tree ordering

[ma60rco]

Good morning to all:

are novice of sw 2010 coming from inventor.

I would have some questions to ask who would answer me:

1) the most banal: there is a command or a macro sw per
order parts in featuremanagerdi a set?

2) In inventor there are parameters; I saw that in sw they exist
the equations but I cannot associate an equation with a processing
but only to sketch elements.
Let me explain better with a very simple example: Washer.ipt

(the .ipt extension matches the .sldprt extension)

with inventor, I can create a part (rondella.ipt) in which I establish
very simply 3 parameters: for example

d1 = internal
d2 = outer ø
d3 = thickness

to these 3 parameters check the default values.

every time I want a washer, all I have to do is open
the washer.ipt file and simply and very quickly change
the 3 values d1 d2 d3.

of course this example is banal, but you can create parts
also of a certain complexity and with all processing (also
ø and depth of holes for example).

I tried to do the same thing with sw equations, but I couldn't
to assign a value that defines (to return to the banal example of
Washer) thickness of the same.

in the sense that I assigned 2 parameters to ø int and ø est in the sketch,
but it does not allow me to assign values to the thickness of the extrusion.

Someone could give me some tips.. ?

Thank you for your attention.

p.s. I'll ask you again with questions that someone might
seem trivial, but coming from another software, I can't
to do things that I gave for granted, and probably unaware
the utility of some features that are present in sw and are missing in inventor.

of course, it is not my intention to propose the old and sterile
discussion about which software is best

Hi, I'll answer you as best I can:

a) I do not know if there is a macro or some comoando with swexplorer but I do it by hand dragging them with the mouse according to the order I want

b) to parameterize a part you have to proceed like this: create your model, then go on insert - data table, make automatic creation and sw find you all the size you used to create the part, choose the ones that need to be parameterized and do ok.vai then on configuration you will appear the tabellina of newly created excel and the list of created configurations. to add configurations and new size through the excel table insert the data

I hope I've been clear

1) control display togetherhttp://help.solidworks.com/2011/ita...e/assemblies/hidd_visualization_tool_help.htm2) in solidworks could be a template like in office with already shaped the washer and you just have to change values in global variables.
clearly being a template, from that generates different washers.
If you want something else, explain that there is also the solution for that.

Thank you for your suggestions:

Data table is exactly what I was looking for.
for the tree order instead, view together order the tree
but only temporarily and it is therefore not possible to intervene on the tree itself,
for example to group in one group the unified.

It would take a macro. .

thanks anyway for the availability to romy and soliduser.

1) for sorting in the feature manager of the assemblies in order of the file name, it does not seem possible, as it is chronological.

2) to group the unified, you can put them in a folder in the fm
