Swept Sketch

This SOLIDWORKS add-in allows to create collection of swept solid bodies based on the input sketch (2D or 3D). This is a proposed solution for the 30th SOLIDWORKS Power-User Challenge.

Video Demonstration

Installation

Download the add-in SweepSketch.zip file here. Unzip the archive. Tun register.cmd file to install the add-in (you might need to run this as administrator). Use unregister.cmd to uninstall the add-in.

Add-in adds new command to menu, toolbar and command tab box called Tools->Geometry+->Insert Sweep Sketch

Add-in is implemented using macro features. Model can be saved and reopened and feature will behave as normal.

Inserting

Once command is clicked Property Manager Page is displayed. Select input sketch or sketches (2D and 3D sketches are supported) and specify the diameter value to generate the model. Preview is updated dynamically

Editing

Parameters of the feature can be modified at any time, similar to standard feature of SOLIDWORKS

Radius of the circular profile can be changed by modifying the corresponding dimension.

Parametric Sketch

Feature preserves parametric behavior and will automatically updated once the original sketch changes.

Cut-List Length Property

Insert weldment into the model and set the corresponding check box in the property manager page to output LENGTH property for each segment into the corresponding cut-list.
