Re: SolidWorks Robotics Summer School

If you're absolutely sure you don't have a sticker (it's pretty hard to miss, so I'm pretty sure you don't have one ), PM "mplanchard". I'm sure she can help you out, she's awesome!

Re: SolidWorks Robotics Summer School

Yes.

From a part or assembly, Click File, Save As.

Select .STL from the drop down list of Save as Type .STL.

You can apply materials, decals and scenes in SolidWorks with PhotoWorks. Select Tools, Add Ins and then Check PhotoWorks. You can do motion animations with Animator. Select Tools, Add Ins and then Check Animator.

Re: SolidWorks Robotics Summer School

So... I got my copy of Solidworks and am really psyched to learn how to use it this summer. I am looking into getting a laptop, and really want it to be able to run Solidworks so are there any computers that would be really good at running it?

What type of ram, processor, etc. should I have beyond the min requirements to get the best results?

Would it work on a boot camped mac?

Thanks for any replies.

Re: SolidWorks Robotics Summer School

Well I have a desktop but my specs aren't great.
With a:
3.6ghz processor
1gb ram
256mb video card

I can make most models pretty well. I've been using it to build VEX robots and it's fine until I get about half of a VEX robot built and then it starts to slow down. Going into large assembly mode helps but also makes it more difficult. I don't think you would have a fun time with anything less than what I have. Hope that helps.

Re: SolidWorks Robotics Summer School

take a look at the supported video cards on the solidworks website. also the more ram and the better the graphics card the better. processor is important but not as much.
