Intersection curve

You can instantly create sketch geometry where the cross-section of a face, body, or entire model intersects a sketch plane with intersection curve. You can also use intersection curve to create 3D sketch curves from the intersection of faces, bodies, and models.

An easy way to create a sketch at the intersection of two surfaces is by using the Intersection Curve tool. This SolidWorks video tutorial shows the basics for using the tool, and gives a few tips, as well.
You can extract iso-parametric (UV) curves from a face or surface. Applications of this functionality include extracting the curves for imported surfaces and then performing localized cleanup using the face curves.

You can specify a mesh of evenly spaced curves or a position that creates two orthogonal curves.
Each curve created by this process becomes a separate 3D sketch. However, if you are editing a 3D sketch when you invoke the Face Curves tool, all extracted curves are added to the active 3D sketch.

To extract iso-parametric curves:

Click Face Curves (Sketch toolbar) or Tools, Sketch Tools, Face Curves, then select a face or surface.

Select a face or surface, then click Face Curves or Tools, Sketch Tools, Face Curves.

A preview of the curves appears on the face. The curves are one color in one direction and another color in the other direction. The colors correspond to the colors in the Face Curves PropertyManager. The name of the face appears in the Face box.

Under Selections, choose either:

Mesh - evenly spaced curves. Specify an integer number of curves for Direction 1 Number of Curves and Direction 2 Number of Curves .

Position - the intersection of two orthogonal curves. Drag the position in the graphics area or specify the percentage distance from the bottom for Direction 1 Number of Curves and from the right for Direction 2 Number of Curves .

Direction 1 Number of Curves or Direction 2 Number of Curves . Clear if the curve is not required.

Position Vertex . Select a vertex or point to specify the intersection of the two curves.

Assemblies in solidworks tip

Assemblies in solidworks tip

SolidWorks provides you with several ways to view which mates are associated to a component.

The most general way is to place your cursor over the top icon in the assembly FeatureManager, and right-mouse-click. Choose the option Tree Display – View Mates and Dependencies. This will place the FeatureManager in a mode where all the mates are grouped beneath their components. To return to the default display mode, right-click again at the top icon, and select Tree Display – View Features.

SolidWorks 2000 added a new assembly function to make mate searches even more convenient. Right-click over any component, and select View Mates. This invokes a split-screen display of the FeatureManager, and fills the lower half with the list of mates affecting that component. Starting with SolidWorks 2007, this command also shows callouts in the graphics window to illustrate the associated mates.

SolidWorks 2004 added folders on the FeatureManager for the mates attached to each component. Expand any part or subassembly in the assembly FeatureManager and you will find a "Mates in <assembly name>" folder directly beneath the icon for the part or subassembly. Expand the tree for that folder and you will see a short list of the mates of the parent assembly which involve that particular component.

What is the Best Way to Create a New Copy of an Existing Assembly, as Well as its Parts (Some of Which Have In-Context Features), and the Assembly Drawing?

This is often desired if you have a new design that is a modification of an old design, but you would like to manage and modify the new design separately. The easiest way is to use the Pack and Go command added in SolidWorks 2007 (see below). Here is an older method that also works:
