How The "Direct Editing" Tab Can Help You in SOLIDWORKS - Computer Aided Technology
Summary
This might seem scary to SolidWorks users as creating changes without a FeatureManager Design Tree can be intimidating. The SolidWorks Direct Editing tab includes many tools that allow you to make changes to parts without modifying the existing sketches and features. What is also great about this tool, as well as the other 3 I will mention, is that a feature gets added to the tree and can be easily deleted or suppressed if I do not like the change. More recently, this feature came in handy when a customer needed to shorten the length of his main extrude without changing the placement of his hole patterns. We understand that many companies have had to adjust their plans for attending industry trade-shows and events in the wake of COVID-19 and we are here to help offset the impact.
