Below are the topics discussed and links to various resources regarding our recent Yakima SolidWorks Users Group Meeting. 

Our Recent SPRING MEETING 2016: 
Holly Cheek presented her model for the Master Model Techniques presentation which was very interesting and informative.  She started with a multi-body part, created various multi-bodies to partially complete the model.  She then exported each body as a part and inserted them into an assembly.  When the master part changed the associated part in the assembly changed too.    A video demonstration of this technique can be found at the following link: http://www.hawkridgesys.com/tutorials/solidworks/solidworks-master-model/ 

Heather Hasz then demonstrated the steps needed to implement the free SolidWorks add-in DriveWorksXpress, She took a bracket part with various dimensions and features on it and with just a few rules and a form showed us how DriveWorksXpress can create innumerable part files from the original file.  Very productive.

Below are various images of our meeting:
