How to create custom studs with the Stud Wizard in SOLIDWORKS\u00ae?<\/strong><\/h1>\n
By Daniela KOLOSZKO<\/em><\/h5>\n

The procedure for creating custom studs is similar to the procedure for adding custom sizes in Cosmetic thread feature.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Select a required standard or copy one of them (which is recommended), using step “Hole Wizard” in the Toolbox configuration manager<\/li>\n
  2. Save it in the case of a copied standard<\/li>\n
  3. While still in step “Hole Wizard”, navigate the tree\/icons to Tapped Holes > Tapped hole<\/li>\n
  4. The \u201cSizes\u201d property will be selected; click the plus symbol to add a new size<\/li>\n
  5. Fill out all three values for the new size. You can use the existing sizes as a template for the formatting of text and values that you need to enter.<\/li>\n
  6. Save
    \n
    \n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    \n<\/li>\n
  7. Select the “Thread Data” property<\/li>\n
  8. Again, click the plus symbol<\/li>\n
  9. Fill out all ten values if the size does not already exist, making sure that the corresponding size values match EXACTLY with the size values entered in step 7<\/li>\n
  10. Save
    \n
    \n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    \n<\/li>\n
  11. Go to your part where you need to add a stud with the \u201cStud Wizard\u201d<\/li>\n
  12. Start the \u201cStud Wizard\u201d command and in the dialog select the standard, e.g., DIN<\/li>\n
  13. Specify the type of thread, e.g., \u201cStraight pipe tapped thread\u201d and the \u201cSize\u201d drop-down list should be populated with the custom size you have added.<\/li>\n
  14. Select the custom size to apply the stud.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    NOTE: For newly added data to populate in the list, we have to add the data in both \u2018Sizes\u2019 and \u2018Thread data\u2019 sheet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The stud has also additional parameter \u2013 \u201cUnderCut\u201d.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    The undercut data is not visible in the Toolbox application. But we can see them by opening \u2018swbrowser.sldedb\u2019 in SQLite DB browser.<\/p>\n

    In this table, the we have 6 different records for undercut:<\/p>\n

    For AI – “AI_DATA_UNDERCUT”;<\/p>\n

    For AM TappedHole – \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 “AM_DATA_UNDERCUT”<\/p>\n

    For AM StraightPipeTap – “AM_DATA_UNDERCUT_PIPE”<\/p>\n

    For DIN ConduitTap – “DIN_DATA_UNDERCUT_CONDUIT”<\/p>\n

    For DIN StraightPipeTap – “ISO_DATA_UNDERCUT_PIPE”<\/p>\n

    For all the rest – “ISO_DATA_UNDERCUT_METRIC”<\/p>\n

    Note : If the values inserted in the new sizes are such that they cannot create a correct sketch with the proper undercut from this table, the stud will not be created and will fail.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    SOLIDWORKS\u00ae<\/strong> \u2018Pack and Go\u2019:\u00a0 Commonly asked queries<\/strong><\/h1>\n
    By Gaurav GAYAKWAD<\/em><\/h5>\n

    Many a times we get questions related to Pack and Go which gets us thinking about its basics. Here are some information, which should be known to users when using SOLIDWORKS Pack and Go.<\/p>\n

    Why are drawing files not included in the \u2018Pack and Go\u2019, even if \u00a0option \u2018Include drawings\u2019 is checked and \u00a0drawing files are showing correct part references.<\/strong><\/p>\n
