Lunch & Learn - The Fundamentals of SOLIDWORKS Routing - Pipe & Tube
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 авг 2024
- www.cadimensions.com/products/... During this recorded Lunch and Learn webinar, we discuss how to get started using SOLIDWORKS Routing (included in SOLIDWORKS Premium). We also cover routing options, libraries and assembly management, etc. SOLIDWORKS Routing automates the way we make our tubes and pipes; allowing us more time to innovate.

OUTSTANDING. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I've had Routing installed for a year or two - didn't know where to begin. This video has me digging in (been using solidworks for 17 years, and haven't touched routing yet).
me too
BEST ROUTING TUTORIAL I HAVE FOUND, GOOD WORK
Exelent tutorial, i have never find a video that is so complete congrats 10 points for you continue doing this quality material
you are one of the best instructor over the world,why you could not make series training on solidworks,cover all topics.i know you familiar everything.
Great video. Very helpful! thanks!
Awesome!!!! just what I was looking for.
Thank you. I've learned a lot!
Phenomenal ! Thank you !
This is a good video... thanks a lot.
Amazing set of instructions!
thanks
Thanks for watching!
Awesome.....Thanks sir...
Thank you so much!!
thank you
good video my god bless you
I am attempting to insert a tee into my tubing assembly, but to no avail. I have tried both the drag-and-drop method, and the "Add Fittting" button. I have split my route in the correct place. Still, the tee I am trying to insert will not jump to any point, it usually winds up several feet away from the rest of the tube. Any idea what I could be doing wrong?
Thanks for doing this tutorial. I have a question: Can I leave a component file in one location (our usual vault file on the network), but then also use the routings component wizard to add it to the routings library?
I don't want 2 instances or 2 copies of the same file name to maintain, and I want the fitting *.sldprt file to stay in the vault location w/ almost all other parts, as there's other previous assembly files that reference these fittings from the vault location.
If I just drag and drop from the file explorer (opened to the vault location) on the right-hand menu instead of the routings component menu in the design library, will I still get the "smart" fittings behavior where, say, a hydraulic tee w/ c-points and a r-point will sort of snap itself into place w/ another hydraulic fittings w/ c-points?
Sorry for long winded-ness, but finding SW Routing expertise on the internet has proven difficult.
_______________________________
Also, I have a suggestion: If you could make a tutorial on best practices to create and automate flexible hydraulic hose assemblies, from:
- downloading various crimp end models from a manufacturer's website and:
----adding routings points (some tutorials add it to the end of a fitting so the hose assembly w/ be measured end to end, maybe explain the reasoning on how to do this?),
----how to set up stub lengths, what the other options do and mean,
----how to set up auto hose size (or if your spec'd hose dims aren't listed, add new sizes to the database), etc.,
- to adding new hose assemblies to an assembly and:
----dimensioning their (flexible spline curved) lengths in 3D space (SW may try to make them a diff length than what the real-world assemblers will need to cut and crimp them at)
----if we want even-inch lengths for hoses for our BOMs, is that a template setting that can be changed?,
----adding zip ties to bunch several hoses, how to get them not to interfere w/ each other
- to how to change virtual subassembly metadata so it fills in BOM templates that a company already uses (i.e.; changing routing template so "hose length" property changes to "LENGTH", because that property will already nicely pull into existin BOM templates)
- to how to create drawing templates so hose+fittings assemblies almost draw themselves (insert themselves into a view w/ a length dimension, ballooned, and the BOM displays the hose diameter/wall dims and fitting PNs, ready to save as a SLDDRW file w/ the correct part number as the file name, any other smart hose drawing automation practices.)
Kris Bunda: Routing component library can be a network
location and is actually recommended if you are working in a multi-user
environment. Step one is to make sure your design library is located or moved to the network. Step two when you run a component through the wizard it will be placed into the network library. Whenever a component is dragged in it will trigger routing because of the connection and routing points not because of the location. Hope this helps!
CADimensions, Inc. But does the file of the fitting that now has R-points/C-points have to physically change to the location of the design library?
I ask because some fittings that were just regular parts before may be referenced in other assemblies, and if I need to move their file location, it can lead to broken references.
Super, thanks.
Welcome 😊
Hello. When, I wanna add one component in the routing library manager, It say you need to progress to next step, please launch SOLIDOWRKS and open a part first. I made it but, I can´t solve the problem, could you help me please ?
Hi CADimensions, Inc,
Can you please ask Kevin Holbrook the following:
"On Routing Library Manager: Routing Component Wizard - Design Table Check (on Component type: Reducer) -- What is an H@Sketch1 represent in a reducer geometry?"
Thank you.
Best regards,
Peter Widjaja
Hi +Peter Widjaja - H@sketch1 is used to specify the total length of reducer fitting.
routing is such a primitive feature in solidworks, it doesnt even support that many components, and follows a completely different logic compared to how the software works, furthermore, the fitting rotation thingy is extremely irritating because you can't manipulate it using mates
