I hope you like who you’re sitting next to… © CAPINC Team 1:Team 2:
3
Some of these techniques are NOT good modeling practices, and NOT recommended for everyday use… …but sometimes, you need to get things DONE. © CAPINC
4
You have a part file with a weird shape and an enclosed volume. You want a body to represent the EMPTY SPACE inside your part. How do you do it? © CAPINC Hint #1: Multi-bodies Hint #2: Combine Feature
5
Now you have an ASSEMBLY with a weird shape and an enclosed volume. You want a part to represent the EMPTY SPACE inside. How do you do it? © CAPINC Hint #1: Insert…Mold…
6
You’ve got 100 different part files which suddenly need a NEW, CUSTOM, file property. How do you do it? © CAPINC Hint #1: Assembly Hint #2: Custom Property Tab
7
Your boss really, REALLY wants to see this spring flex in your assembly. How do you do it? © CAPINC Hint #1: Mates can flex Hint #2: Lots of little parts
8
You need to make a measurement inside an assembly. But, your co-worker e-mailed you JUST the assembly (.sldasm), none of the parts! How do you do it? © CAPINC Hint #1: Don’t use SW
9
You’ve got 3 minutes to make a complex sub-assembly 25% bigger. It only has to look right. How do you do it? © CAPINC Hint #1: Not an assembly anymore…
10
You’ve got a fish-mouth joint. Your shop floor wants to print out a 2D “template” to wrap around the tube to mark it before they cut. How do you do it? © CAPINC Hint #1: Sheet metal
11
You need to make a section view, but it’s not just a straight line. “Aligned Section View” can only use lines, not arcs. How do you do it? © CAPINC
12
You need to have a single drawing annotation that intelligently links to: -a balloon, -a datum flag, -a dimension, and -a GTOL How do you do it? © CAPINC Hint #1: You can’t spell annotation without “note”
13
© CAPINC Your part starts as a helix, but then bends to follow a path. But a helix only goes straight. How do you do it?
14
You need to e-mail an X MB part file to someone. Your e-mail size limit is X/2 MB. Your e-mail also blocks.zip files. How do you do it? © CAPINC Hint #1: What’s taking up space, the feature inputs, or the feature outputs?
15
1. To fill a part volume… 2. To fill an assembly volume… 3. To assign properties to 100 parts at once… 4. To make a springy spring… 5. To measure just an assembly file… 6. To make an assembly just a little bigger… 7. To make a printout of a fish mouth… 8. To make a stair step section view… 9. To make a monster annotation… 10. To make a helix follow a path… 11. To compress your file quickly… © CAPINC

Files for “Fill er up” 1 and 2, and “Just a Little Bigger” came from grabcad.com, a fun, free download site for SW models everyone should use.grabcad.com Thanks to Mike LaFleche and Doug Russell for their help during the presentation!
