How to Set Up Print Configurations for DraftSight
Whether you place a View Port to Model space where your work and title block is or you are placing the desired title block on a Layout Tab, you may notice that the white paper space of the layout is not the same size as your title block. This can affect the output of printing. […]
Go Green with ECO Design Engineer: Getting Started
Eco Design Engineer is a role in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform that allows users to iterate and optimize their product’s environmental footprint. It allows for comparison of design alternatives to ensure minimal impact on the planet. Much of a product’s environmental impact is determined during the design phase. As below, with the power of the virtual […]
Harness the Power of SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D Cable Fabrication
One of the biggest benefits that using SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic and SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D brings us is the ability to get a single cohesive view of my electro-mechanical assembly.
