Hi Guys, Getting on with my suspension layout using Blocks. In the tutorial it mentions “Link to File”, not overly informative, so I thought I would post on here. After I have made the sketch, saved it, made Block and saved that too….. Then applied the block into my layout sketch… now when I want to adjust a dimension, I’m just editing the block there and then, but in my mind it should be linked back to the original sketch so that is updated to.. am i right???? is that the correct way to do it??? guidance will be very much appreciated… thanks. PS, once I’ve got this last bit sussed i’ll post the model up here for veiwing…… should be a laugh anyway

Hi Guys, I’m trying to design new front suspension for my trophy truck off road racer. I can do most of it on paper but thats not the point of learning solidworks…… is it?? I know what I want to acheive.. its just i don’t know how to utilise SW. I’ve attached the prelim layout sketch of the left half of the suspension, i wish to be able to grab hold of the input shaft and cycle it left and right to see what happens to the rest i e where the wheel bolts on….. but i’m pulling my hair out cos I don’t know how to do it?? your help and guidance would be fantastic…. thank you. 43 year old student of SW, spinal injury who goes racing off road

ok, there is probably several ways, but what is the right way to stop a bolt etc. rotating in a hole?
I have some shaped tubes that need to be locked in a particular rotational position…

In SolidWorks 05 or 07 could you select faces of parts in an assembly then right click and ‘form new sub-assembly’? in 09 it only shows up when you select parts in the FeatureManager.
