The power move for me was realizing you could change the model by changing the dim on the drawing.. I had no idea that was possible after 12 years of using this software. THANKS!!
The more power moves you show us, the more I realize that I still don't know jack about Solidworks. I had no idea you could drive dimensions in drawings. And I am constantly jumping back and forth from drawing to part or assembly and back again to make adjustments. Talk about your time saving tips. Thanks TTT!
Great Tip I have been preaching the Model Items for over 20 years. Also preaching the moving of dims vs deleting since they came out. Next 3DX World we need to meet and hang out.
HI Toby can we have a session or series of sessions related to assigning annotations in Part/Assembly and then import directly to the drawings (such as a bit complex structures with different sections, assigning a single annotation to two views, etc.)
Yes this is a great suggestion and although many of my tips are on Parts and Assemblies, I do have quite a stash of Drawings related tips and tricks - Just need to release them out into the wild!!
This is great - similar to the method for reattaching dangling dimensions in a drawing. I think a video on how to reattach danglers, possibly also touching on the best ways to create non-auto dimensions in drawings (e.g. line to line Vs point to point?) and make subsequent edits to your parts (editing rather than deleting and remaking features where possible) to avoid them dangling in the first place.
Hey toby - love the channel but I have a question about that bass behind you. Do you even know how to play? Or do you just have that in the background, as eye candy?
Hi Will - Glad you are enjoying the channel! Here's a video I made in response to your question: ruclips.net/video/U1hKRRJtFgA/видео.html Hope this helps :-)
Yeah - a lot of times in top down modeling I add DRIVEN dimensions to the part that's dependent on the assembly layout geometry. Maybe that will work for you?
@@TooTallToby Personally I don't like model dimensions in the first place so I don't use them anymore (engineers like to change drawings to make numbers look nicer...breaking assemblies), but my last company required their use. If something was missing...that was fine, just drop a dimension in the drawing. But if something was there, you were not allowed to delete or hide it. Thankfully you were allowed to put it in brackets at least.

Same here. And this is particularly useful for me.
Nice! Glad that was a little bonus tip!
As usual always great tips!
Thanks!

nice!! Thanks Nuno! Glad you picked up some new tools to add to the toolkit!

Awesome sound great Neil!

Great Suggestion Parge! Thanks - I'll add it to the list!
Great explanation! thanks for the tips!
Thanks Tambaurora!
Great move Toby, NEVER to old to learn
Nice!
always surprising us with something new, even when we think we have mastered it.
Thanks Toby!
Thanks Edd! Glad you liked this one!
WOW, This is really great tip, Thanks Toby
Thanks BlueRay - glad you liked it!

@@TooTallToby OMG that's amazing!!
Such a great tip, as always! 😀
Thanks Gian!
Nice! The music was great too!
Yeah I dig that track too! Thanks Matthew!
Nice tips. Regards from Brazil
Hi Cesar and hello to everyone in Brazil!
How did I not know about "model Items" ?!
LOL - there are lots of little hidden gems! I'm going to try to uncover them all!!
Killer tip!
Thanks Neil!
Top down modeling means you get dimensions to points that are not even on the part. I hoped you had a trick for that :(

I use this if dimensions get dungled.
lol -yeah me too
