Is this the #SOLIDWORKS Tech Tip of the year? What do you think? 🙂
A student asked a simple question in one of our Surface Modeling classes: "How do you convert a spline to lines?"
The resulted tech tip solves several long-standing challenges in SOLIDWORKS—without relying on macros:
✅ Parametrically convert any entity or chain of sketch entities into linear segments, with full control over deviation from the original curve.
✅ Offset complex sketches with virtually no limitations on the offset value.
✅ Robust updates that adapt seamlessly, even after major revisions to the original geometry.
This is a game-changer for anyone working with advanced sketching and design workflows in SOLIDWORKS. 💡
