Creating Dynamic Connection Labels – SOLIDWORKS Electrical My story with connection labels began almost immediately after my introduction to SOLIDWORKS Electrical, and to be honest, it was love at first sight. The concept of a symbol that dynamically updated all my pin-by-pin wiring information and could go on ANY drawing type was life-changing. As wiring changes and connections took place, the label reflected those changes. This feature proved fantastic and light years ahead of typing out all that information in text boxes or spreadsheets! Beyond its primary function, I also discovered several other uses, some of which I go into greater detail here. Custom Labels for Efficient Design As I dug into creating my own custom labels, I realized that setting them up could be time-consuming, especially considering my current record being a 156-pin label containing 6 variables PER PIN. This first-hand experience turned into Enhancement Requests, some of which came to life quickly and greatly helped speed up the creation process. One notable improvement is the ability to “index” the attributes on a line, making it much easier to change the line-by-line info and reduce the time required to construct the labels. Enhancement Request Automating Label Creation The ultimate request was for these labels to be drawn automatically instead of needing to build the library of symbols...

Five Reasons GSC Should Upgrade Your PDM Upgrading SOLIDWORKS PDM, at least annually, should not be considered optional. Nevertheless, a few reasons compel people to defer the undertaking to the future. One reason is saving money, which is a myth. Since 2016, renewing lapsed subscriptions includes the cost of all “skipped” major releases of the software. The overall cost is the same as upgrading annually but comes due all at once in the Nth year. Another reason is that you may feel it’s not worth the effort because you don’t “need” the new features rolled out with the release. However, admins and users will benefit from the improvements to performance and reliability that are rolled out with them (and probably the new features, too). If not for those reasons, the time and complexity involved in the upgrade are usually blamed for putting it off. Veteran PDM administrators are familiar with arduous off-hours upgrades, accompanied by the angst of fearing a misstep that can push downtime into valuable production hours. We grade ourselves on our customers’ success, so we absolutely want you to be running the latest and greatest version of SOLIDWORKS PDM at all times. We also want those upgrades to go smoothly. So, if you are considering postponing your upgrade for any of the above reasons or are leery of performing the red-eye work, please lean on us to take on the task instead. ...

Transforming Robotic End of Arm Tooling with 3D Printing The use of 3D printing for making robotic end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) is a significant advancement in manufacturing. These components are crucial for industrial automation as they help robots boost factory production. Understanding Robotic End Effectors: Robotic EOAT, often referred to as robot grippers or robotic hands, are the mechanisms attached to the end of robotic arms. Their primary function is manipulating and interacting with objects, mirroring human hand movements. These end effectors are the link between the robotic system and the materials or products it handles. From picking and placing items to assembly and welding, the capabilities of robotic end effectors are diverse and play a crucial role in streamlining production processes. Why 3D Print Robotic EOAT? The emergence of 3D printing technology has changed manufacturing, offering unprecedented possibilities for customization, speed, and cost-efficiency. Here’s why incorporating 3D-printed robotic EOAT can be a game-changer for companies: 1. Design Freedom and Customization Traditional manufacturing methods often impose design limitations due to the constraints of machining or molding processes. 3D printing, on the other hand, allows for intricate and complex geometries that can be tailored to the application’s specific requirements.....
