How To Use Reference Sketches As An Alternative To Top Down Assembly Modeling In Solidworks

Top Down Assembly Modeling | PDF

Top Down Assembly Modeling | PDF This video demonstrates how to use reference sketches as an alternative to top down assembly modeling in solidworks. more. to start, i have a pcb assembly and designed this pcb. One option to maintain your top down design structure is to use skeletons. you could put the references from your master model into a skeleton and use that as a reference for your parts.

Assembly Modeling | PDF | Top Down And Bottom Up Design | Icon (Computing) In solidworks top down assembly modeling quick tip, we discuss the difference between bottom up and top down assemblies and demonstrate how to use top down assembly techniques to create a part with external references to another in the assembly. To recap, the no external references command should be used in the case you want to avoid or do not want to create external references to existing parts in assemblies but want to use existing geometry to speed up the sketching process. I've had someone say they like to define global variables in the context of the assembly, or have part's sketches/features reference other parts in an assembly. like a sort of top down style of design. i wanted to know what you guys think, is it bad practice to have external references of a part. How many of you are aware of the existence of a new state for a sketch, called "reference sketch"? it can be used as an excellent tool for preventing "accidental edits". no dimensions or relations on that sketch will be available for editing, as long as the sketch is declared "reference".

This class focuses on alternative assembly modeling techniques in inventor that can help you build unique models quickly and simply, and without the nightmare of assembly constraints or circular adaptive references. With over 35 years of experience, the trimech group offers a comprehensive range of design, engineering, and manufacturing solutions that are unrivaled in the industry. /@trimechgroup. I do alot of "save as" projects and top down assembly makes those horribly frustrating because solidworks sucks at telling you what is referenced where and something inevitably blows up in my model if i don't break the reference. After much trial and error, my method has evolved into using a single part file to drive the entire assembly via global variables and sketch entities, abstracting as much as possible, and keeping in context relations to a bare minimum.
