I cannot get this to work. It asks me if I want to add a derived part. I
renamed the folder to “Forming Tools Folder” and “Form Tools Folder” and
neither worked. I’d be happy to make the form tool a form-tool type part,
but I have not found a way (through my SW lessons) or on the internet as to
how to modify a form-tool type part. I think your video is very sneaky in
that you are hiding the file type of your form tool. Because of that, your
video provides no value to me.
+SolidWize is it possible to create a swage affect to a cylinder… like
bumping out a radius (plumbing fitting or something to that effect)?
Thanks… Great video
Good tutorial and to the point. Thanks
Please send some one email id,So that i will send my complete forming
insert inquiry which we not able to procure .10Milloin business in a year.
+SolidWize Thanks for that tip, I had issues bringing in the form tool as
well.
great Video. However, you did not save the part as a Form tool (.sldftp)
which is why Alejandra is having a problem. If you save this as a form tool
then it works perfectly!
Go into the design library folder in the task pane. Right click on the
folder where you store your forms tools and set that folder as a form tools
folder. Otherwise it thinks you’re trying to bring in another part.
That’s what I thought exactly.
That would be one way to do it, but you can also just design it with normal
features. You can’t flatten a form tool in SolidWorks, so it doesn’t really
make much of a difference.
Anyone know how to what to do about my design library not having a default
location? it gives me an error saying there is no default design library
save location. subsequently i cant pull form tools into sheet metal parts
because i have nothing in my design library
it’s so easy to use solidworks..if you know how to use it 🙂
When I drag mi forming tool into the part I want to form the following
shows: Are you trying to make a derived part? And no features of the
forming tool are available. Help please!
Is this how I would design a part that I planned on having deep drawn?
Great Video. Its not like your turning 3 steps(extrude, cuts, etc) into 1.
Your doing it how it would be made in the real world! More work 1st is less
work later as well.
Show hidden folders in window. Then go to your C: drive and find the
program data folder. Then go to solidworks>solidworks (year)>design
library. Set this as the location from “file locations” in the options.
Alternatively resetting your settings should work to.
