Damn. You're a genius Scott. Praise Pechanga!

@SPRSC15 Thanks a lot! I actually learned this from SolidWorks conference a few years ago. Its just another way of doing it that kind of opens your mind to all the diff possibilities of the program. There is never just one way to do something in SolidWorks.

is there a linux version?

[stekengineering]

@JGeiger15 Not that i know of. I would go with Windows 7 64-bit

Thanks for the tutorial. Please try not to zoom in and out too much. I need to see what tools you are selection as well as where they are.

Thanks

Scott

@neatpleats Hey sorry about, the screen capture program i use does that automatically, but i disabled it, all my newer videos do not have that.

-Thanks for the input.

I wrote a macro to do this. Solidworks doesn't have the feature like Pro/E, so I made my own.

I found this fantastic book, and wanted to share it with you. SolidWorks 2011 Book Beginning to Advanced SolidWorks 2011 Modeling, Drafting and Assemblies from Machined Parts to Bl objects has been written by engineers for engineers. Based on many years of teaching folks all over the globe how to make more effective use of their CAD tools, we have placed the overwhelming emphasis in this book on exercises. This book teaches users how to be fluent with the tool. Visit solidworksbook[.]com/

@JGeiger15 Solidworks 2010 works fine on linux.

I now made a cotter pin thanks to you!

I understand that he wanted demonstrate there are other ways to do things in SW but this is (by far) the most inefficient way of creating this sort of part. Sweeps ARE the only efficient way of doing this. With sweeps, subsequent changes are far easier than what this lad is trying to demonstrate here. The comment he makes about utilising planes to mirror parts rather than face geometry is a very good point though. Ignore everything else he says but remember that.
