When was the last time you updated your SOLIDWORKS document templates?
Ed Eaton | DiMonte Group Inc.
There have been a lot of improvements and neat features added to document templates over the years. And there are critical things SOLIDWORKS missed in their default templates that you absolutely need to know about!
After you first set up your templates it’s easy to forget about them – that’s the great thing about document templates for Parts & Assemblies. But it also means that it’s on us to revisit them every few years to be sure we aren’t missing out on anything that could help us work better in SOLIDWORKS. In addition to the obvious document properties, during this presentation we’ll be talking about things in the feature tree, in configuration properties, in lights, etc. that are also part of the templates that can make us more productive and prevent errors. We’ll also be opening the floor for everybody to share what they have in their templates that they can’t live without!
This presentation has been given to the 25th anniversary meetings of both Chicago (CSUG) and Central Texas (CTSUG) user groups and was improved by both. Ed Eaton is hoping to get your input on his path to presenting this important and under-served topic at WORLD in Houston in February. You will see things explored in this presentation regarding document templates that you’ve never seen discussed before in any other forum.
