[@keisuketakahashi3597]

Thanks man so much. learned very good tips today.

[@thoughtbombdesign]

No problem! Glad to hear it.

Use breadcrumbs, they’re very useful to speed up selections

[@CADCAMChronicles]

i sometimes have a hard time with appearances not enabling or showing when i render parts.

[@thoughtbombdesign]

Yeah, it depends on whether you apply appearances on parts, part bodies, surfaces,... Sometimes I have to just 'remove all appearances' from a part and start over so I can make sure it works

How did you 2 tap on face & directly goes to sketch instead of tap on sketch

[@ilovevsm.comkenmorevintage2150]

Excellent! Thanks!

When you click on a feature the measurements popup immediately. What settings do I need to change to get that behavior?

[@thoughtbombdesign]

What does SW do for you? When you try to measure something?

[@simcru933]

At 7:47 You have selected some faces. and get some diameters on your screen. I don't get them. What version of solidworks are you using?

This is so basic. Come on. They are not even basics. Waste of my 10 mins with 2x speed.

[@jaycrowson822]

Holy Moly! That was so great! Thank you! I learned all types of stuff from that.

[@thoughtbombdesign]

So glad it was helpful!

[@KOTR2003]

Naming features is definitely helpful for large assemblies. I am in the press and die industry and with 100s of threaded holes it is nice to know what parts are fastened using those holes.

Thank you. I am transitioning from fusion 360 to solidworks and this video gave me a lot of helpful info!

[@thoughtbombdesign]

Oh good! I have tried to model things in fusion before and I have been using Solidworks so long I just couldn't do it! 😂

[@DesignDreamer-d1q5n]

3 things I had often wished for and did not know how to use until now: Temporary Axis, Width mate to center a part in assembly, Replace parts in assembly. Thank You!

[@thoughtbombdesign]

No problem! Those are super useful ones. Have fun! 😁

[@alex1nos]

You have a view from me. Only if you are a beginner you can find something new here. Anyway..thanks for the effort
