This video might have been for an older version of SW, but I can confirm the procedure still works in v2020! Perhaps this problem's been addressed another way now, but this worked. Thanks!

You saved literally saved my life. I had prepared a geometry in Spaceclaim and suddenly, coordinate system has changed and there is no way to change it back. Thank you a lot :D Because of you my BCs will be correct :D

Thanks for the tip! I learned something new and I've been using Solidworks for about 10 years now. In my case the imported file was a STEP file and after adding a new coordinate system I saved it as a STEP again before re-saving as a solid part. So I guess the suggestion would be, after adding a new coordinate system, save the imported file as the same type as the original. It not necessarily would be ACIS, it could be other types.

At first I thought this didn't work. BUT a couple of important points I found out. When making the sketch you need to use a planar face I believe and not a plane of the model you're trying to change. Also I had to make a 2nd sketch as my original part imported as a Parasolid the "TOP" was actually FRONT which was SOOOOOO annoying. So I made 1 sketch for X and Y and another for Z. Then when imputting the "NEW" Z this would be the sketch that was actually on the X or Y of the reference model I wanted to change.! It took like an hour to figure this out but it worked!

Save As "Parasolid" (X_T) Parasolid is the native geometric modeling kernel Solidworks uses,... Parasolid x_t is a clean native import/export. (SAT or STEP or IGES go through a translation)

This is not working at all for me. When I add the coordinate system, and select lines to define an axis, the functionality is all screwed up. When I select a second axis, the first one I selected moves, resulting in improper orientation.

Thanks for the explanation. Do think its a flaw in SW. You shouldn't need to rename a template cause of this. Template should need that setting Z upward standard. You can change Z-upward too in views. hing is this also needs to be done every file... Z is always Upright in coordinates. Why is it vertical in SW?!
@goengineer Жыл бұрын
Different industries standardize these orientations differently. Solidworks gives us the tools to create templates to accommodate whatever is the most practical for our different industries.

There are a number of things that could cause that issue. The first thing to look into is making sure you have a proper graphics card and river combo www.goengineer.com/blog/checking-your-graphics-card-with-solidworks-rx If updating the driver does not help get with your VAR for further troubleshooting advice.

Why do you suggest saving as ACIS or SAT when the native kernel to Solidworks is Parasolid?
@sendwithafriend9 жыл бұрын
Parasolid has the coordinate option as well. I'm just wondering why you would switch from the native kernel and risk data loss or corruption?

PROBLEM: when you save as SAT and reopen, all the original defining geometry is lost. You end up with an imported file. Not good
@goengineer Жыл бұрын
Anytime you convert your solidworks file to another file type you are likely going to lose your feature tree information. This is a limitation of the generic file formats not holding the tree information. You can use feature recognition to get some or all of the feature info back, Or if you are trying to re-orient your model you can try to Update standard views like in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWKXoqWdh8plgKc

Can this be applied to an existing assembly to remain as an assembly with the new coordinate system?

Hi Philip, There is no reason this same technique could not be applied to an assembly. An assembly should reconstitute itself as an assembly after going through this process.

I couldn't reopen the ACIS (*.sat) file, it said how to you want to open this file ( look for an app in the app store....)
@goengineer5 жыл бұрын
Hi Luke, ACIS (.SAT) files are not associated to SOLIDWORKS be default. These are a somewhat neutral CAD format that is read by many CAD programs. You can open this file in SOLIDWORKS by going through the 'File', 'Open' dialog, selecting ACIS file type, and opening the file directly though.
@antoniodray84145 жыл бұрын
Or you can open a new empty part in solid works and drag the file, it worked for me and I had the same problem

I was presented with three choices when I began a sketch. Top, Right, Front. To me the top is above the bottom. I was starting on the top, figuring I could design upward from the top plane, essentially making the initial information about it the bottom of my part. Extruding upward. So I thought. Wrong! This shit is as intuitive as hieroglyphics carved into rocks. SolidWorks, where up is not up, it's to the other side of the front. The one we chose for you. It pisses me straight off. I know you are trying to explain how to change it. I am wondering WHY? Why does the top of a sketch protrude from the front or side or whatever they decided to call it? Is there some legitimate reason Y is interchanged with Z? My CNC has Z as a waterline.

I like how we need 5 minutes to simply "rotate" because solidworks is so trash and anti-user
