The technological advancement and product upgrade of the enterprise will inevitably lead to the optimization of the design plan and the modification of the product structure, which will inevitably result in the modification and modification of the pattern. Corporate sustainability, product after-sales service, etc. require product drawings to be traceable. Therefore, the modified drawings and change records should be retained. Changes to the basemap of paper documents and design drawings are simple, as long as they are changed and identified, and changes to electronic documents vary depending on the software used.
The widely used AutoCAD 2D drawing software electronic document can be modified by using a new layer and copying the original pattern for marking. SolidWorks is fundamentally different from AutoCAD. The drawing drawn by AutoCAD is directly in the current template, while SolidWorks performs the 3D modeling in the design of the drawing, and then transforms the 2D drawing after determining the 3D model. Since SolidWorks software is parametric modeling, its 3D model is related to 2D engineering drawings. After the 3D model is changed, its 2D engineering drawings will change synchronously. The original 2D pattern is in 3D mode. After the change, the original graphic cannot be saved. Change records and drawings will not be found in future work, which will bring difficulties to subsequent technical management.
Since the beginning of the design and development of the product using SolidWorks 3D design software, the company has saved the changed SolidWorks pattern by using the original SolidWorks 3D drawing, 2D drawing and the assembly of the 3D drawing. In the case of opening, the SolidWorks 3D map is modified and saved as a new 3D map. The name of the map is added with the number of the change notice after the original map name, and then the corresponding 2D drawing is performed. Save, the name of the image is the same as the name of the changed 3D image, and finally save the assembly where the 3D image is located, so that the SolidWorks 3D part drawing, drawing, and assembly drawing can retain the synchronization. And consistency. However, this new way of changing has created new problems.
At least two new files (three-dimensional models of SolidWorks and corresponding drawings) must be added at least once for each change. Sometimes the changes of the new three-dimensional model will cause changes in the shape or structure of the assembly in which it is located. It is necessary to save the 3D assembly and its corresponding drawing, so that the level one level is called each other, the amount of work for each very small part will be large, and the pattern file existing in the computer will come. The more, the trouble with the management of the pattern. In order to optimize the management of the design pattern, we further studied the SolidWorks software and found that the configuration changes of the SolidWorks software can be used to save the change record of the pattern.
The SolidWorks software configuration feature can generate multiple design changes to a part or assembly model in a single file. Configuration provides an easy way to develop and manage a set of models with different sizes, components, or other parameters. You can build a configuration manually, or you can create multiple configurations at the same time using a series of parts design tables.
Solution: Click on Configuration Manager → click on Configuration → Add Configuration → Fill in the name, description and comments → OK. The new configuration is filled with the name of the Change Notice; the Description fills in the requirements for the new configuration change; and the Remarks fills in the changes made by the new configuration. After activating the newly created configuration in the Configuration Manager, you can change the characteristics of the part in the design tree (click on the design tree → right-click the feature you want to change → edit the feature or edit the sketch → double-click the value to be changed → specify the change to which it belongs) Configuration → OK). Once you have changed the configuration characteristics of a part, you can change the drawing of the part. Change the newly created workbook. For the convenience of operation, you can directly copy the original workbook and modify it (copy "Work Pattern 1" in the workbook management bar → Paste → Select placed in the selected pattern → OK → Rename Pattern 2 as " Change the number of the notice → right click on the view in the new workbook → Properties → Configuration Information → Use Named Configuration → Specify the corresponding configuration). The modification of the SolidWorks assembly drawing is the same as the modification of the part. The assembly drawing should be modified before the drawing can be modified.
