Solidworks2017 installation steps
1. First download the SolidWorks Chinese version software compression package in Huajun Software Park and decompress it, then disconnect the computer network, right-click SolidWorks.2017.Activator-SSQ, and decompress it
2. Open the unzipped folder, right-click SW.Activator and select Run as administrator
3. First click set serial numbers on the left, then select force local activation serial numbers on the right, and finally click accept serial numbers
4. After clicking Yes, continue to click OK
5. Click "Activate Licenses" on the left, confirm that the values in the Status item are all "Activate", then click "Activate Licenses", click "Yes" in the pop-up window
6. Right-click the software installation package and select Unzip. Note: Users of win7 system need to download the virtual optical drive to mount the ISO file. After mounting, click to enter the folder. The subsequent installation methods are exactly the same.
7. Right-click the setup and select Run as administrator
8 Select “Single-machine installation (on this computer)” and click “Next”
9. Let’s click “Next”
10. The software automatically detects the serial number, and click "Next" after passing it.
11. Click Change Installation Location
12. Due to the large installation file, it is not suitable to be installed on the C drive. The editor of Huajun recommends installing it on the E drive. Users can choose by themselves.
13. After setting up, click to return to the summary, check I accept the terms, and click Install Now
14. The software is being installed, please wait patiently. After the installation is complete, click the Finish button and restart the computer.
15. Continue to run SW.Activator as an administrator, click the “Copy Loaders” item, click “Copy Loaders”, and click Yes.
16. Click Activate Xpress Product, then click Activate Express Products (RUN FOR EVERY USER) on the right, and finally click Yes
17. Click the shortcut icon for sw2017 startup on the desktop, click to accept
18. After the installation of the Chinese version of solidworks2017 is completed, open the software. The interface is as follows.
Solidworks2017 FAQ
How to drag views in solidworks2017 engineering drawings?
When the cursor pointer moves to the boundary of the view, the cursor pointer changes to a shape, indicating that the view can be dragged; if the moved view is not aligned or constrained with other views, it can be dragged to any position.
If there is an alignment or constraint relationship between the view and other views, if you want to move the view arbitrarily, the steps are as follows:
1. Click the view you want to move.
2. Click the "Tools"-"Align Drawing View"-"Release Alignment Relationship" command in the menu bar.
3. Click the view and drag it to any position.
How to array parts in solidworks2017 assembly drawing?
The array is divided into two types: linear array and circular array
1. Linear Array
1. Click Linear Array on the Features toolbar.
The Linear Array PropertyManager appears with the Array Direction selection box active.
2. Under direction 1: For the array direction, click an edge in the graphics area to generate an array as a dimension line along the same direction.
3. If you need another direction 1, click Reverse so that the arrow direction in the image area faces upward.
4. Set the spacing value. This value is the distance between corresponding points on the pattern feature.
5. Set the number of instances to the number of arrays to be arrayed.
6. The array preview appears in the graphics area. Annotations will indicate direction, spacing, and instances.
7. In the same way, perform the same operation in direction 2.
8. Under Options, select Geometry Array.
9. The geometry array option can speed up the generation and reconstruction of arrays. A single instance of the feature is copied.
10. Confirm
