Good morning to all, I am new in the use of the solidworks program. are the research of a command that allows to automatically scale all the features of the model tree therefore, consequently, the individual sketches. know of the existence of the "scale" command present in the path [Inserisci>Funzione>Scala] but this command allows to scale, setting a relationship, the whole model but the features remain the original ones made at the time of modeling.
Can anyone help me?
thank you very much for the support
 
You can't. you should scale every single sketch with all the problems that arise
 
ok thank you so much, I was looking for this command as on creo there is this function that turns out to be very convenient when you have the need to create new geometrically equal models but having different sizes reproposable with a scale ratio.
 
really with sw scales all simultaneously,with different methods of choice
 
motocad, thank you very much for the support. the table function looks exactly what I was looking for, I try to use it and if you have any other doubts I write to you. Thanks again
 
your initial question asked for another thing and that is to scale the functions and consequently to this sketch.
the method proposed by motocad, which is at the base of the parameterization, instead makes to change the sketches (attention, not the steps but modifies them in order to have a model proportionally different) and consequently the features.
instead of roasting on these issues I suggest you don't relate to other software and do tutorials
 
massivonweizen, for now the one proposed by motocad seems to do to my case, I have to test it. I really need to act on changing the sketch. Now I have to understand if this feature also works on the commands like ray, bevel etc... but if you have any tutorials to recommend and I'd be grateful to you. Hi.
 
the data table works on all odds.
the internal tutorials to the program are enough to learn the basics of modeling
 
the data table makes sense if you have to make configurations of a proven model, otherwise it is better to change each sketch starting from the first of the featuee manager
 
Good evening, to all
Does anyone know whether or not the scale and parameterizable command compared to a quota? ? ?
in particular I would need the factor of scale x a surface: (ø of departure of my object/100)+0.02
 
Massivonweizen, thanks in very late reply
Unfortunately I had time to verify it only now that I am in vacation and I have time to turn off a little bit
I tried to follow the method indicated in the thread but I can't reach the scale command from with a function....according to you can there be difference between a standard version and a premium?? ?
 
I tried to follow the method indicated in the thread but I can't reach the scale command from with a function.
I don't understand what it means I can't reach; do you explain it better, please?

I just tried and had no problem and I can guarantee that being a normal function does not depend on the software version.
explains what steps you've done, otherwise how do you figure out where you're wrong?
Did you do the scale function?
created the data table?
 
So, banging our head a little bit, I came to the result I wanted
This is what happened to me: I created the surface, climbed it, and then made the table... only that when I created the table did not allow me to insert the three factors of scale, then I found that returning in it gave me the possibility to select the three axes to scale in the table excell
then did not let me enter a simple function =b4+b5
to overcome this scoglio I had to make copy and paste into the table of the various items I have to take into account, close the table and reopen it...only so it lets me insert the functions in the scale commands
I don't understand why, but it's okay, because I finally got where I wanted to go.

the last problem I have now is that if I change the values do not update the excell sheet.. .but if I go inside, after 2 seconds they update and consequently also drawing
And here I am:
 
first of all how do you create the table?
if you do enter>tabella data>automatic you don't have to do almost anything because soilidworks automatically inserts parameterized values (quotes, variables, suspension functions....)
a piece of the sheet that is created is that it behaves as if all cells were in text mode (it always checked the setting mode of the excel cell to avoid unnecessary spelling) and therefore it is not always enough to write the formula but you have to enter the command line and give sending.
'last problem I have now is that if I change the values do not update the excell sheet.
really the thing should work in reverse mode and that you change the values in excel and the model updates, otherwise the data table does not serve a patch.

as your many colleagues give explanations as if you were next to you and you could see the operations you do, and instead not.
first of all explains the steps well using correct and complete terms (surface is an entity while the solid is another and it is not said to behave the same way; Data table shows a specific table, table can be anything; talk about drawing but you probably mean part model...) because to understand where you are wrong you must first understand exactly what is done.
add pictures if needed

I now write to you what I did (excluding formulas in excel, but I have already used in other cases and have always worked)
1 stop the solid (input> functions> scale) deactivating uniform scale from function options
2 in the configuration tab create a new configuration proof3 I create the data table (inserted) by setting automatic creation4 opens an excel screen, within solidworks, where the two configurations appear (default e proof) with columns of variables in the model including three axes of the scale function
5 click on the graphics area of solidworks to close table
6 in the configuration tab I make right button on the table and choose change table in a new window7 select the cell of a variable and count which is in text format; select all cells with values and impose the format as general; I make a formula to verify its functionality and then restore the previous value
8 I insert a new line thus creating a new configuration; randomly fill the values cells
9 closing excel
10 I notice that a new configuration has been created
11 activates the new configuration and condition that changes according to the values set in excel

This is how to explain a procedure
 
I'm gonna need a lesson for the next few times

Now I try to explain myself better:
- start from a set (new->assieme)
- I create a 3d base oval sketch + height and quot (a=width b=depth c=height)
- I create a new part in the axieme (insert, new part), seleziono creates 3d sketch and with the command converts entities select the 3d sketch I had done in the axieme... once done before leaving the quot even if being linked to an already bound geometry I will be able to enter only guided quotas

the purpose of all this is to create n parts that change all according to the 3d sketch of departure made together...but it is obvious to say

Now in the specific I open the part that I created in the axieme and I begin to work until I reach the surface that I need to climb; I do nothing special, extrusions, cuts and gate faces and finally use the scale command

I now create my data table (inserted) automatic creation by selecting fields to be imported into excell that are (the "b" quota that refers to the sketch together and the 3 scale factors)
now imposed the 3 scale values as function "b"+2
click in the graphic area to exit from excell

back in the starting aid, I change the famous quota "b" but he does not update the part correctly;
in particular correctly modify all other functions except the scale function
but if I go into configurations and change data table, during table opening the data will be updated and the part is scaled correctly
by testing the process even if it is not the correct way to use the data table...in this case I do not understand why I respond to these problems during the update
 
incorrect courier: tests do not work a patch... only once the excell table is opened, the data is updated and the thing works
but if you do not pass for updating the data table we are at cards and forty-eight

Let's start with this.
Why create a sketch in the environment together and then transport it in part environment? is it because to make a 3d sketch of a flat entity?
Do you have an oval? do it directly as 2d sketch in the part and then use configurations

these (useless?) passages are the problem of reconstruction, because it is elements with external references the update finds difficulties. It is already seen and discussed.
but if you do not pass for updating the data table we are at cards and forty-eight
I think you're using the data table wrongly.
the data table is used to insert the data, not to change them after writing them in solid.
is a closed container that solidworks only accepts if you open it.
to understand, if you add a configuration or a property or a function the data table updates and creates a new configuration, a new column for the property or for the function only if you open it.
 
among other things if the b quota that import in the data table is piloted you do nothing because being referred to another file you can not change it in the part, but you have to change it only in the file from which it comes
