Creation of a new schematic design in SOLIDWORKS Electrical and checking the accuracy of design by automation.

In SOLIDWORKS ELECTRICAL, the creation of drawings has number of automations, to ensure the design is correct an option CHECK(DRC) will be useful.

STEP 1

• AS shown in the below image 
• First, create a design to check it.
• The Design Rule Check option becomes useful for identifying corrections only after completing the drawings.
• There are multiple types of Design Rule check. Will discuss those topics in below steps.

  STEP 2

DRC option

• Find the Design Rule Check option in Electrical Project -> Design Rule Check to verify the drawings.

STEP 3

DRC Management Tab

• The system will open a Design Rule Management tab.
• In a tab multiple types of options available at the ADD option as highlighted in the below image.

STEP 4

CONFIGURATION SELECTOR

• Once the above points done another selector tab opens.
• This tab will be having multiple types of checking option like wire mark missing, Open ended wires, Symbol placed manufacturer not added etc… 
• By reading description we can select the option with our requirement of checking the drawings.

STEP 5

DESIGN RULE CHECK - WIRES MARKS MISSING

• Based on the above steps, select the wire option.
• Once added from the ADD option, every option with multiple classifications will appear in the management tab.
• Likewise other check options also will be helpful to resolve the process.

STEP 6

CORRECTION NAVIGATION

• The first image illustrates that you can right-click in this tab to navigate to the wire location where correction is required.
• The second image shows the highlighted wires needing corrective actions, and the components will also be highlighted in the same way.

Summary

• With these above-mentioned points we can be able to check the drawings in an automated way in SOLIDWORKS ELECTRICAL.
• This way it plays a major role in SOLIDWORKS ELECTRICAL.

The Property Tab Builder is a stand-alone utility for  creating a customized interface for adding properties to  SOLIDWORKS Parts, Drawings, and Assemblies. 

Custom Property tab builder is an easy way to enter  information to our Parts, Assemblies and Drawings.

File Types:

You can use multiple property tab builder template for  each document type. The file extension indicates the  template type 

S.No.	Template Type	Description
1	. prtprp	Part
2	. asmprp	Assembly
3	. drwprp	Drawings
4	. wldprp	Weldment

Example of creating Property Tab Builder: 

We have to give these properties to a file. 

• Description 

• Number 

• Material 

• Weight 

• Drawn By 

• Checked By 

• Checked Date 

• Approved By 

• Finish 

• Type

Recognizing the Components :

❖Group box: To put the other items in groups, the Group  box is effectively a container. 

For example, you can place part information such as Part  Numbers, Article Numbers, and Descriptions into a  Group box and material information like Material, Finish,  and Weight into another Group box. Each Group box can  have a name. 

➢ Textbox: This object keeps text as an associated  property and allows users to enter free-form text. ➢ List: List boxes present users with a list of predefined  values that once selected will be stored as a property. ➢ Number: A number box accepts only numeric inputs  to store as a property. 

➢ Checkbox: With a checkbox you can have the user  select between two predefined values to place as a  property. 

➢ Radio: Radio buttons allow you to define a selection of  up to three predefined values that can be used to show  or hide elements in the dialog. As an example, you  might want different text boxes to show based on the  selected radio button. 

Starting the Property Tab Builder:

For this example, I am going to build a simple tab for Assembly. 

Go to the task pane on the right side of SolidWorks after creating any new file to start constructing the  property tab. The spot to establish the property tab is on the very last tab.

Select the file type as shown in Image 4.

Image 4: Select File Type

1. The left column is a list of types of properties can be used.

2. The middle column is what will be shown in  SOLIDWORKS when property tab is ready. 

3. The right column is control attributes setting Custom Properties from Property Tab Builder: The Group Box of properties in the centre column can  be expanded by double clicking on the group box and then  dragging and dropping it onto the column.

Image 5: Adding Group Box

Control Attributes: 

➢ Caption is name which appears above the text input field 

➢This name stores the actual property in the model. 

➢ Properties can be linked to the model by linking it to values.

Using the Property Tab Builder to Assign Properties:

1. Textbox 

2. List 

3. Number 

4. Radio Button 

Image 6: List

Image 7: Number

Image 8: Radio Button

Final Property Tab Builder: 

By assigning attributes to the properties. You will get final Property Box.

Image 9: Assembly Property Tab Builder

Save as to find the file location of your existing  property file: 

To use the customized version, Give the  Location of custom file to the SOLIDWORKS file  location as.

Image 10: File Location

Working in SOLIDWORKS with Property Tab Builder:

When you model a part and goes to the custom  property from task pane, you can see the customized  property builder you designed.

Image 11: Applied Properties to Assembly

Image 12: Applied Properties in Custom Property Window

In the file property dialog, try activating the drop-down menu in the property name cell. Then you can create the custom properties.

The same method we can use to Part, Drawing and Weldment templates creation also.  

Conclusion: 

Property Tab Builder lets you create your specified properties in a single window and can be share it to all users so that properties can be applied by a single click, resulting in saving design time.

In Treehouse, you can set up your assembly hierarchy in a graphical user interface before you build your models in the  SOLIDWORKS software. You can add to an existing file structure in Treehouse. 

Establishing Default Templates 

Choose a location for the templates you will use to build your assembly, and select the folder for importing and exporting assemblies and parts when you first use SOLIDWORKS Treehouse. Choose the Treehouse options button and add the places to add these spots.

Creating A Blank Assembly Structure 

Drag and drop the preferred assembly template into the main workspace to start building a blank assembly structure. Then, start adding parts and subassemblies to the structure.

You may add properties and configurations to every part, assembly, and subassembly in your construction. By hovering over the section, you need to alter and using the  "Show Document Properties" option, you can open the property editor.

You can change document properties, like the part or  assembly name, after the property editor is active. When  you export the assembly structure, you will also need to select the file location where you want that component to  export to.

However, over a part and adjust the component count to indicate how many of the same part are required in the assembly structure.

After creating the blank assembly, you can save the structure. Then, open it in SOLIDWORKS by selecting the 'Export to SOLIDWORKS' button from the toolbar.

SOLIDWORKS will then launch the Feature Manager tree and fill in the properties and structure you supplied to the assembly. This will allow you to start modeling each component.

Establishing A Preexisting Framework For File  Assembly 

You will use a similar procedure to construct an assembly  framework out of pre-existing parts. First, you will choose  from a template the top-level assembly. Drag and drop the files you want to add to your structure into the Treehouse workspace from the file explorer. Alternatively, use the 'Existing file' option under templates on the left side of the window to find the existing file.

When the structure is complete, you can select the  “Export to SOLIDWORKS” button again to launch SOLIDWORKS  with the assembly properties and structure specified

After being exported from SOLIDWORKS, an assembly  structure constructed from pre-existing parts still needs to be  properly bonded.

Configurations

Additionally, you can build several setups according to  attributes. Hover over a part and adjust the component count. This will show you how many of the same part are required in the assembly structure.

After adding the configuration, you can edit the properties in the property editor under the configuration tab.

Exporting to Microsoft Excel

Treehouse can export the structure in list form to Microsoft Excel as well. To do so you will select the “Open in Excel” button from the toolbar. This will launch Excel and present the information from your assembly structure.
