Removing Interfering Material In A SOLIDWORKS Assembly
From my product designer’s perspective, one of the most useful functions in a 3D solid modeler such as SOLIDWORKS is the ability to check for potential interferences in their still-virtual assembly.

Use SOLIDWORKS Align Sketch Tool to Move Underdefined Sketch Elements to the Origin
While production models should generally have fully defined sketches, sometimes you just want to make all the elements in an underdefined sketch move to the origin, such as when working with imported or copied geometry. There is an easy way to do this in SOLIDWORKS, you just have to know where to look.

SOLIDWORKS Electrical: The Ins & Outs of Connection Labels
SOLIDWORKS Electrical Connection Labels may just make you feel a little more like MacGyver. That is, if he had access to a Swiss Army knife instead of a wad of gum and a paper clip.

How to Export Using a Custom Coordinate System in SOLIDWORKS
CAD systems like SOLIDWORKS and CAM systems use different directions for defining coordinate systems. The result is, when a model is exported from SOLIDWORKS and imported to a CAM system, the model comes up in the CAM system in the “wrong” orientation. The good news is there’s a simple fix!
