The main issue is whether the CAD model is a 1:1 match of the desired end-product. In general, we tend ... Best practice MBD CAD to CAM
Backhello all, i just started recently to explore the mbd, and i have a few questions, described in attached images thank you in advance hello, please help with a few beginer questions ( MBD )
BackHi, I would like some help with geometric tolerancing as I am quite new to working with solidworks. I have an assembly (see picture: assembly) where two pieces (disc and a flange (see picture: project)... Geometric tolerancing an assembly of two pieces
BackEvery dimension you see in the image above is assigned to the Front Annotation View. Additionally, they're all on the same plane. So, my question is this: WHY, when I activate and orient to the Front view, is... MBD - Leader line hidden by model
BackWhen using MBD, I am unable to actually publish to a 3D pdf on some parts. For other parts, it works fine. Is there any reason why this might be? "Publish to 3D PDF" Grayed Out
BackHow to add "Geometric tolerance" with linear dimensions(i.e Location dimensions) in MBD? mbd dimensions solidworks mbd Please refer to the below image How to add "geometric tolerance" with linear dimensions?
BackSo let me preface this with a couple of items: We have been practicing MBD for about 14 years now. We have done end runs, hacked the system, abused it untill we got models and assemblies looking the way we felt the s... Had a pleasant surprise today - General Profile Tolerance
BackHello! My company is in the early stages of Model-Based Definition and how to work more efficient with it. The way we work today is that in the sketches, when we are making the 3D-part, we are defining our dim... Sketch dimensions imported to MBD
BackI've watched a ton of MBD, DimXpert videos over the years from respected sources such as Trimech, GoEngineer, SolidWorks, etc. and they all have one thing in common: They present the practice of creating 3D annot... MBD/3D Annotations - Full dim or Minimal dim?
BackAfter years of reading articles, blog posts, attending conferences and ad hoc discussions extolling the virtues of MBD and the 'drawing-less' future, has there really been any substantive progress towards adoption in ... Let's be honest - what is the state of MBD in the industry today?
BackHello, When trying to publish to a 3D PDF from Solidworks MBD I get a "Permission denied on themes folder" error. See attached for popup. I do not know where the 'themes' folder is. I do not know where to grant pe... Permission Denied - 3D PDF Template Editor
BackDid you know that some of our partners (Computer Aided Manufacturing) can read STEP 242 files ? When you open the file you will find all the 3D views that were created in MBD. But it doesn't end there, PMI ... Leveraging PMI and 3D Views in standalone CAM thanks to STEP 242
BackHello, my company recently started to use Solidworks MBD for 3D drawing. My job was to make 3D drawings with MBD, make 3D views and then E-drawings. First of all i tried to clean up the modells because some of the ske... Hide dimensions in Solidworks MBD
Back3D PDF is a great tool for those who might not have SOLIDWORKS to view the models. This video will show you how to view 3D PDFs using Adobe Reader, which is a free program. This video includes the following: ... 3D PDF Using Adobe Reader

BackI have created a 3D PDF sample using some of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) test parts. To give a little background, NIST recently conducted their 2017 MBE PMI validation and conformance tes... An Introduction on How to Publish a 3D PDF The essence of MBD(Model Based Definition) is to directly define dimensions and annotations on the 3D model so that it can be reused throughout the whole life cycle. 3D...
