solidworks Intersection Curve create a 3D curve

Intersection curve

You can instantly create sketch geometry where the cross-section of a face, body, or entire model intersects a sketch plane with intersection curve. You can also use intersection curve to create 3D sketch curves from the intersection of faces, bodies, and models.

An easy way to create a sketch at the intersection of two surfaces is by using the Intersection Curve tool. This SolidWorks video tutorial shows the basics for using the tool, and gives a few tips, as well.
You can extract iso-parametric (UV) curves from a face or surface. Applications of this functionality include extracting the curves for imported surfaces and then performing localized cleanup using the face curves.

You can specify a mesh of evenly spaced curves or a position that creates two orthogonal curves.
Each curve created by this process becomes a separate 3D sketch. However, if you are editing a 3D sketch when you invoke the Face Curves tool, all extracted curves are added to the active 3D sketch.

To extract iso-parametric curves:

Click Face Curves (Sketch toolbar) or Tools, Sketch Tools, Face Curves, then select a face or surface.

Select a face or surface, then click Face Curves or Tools, Sketch Tools, Face Curves.

A preview of the curves appears on the face. The curves are one color in one direction and another color in the other direction. The colors correspond to the colors in the Face Curves PropertyManager. The name of the face appears in the Face box.

Under Selections, choose either:

Mesh - evenly spaced curves. Specify an integer number of curves for Direction 1 Number of Curves and Direction 2 Number of Curves .

Position - the intersection of two orthogonal curves. Drag the position in the graphics area or specify the percentage distance from the bottom for Direction 1 Number of Curves and from the right for Direction 2 Number of Curves .

Direction 1 Number of Curves or Direction 2 Number of Curves . Clear if the curve is not required.

Position Vertex . Select a vertex or point to specify the intersection of the two curves.

The Fluid Grid layouts are clearly based on Ethan Marcotte's Responsive Web Design (the book and the article that led to the book). This feature allows you to specify three fluid grids: one each for mobile, tablet, and desktop layouts. Each grid can have 2–24 columns; a common gutter width between the columns and you can specify how wide the grid should spread across each screen.
You then add fluid grid layout div elements to construct your page in the mobile layout. (Mobile First) The next step lands squarely in the category of "brilliant"—you can resize the elements in each of the layouts, snap them to the grid, and then easily move individual elements to sit alongside and play nice with each other. This is done in either Design view or Live view, and, best of all all, Dreamweaver automatically calculates the percentage width of elements and margins to four decimal places.
This calculation is based on Ethan's formula of target/context = result. A good example of this would be column width. Let's assume you have a page width of 1232 pixels and you decide each column should be 350 pixels wide. To get the fluid column width you divide 350 (the Target) by 1232 (the Context) = 0.28409091. You would then move the decimal two places to the right for a result of 28.409091. Dreamweaver's Fluid Grid layout calculation will shave off the final two numbers for a result of 28.4090 per cent. This calculation applies to anything that has "hard" numbers attached to it such as font size, margin, padding and so on.
The CSS created by the Fluid Grid Layouts uses percentage widths and floats, so it produces layouts that adapt to any screen size. These styles are constructed on the basis of "mobile first" and even work in browsers that don't understand media queries. For those of you new to Responsive Web Design, this one feature alone is enough to get you into the game.

Back a couple years ago SolidWorks gave us the capability to add flagnotes to our drawings without having to put a ''boarder'' over the number or letter. Although a small problem there are only 99 of each. Yes I know 99 is pleanty for 99.9% of all users. BUT, have you ever wanted another type of symbol, like a critical dimension symbol, key feature, or a tweek on a symbol that is already there, etc?. These can all be done with an edit to a file in the SolidWorks directory. The file is called gtol.sym. Its essentially a text file with the extention changed to sym.

The gtol.sym file is found in c:\\lang\english directory\. Open the file with notenad or any text editor you choose.

Opening up the file you will find there are editing and new creation directions at the top of the file.Step 1 is to make your own new catagory. Add a ''#'', and without a space add a shortened version name of what you catagory you are creating followed by a comma. Again no space then the whole catagory name you would like.

