It is much better with the New Surface Pro. Using Solid Edge on the Microsoft Surface Pro tablet or Surface Book gives you full access to your 3D computer-aided design (CAD) projects on a high. SOLIDWORKS search, automation, and configuration tools simplify the reuse of existing design data to create new designs. Also, on SP 3 and 4 theres active cooler that can be noisy (for a tablet) when running hight CPU for longer time.

With the fast-moving pace of today’s work, the knowledge of how to use these tools effectively is a must and it will have a clear impact once a project has been completed. With SOLIDWORKS, a range of tools helps you reuse existing 3D CAD models and 2D drawings, which accelerates your design process, saves time and development costs, and increases productivity. And selecting the ‘Tab Face’ allows SOLIDWORKS to generate the tab and slot. Using Access I have consolidated some my data from multiple database list using Queries, this give me just the data I wanted. As of late I have been linking to an MS Access (2007) Database for my property selection data. SOLIDWORKS did this, cause a non-Sheet Metal Part may have differing thickness down the length of the Tabbed piece. I have been using the Property Tab Builder for about a year with no real issues. Using the powerful tools at hand in SolidWorks can help edit previously made structures as well, allowing for quick updating of changed designs. Yes, you will have to select the Tab surface every time (for non-sheet metal parts). Overall, the Weldment tab/tools available in SolidWorks can be used to quickly create and assemble both basic and complex weldment structures saving time. Right click on the part you want to subtract from and select edit component. Now using combine/indent tool, subtract the main body from the other body. This can be corrected by entering an angle value into the angle input box under the alignment section inside the property manager. In part simple extrude and create a body.
When inputting some tubes into the sketch they can come in twisted and not centered to their intersecting tubes.
Be sure to think of how the pieces would really fit together and put them into the sketch in that group order.
When first putting the tubes into the sketch it almost must be done like a puzzle to have them go in the way desired. Figure 7: Trim & Extend example Things to look out for
