Use SENSORS in SolidWorks to quickly CALCULATE MASS!

Join us for the upcoming SPEEDMODELING TOURNAMENT - TooTallToby.com/Leaderboard
In today's power move Toby will show us #howto setup #solidworks #sensors .
This tool can help you quickly calculate the mass of the part, and this tool can be included in a SolidWorks Part template!

I always wondered about sensors and now, I know everything about it thanks to you, Toby!!!!!!!

[@TooTallToby]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@SuperJJ37]

Awesome tip Toby! I had no idea this even existed. :)

[@TooTallToby]

Awww yeah this one is awesome!

[@ciorad1389]

Excellent Toby. Thank you!. Dragos

[@TooTallToby]

Aww yeah thanks Dragos!

[@atrikagautam2352]

Very Usefull information....Please keep on share more tricks

[@TooTallToby]

Nice! Glad this is helpful! Check out the POWER MOVES playlist for lots more tips and tricks!

[@Auday365]

I used mass sensor before, and it is very useful for speed modeling, and also did one further step, I have a text on the screen that always showing the mass using mass value as the text value

[@TooTallToby]

Awww yeah! That is awesome!!

[@jelasukmawan2359]

Very interesting info, make more trick videos like this and make a playlist of the videos so they are easily accessible and searchable

hope this helps

I have used sensors before. I used to tell me the volume of a hopper. Very useful tool.

[@TooTallToby]

Yes indeed - super helpful for volume for smaller mold design, too!

[@dlamini76]

Good one

[@TooTallToby]

Thanks!

[@youssefabdelhameed7942]

First off, really nice work and I seriously love your videos. Secondly, I was under the impression that sensors were used primarily in assemblies and with motion analysis. I would love if you make a video involving tips and tricks for sensors in assemblies.

[@TooTallToby]

Thanks very much! Glad you enjoy the content! that is an excellent idea - I will try to make a video on sensors in assemblies - thanks for the suggestion!

[@cadcaetutorial2039]

So nice this videos sir

[@TooTallToby]

Wow thanks!

[@stephanewey420]

Thanks for the good tips. I see also you have the unit bug in this 2023 version. There is more than 3 numbers after the point. 😁. My technical support had say it Will be change in SW2024...

[@TooTallToby]

lol - yeah

[@bjh9501]

👍

[@TooTallToby]

hi Barry!

[@damianhans5463]

Wow really cool feature. I thought it was a specialised "sensory" device that sends data to a specific automated machine to be manufactured or translate/control the sensory device in a assemblies.😅😅😅

[@TooTallToby]

Thanks - Glad this helped show some additional functionality!

[@avitolourenco]

weird for it to need a full forced rebuilt to work, Sensors should auto update on each new sketch/feature added, I think inventor does it like that.

[@franklaurent80]

Agreed

[@TooTallToby]

yeah I tested it again - it works with a regular rebuild too, but it doesn't just "auto-update" when you add a new feature. You would think that it would do some kinda rebuild when you add a feature, and this would be enough. But I guess not.
