Get a list of all the parametric dimensions and variables in a SOLIDWORKS Part
With users migration to SOLIDWORKS from so many other CAD systems, one of the…(Ahem..) “deficiencies” we hear about is the lack of a singular location to see a list of all of your SOLIDWORKS parametric dimensions and variables within a part. Sometimes a list like…
Columns in your SOLIDWORKS Bill of Materials (BOM) can be used for more than reporting model values, quantity counts and custom properties. One of the options is to add a SOLIDWORKS BOM Equation column to calculate and show a result based upon custom properties or other columns…