Example ''#Crit,Critical Notes'' (without the quotes).

Step 2, hit enter to go to the next line, and now its time to create the symbol itself. We need to give a name for SolidWorks to associate the symbol with and a name that the user pulls from the symbol pull down list. To do this type a ''*'' followed by possibly shortened name of the symbol, followed by a comma and then the name the user will see while creating the note.

Example ''*Crit1,Critical Note 1'' (without the quotes).

Step 3 is building the symbol with lines, arcs, circles, text and the other types listed above based on start end points.
Example:

A,LINE 0.,0.,2.0,0.
A,LINE 2.0,0.,3.2,.8
A,LINE 3.2,.8,2.0,1.6
A,LINE 2.0,1.6,0,1.6
A,LINE 0,1.6,0.,0.
A,TEXT 1.1,.8,
CRITCreating the symbol lines and all can be frustrating at times, but if you copy and paste from a similar type symbol, it will be much easier. If you need to create a symbol from scratch then drawing the symbol in SolidWorks and getting data from the x,y positions based with the lower left position at 0,0 and the distances in metric.

A symbol can be placed in your drawing, part or assembly any of 3 different ways.

Ready to take your SolidWorks macro/tool to the next level but don't know where to start? How about creating a fast, efficient .Net Taskpane add-in giving you total flexibility of your program and form designs through the .Net Framework at the same time as being in-process and perfectly integrated into SolidWorks?

After fitting as much as I could into the last 2 SolidWorks books the one thing I was always pining to get into the books was a good run down of creating Taskpane add-ins using .Net, however I did not want to cram it into the last 20 pages of a book; I wanted to cover it in depth. So, with that in mind I have decided to cover Taskpane add-ins over the next few months through our new Tutorials section of our site.

Right without any more chit-chat let's get right into it. This first tutorial will take you through creating a .Net Taskpane add-in that is registered and starts up when SolidWorks starts, becoming visible in the Taskpane tab for all to see. I will not cover any SolidWorks API stuff in this tutorial other than getting the Taskpane framework up and running the correct way (none of this Visual Studio Template Solution rubbish, let's do it properly!).

To begin with open up whatever copy of Visual Studio you have, and create a new C# (or VB.Net if you prefer) Class Library. Give it a name and click OK to create the solution and you are ready to start.
SwAddin Interface
By default Visual Studio will have created a class called Class1 to your project. Rename the filename in from the Solution Explorer to something more apt such as "SWIntegration". This should automatically rename the class name to the same, but if it doesn't rename that also.

In the class we need to add references to the SolidWorks libraries we added just, so that this class name knows where to find the SolidWorks things. To do this, take a look at the top of the file where it shows entries such as using System; (or Imports System for those in VB). These are namespace includes. Add another few lines below for the SolidWorks namespaces:

SolidWorks provides you with several ways to view which mates are associated to a component.

The most general way is to place your cursor over the top icon in the assembly FeatureManager, and right-mouse-click. Choose the option Tree Display – View Mates and Dependencies. This will place the FeatureManager in a mode where all the mates are grouped beneath their components. To return to the default display mode, right-click again at the top icon, and select Tree Display – View Features.

SolidWorks 2000 added a new assembly function to make mate searches even more convenient. Right-click over any component, and select View Mates. This invokes a split-screen display of the FeatureManager, and fills the lower half with the list of mates affecting that component. Starting with SolidWorks 2007, this command also shows callouts in the graphics window to illustrate the associated mates.

SolidWorks 2004 added folders on the FeatureManager for the mates attached to each component. Expand any part or subassembly in the assembly FeatureManager and you will find a "Mates in <assembly name>" folder directly beneath the icon for the part or subassembly. Expand the tree for that folder and you will see a short list of the mates of the parent assembly which involve that particular component.

What is the Best Way to Create a New Copy of an Existing Assembly, as Well as its Parts (Some of Which Have In-Context Features), and the Assembly Drawing?

This is often desired if you have a new design that is a modification of an old design, but you would like to manage and modify the new design separately. The easiest way is to use the Pack and Go command added in SolidWorks 2007 (see below). Here is an older method that also works:
