The book provides a solid foundation in SolidWorks by utilizing projects with step-by-step instructions for the beginning to intermediate SolidWorks user. In the end, like so many things, I guess I'll just have to do it myself to get what I want. Engineering Design with SolidWorks 2012 is written to assist students, designers, engineers and professionals. Their web site really sucks so I was hoping someone who actually used it could clarify. I don't object to a fee but their ala cart pricing looks like I could drop a couple hundred bucks and not really be sure I would get what I want. They also mention yet another price for "licensed" catalogs. Their Solidworks product is $1200 which is too steep for me.

They claim a million free parts but the ones I tried all said they were licensed and required a fee. I know it's not tough, just mind numbing and, I thought, unnecessary. considering SolidWorks is made by Dassult, a major aerospace firm. I just couldn't believe that aerospace/Mil-spec hardware was not easily available. If you changed the toolbox installation to match the year of installation, be sure to choose that toolbox location. If there are multiple toolboxes, they will be numbered. Change the directory so that it matches the directory shown.

RE: Aerospace fastener Toolbox library ctopher (Mechanical) 22 Feb 08 12:25 SOLIDWORKS, by default, will install a toolbox atFor background, I'm a rusty AAE, a rookie with SolidWorks, currently using 2006 and upgrading to 2008 as soon as I get the time. (Well, everyone has dreams of selling kits but I try to stay realistic.) They have the ability to buy just selected components but it's not clear to me if they integrate with the Toolbox or how their insertion program works (they said it's based on SW2003).ĭoes anyone have experience with Traceparts? Are there any other sources of AN/MS/NAS/NASM part libraries? I'm looking for the basic nuts, bolts, washers, screws, rivets, clevis pins, hose fittings, clamps, etc. That's pretty steep for a one-man gang and a one-off hobby project. I found Traceparts at http:/ /users/tpdv d_aero_sta ndards.asp which appears to have all I'd need but the SolidWorks price is $1200. I'm looking for a toolbox library of aerospace fasteners, fittings and misc parts for use in the design of an experimental aircraft.
