Solidworks 2014 Serial Number 16
Laurice Whack
When you purchase a license of SOLIDWORKS, you are provided a 24-digit alphanumeric serial number. (Older license/serial numbers used sixteen digits). You will use this number to activate your license of SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS add-ins (e.g., Simulation, Composer, Inspection, etc.) installed on your computer.
9020: SOLIDWORKS Student Licenses (also called Student Engineering Kits (SEK)) are standalone licenses that students can install and use when not connected to their Network License Server. SEK numbers are available, one for every Educational network license (9710) on subscription.
Once you are provided with your temporary license number, the clock starts on your trial period. So, if you have a 14-day trial of SOLIDWORKS, activate your license immediately to get the most out of your trial period.
While these license numbers do not show you what product you have (SOLIDWORKS Premium/Professional/Standard, or Composer/Inspection/Simulation), the first four digits will help you determine the type of license you have and how it should be installed and activated.
We recently received questions about how to adjust the spacing between a SOLIDWORKS drawing note bullet or number and the associated text. The problem is shown in the following image. This becomes even more annoying if there is a very limited space to fit the notes in the drawing sheet.
By double-clicking on the text, a Formatting toolbar pops up. In this toolbar, the font type and size can be set and also the alignment for the text. In addition, bullets or numbering, and also indent properties can be assigned to the text. These settings are essentially the same as the ones you will find in Microsoft Word.
To learn more about adjusting the SOLIDWORKS Drawing Note bullet and number properties you should plan to attend our SOLIDWORKS Drawings training course either live online or in a Canadian city near you.
A common request from technical support is for SOLIDWORKS users to provide their SOLIDWORKS serial number along with which version and service pack they are running. Below are the various methods for locating that information quickly.
Funny thing is if I rename the Solidworks part file in the workspace to a different file name and then rename it back to the original file name. The drawing is then allowed to be created with the same part number as the part file.
If you also keep filename and number the same you can easy see the "number" in solidworks and also use it to show the number in the drawing - with solidworks function to show filename without extension.
Running this code will successfully add the files to the vault. However, every added file now has a different serial number for each configuration (including the "@" and "default" configurations). When I create a new file directly in the vault, it's set up to have every configuration automatically share one serial number. Why is it different in this scenario? Any way to have these added files mimic regular ones and share one serial number across all configurations?
Why does the balloon numbering not respect the bill of materials (BOM) item numbers?
This can occur for drawings where multiple bills of materials (BOM) were previously inserted or are inserted.
Why does a balloon attached to a general view get a number not listed in the bill of materials?
When attaching a balloon to a component in a view (different from the view used to create the bill of materials), the balloon automatically gets the number, following the FeatureManager tree of the configuration specified in the view.
Why are the balloons in a drawing not following the Bill of Materials (BOM) numbering?
The balloons in a drawing may not be following the Bill of Materials if the drawing view is not linked to the BOM. Therefore, the balloon numbers are defaulting to assembly order.
Close range, image based photogrammetry and LIDAR laser scanning technique are commonly utilized methodologies to snap real objects.3D models of already existing model or parts can be reconstructed by laser scanning and photogrammetry. These 3D models can be useful in applications like quality inspection, reverse engineering. With these techniques, they have their merits and limitations. Though laser scanners have higher accuracy, they require higher initial investment. Close-range photogrammetry is known for its simplicity, versatility and effective detection of complex surfaces and 3D measurement of parts. But photogrammetry techniques can be initiated with comparatively much lower initial cost with acceptable accuracy. Currently, many industries are using photogrammetry for reverse engineering, quality inspection purposes. But, for photogrammetric object reconstruction, they are using different softwares. Industrial researchers are using commercial/open source codes for reconstruction and another stand-alone software for reverse engineering and mesh deviation analysis. So the problem statement here for this thesis is to integrate Photogrammetry, reverse engineering and deviation analysis to make one state-of-the-art workflow. The objectives of this thesis are as follows: 1. Comparative study between available source codes and identify suitable and stable code for integration; understand the photogrammetry methodology of that particular code. 2. To create a taskpane add-in using API for Integration of selected photogrammetry methodology and facilitate methodology with parameters. 3. To demonstrate the photogrammetric workflow followed by a reverse engineering case studies to showcase the potential of integration. 4. Parametric study for number of images vs accuracy. 5. Comparison of Scan results, photogrammetry results with actual CAD data. In this thesis, only open source code photogrammetry tools have been studied. Photogrammetric results obtained in the form of point cloud from these tools were compared to ideal point cloud from laser scanning tool. This was done using CloudCompare function. Once the best possible code for integrated is identified, its methodology was injected in SOLIDWORKS CAD tool. SOLIDWORKS tool provides functions like mesh cleanup(Pre-processing), reverse engineering and mesh-CAD deviation analysis. After integration has been done with API programming using CSharp, this workflow was tested with case studies for accuracy of results with actual 3D models. These CAD models were firstly converted to surface mesh and compared with mesh comparison function. The case studies presented in this report shows that scan mesh and photogrammetry mesh have relative accuracy of within 2 mm for a object of size ( 150 to 300 mm). The parametric study presented suggests that higher number of images increases accuracy of the reconstructed model. After comparison of CAD data, photogrammetry and scan results it can be inferred that photogrammetry can replace laser scanners if allowed tolerances are little higher. Hence this thesis, successfully presents reverse engineering function through photogrammetry in an integrated environment.
