketch Entities - specifically the Centerpoint Straight Slot. Back to the top - - Video 242. Online SolidWorks Extras - 65 - How to Sketch Using Line to Arc, Slot Tool, Hole Wizard Holes & Revolved Boss/Base. How to model the Positon Guide part with a Base Feature involving various sketch entities embedded into the Base Sketch including the Line to Arc, Centerline Arc, Slot Tool and applying the Maximum and Minimum Conditions to an Arc Dimension. We will also look at various features including the Hole Wizard on a bolt hole pattern, Linear Feature Pattern, and the Revolve Boss/Base. We will also look at the root causes of the Base Sketch properties error, the Top Tool Guide sketch error and the various ways the Position Knob can resolve itself using the same sketch geometry (only one way is correct).

Online SolidWorks Extras - 66 - How to Use Sketch Picture to Create an Accurate Sketch for your Base Feature. How to Use Sketch Picture to create an accurate form for a sketch for your base feature involving complicated geometry and hard to measure surfaces. We will also use the Sketch Picture - Enable Scale Tool and an alternative way (or old fashioned way) using just sketch geometry and scaling and manipulating the picture. Ultimately we modify the Sketch Picture to make it square in the Graphics Area then Sketch along the edges of the object using lines, arcs and style splines. We make it fully defined by applying Sketch Relations, creating Virtual Sharps and applying angle, radius and length Smart Dimensions. Back to the top - - Video 244. Online SolidWorks Extras - 67 - How to Flip a Fully Defined Sketch - a Quick Fix. Finding why a Sketch is not Fully Defined. How to Flip a Fully Defined Sketch - a Quick Fix. Also this video provides an opportunity to demonstrate various ways to finding why a sketch is not Fully Defined when it should be. Various tips tricks and traps. Back to the top - - Video 245. Online SolidWorks Extras - 68 - How to Dimension to the Center of an Arc or Fillet – Finding the Virtual Sharp. How to Dimension to the Center of an Arc or Fillet in a sketch, once the fillet has been applied. This video explains why it’s not apparent and demonstrates a couple of different solutions. Part of the solution is finding that “Virtual Sharp”, or that corner that would exist if the two sketch entities (lines or arcs) on either side of the fillet were extended and connected again, like before the fillet. This video also describes how to get that Virtual Sharp back once a fillet has been applied before a distance dimension. And it also shows that it will appear when you add a fillet after a distance dimension. Back to the top - - - Video 249. SolidWorks Q&A - 2 - SolidWorks Crashed! Finding the Auto-Recovery Folder in the CAD Lab. How to recover your SolidWorks work - in the CAD Lab. Back to the top - - Video 246. Online SolidWorks Extras - 69 - How to Fully Define a Sketch with a Linear Sketch Pattern. In this video w will describe how to fully define a sketch with a Linear Sketch Pattern. It takes a few steps and can be tricky - and without it being fully defined - it can get away from you causing some hard to sleuth errors.
