SOLIDWORKS Electrical
Electrical tech tips and tutorials by certified SOLIDWORKS Experts
While inserting multiple symbols for some component types is possible, it is not possible with SOLIDWORKS Electrical terminals. Therefore, a workaround is required if you would like to insert multiple symbols for a single-level terminal without making it a multi-level terminal. The solution to this issue is the use of connection labels in SOLIDWORKS Electrical….
Origin-destination arrows can be used to create a continuity link between wires in different areas of a single sheet, or to show a continuity link between wires that are displayed on separate sheets. So, what happens when you attempt to insert the arrows, and the green circle that indicates an arrow can be placed does…
How to Show Total Length of Each Wire by Line Style Used in SOLIDWORKS Electrical Reports
Displaying the total lengths of each wire style used in an electrical drawing can be beneficial when having to specify the specific amount of each wire style used for vendors. This can help reduce the time it would take to add up the length of each individual segment manually. SOLIDWORKS Electrical allows for this functionality…
When a 2D Footprint symbol is created in SOLIDWORKS Electrical Layout, the software automatically adds a ‘Wipeout Frame’ based on the extends of the footprint you’re working on. Firstly, to view frames of a symbol, simply go to the Panel Layout drawing window by selecting “Show wipeout frames” in the grid setting tab (See image…
Setting up Collaborative Space for SOLIDWORKS Electrical’s ESX
Electrical Schematic Designer is a role that brings the functionality of SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic Professional to the cloud. The design functionality is quite similar, but there are some modifications and changes in order to operate on 3DEXPERIENCE that this blog will focus on. We will cover the installation process, learning how to store your libraries…
SOLIDWORKS Electrical: Potential Electrical Installation Warnings and Error Messages
SOLIDWORKS Electrical provides powerful tools that helps engineers design, manage, and analyze electrical systems. With its intuitive user interface, engineers can quickly create schematic diagrams, generate accurate reports, and even automate creating wires. SOLIDWORKS Electrical also allows engineers to collaborate with colleagues to make sure projects stay on track. SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic and SOLIDWORKS Electrical…
Global symbol attributes in SOLIDWORKS Electrical can be useful in cases where it is desired to change default properties of an attribute text such as appearance, name tag, and description on a global scale. This feature prevents users from having to set these properties manually each time which can be time consuming. To add a…
