SOLIDWORKS 2025 What’s New in SOLIDWORKS ELECTRICAL

Learn how you can create accurate Harness Documentation using SOLIDWORKS ELECTRICAL

SOLIDWORKS Electrical Harness Design

Today electrical engineers struggle to create and maintain harness documentation. Without the tools to keep their schematics, reports and "nail board" layouts intelligently linked together, they waste substantial time and effort repeatedly inputting data and checking their documentation for accuracy. Join SOLIDWORKS ECAD expert to learn how to create accurate harness documentation quickly with no errors. Using SOLIDWORKS Electrical, our ECAD expert will guide you from schematic to layout to show that there is a better way! 

This webinar will focus on the following:

>>  Harness Schematic Creation
>>  Utilizing Layouts for Harness Layouts
>>  Using Mixed Schemes for Harness Layouts
>>  Creating Accurate and Detailed Reports

Watch here and learn how you can create accurate harness documentation.

AN OVERVIEW OF SOLIDWORKS ELECTRICAL 2018 ROUTING INTEGRATION

Taking the ambiguity out of SolidWorks Electrical 3D, the upgrade in SolidWorks Electrical 2018 Routing Integration has completely adopted the SolidWorks Routing platform.

There is another major change in SolidWorks Electrical 2018, and that is in the form of its component wizard which is now tied to the SolidWorks Routing Library Manager. This is what makes SolidWorks Electrical 2018 an all-round solution for managing your routing setup.

The question now arises where it is that you can locate this feature. To find it, simply click on SolidWorks, followed by Open a Part. Inside Open a Part you will find Tools. Click on it. Thereafter, click on Select Electrical and finally, on Electrical Component Wizard.

So, your process, in a row, would look like this:

SolidWorks > Open a part > Tools > SolidWorks Electrical > Electrical Component Wizard

Do remember to turn on the SolidWorks Electrical 3D and SolidWorks Routing add-ins.

SolidWorks Electrical 2018 is highly significant in designing parts and components. Considering that it is eminent you have a SolidWorks Electrical Schematic CAD Software. While an overview of the SolidWorksElectrical Professional can be looked up online, it is always advisable to understand this software deeply and crudely by taking up a SolidWorks Electrical 3D Training.

This will ensure you learn not only the nits and bits of the software but also its critical functionalities such as this upgrade of SolidWorks Electrical 2018 Routing Integration.

How to create Macros in SolidWorks Electrical?

Do you have an electrical drawing to use in various projects?Do you have to re-create an electrical drawing in your various projects? 
SolidWorks Electrical has a time saving functionality called "Macros". With macros you can re-use your existing electrical drawing across your various projects.
Let's take a detailed look at creating macros in SolidWorks Electrical.

Creating Macros in SolidWorks Electrical

To create a Macro, open the drawing which contains the elements you want to store in the library. In the side panel activate the Macros Tab. In the graphics zone, select the entities which you want to save and Drag and drop them into one of the sections of the palette. In this case we would create a macro and drop it under Motor Command.

 Once you drag and drop to create macro a dialogue box opens allowing you to fill in the data relating to the macro. As shown below we input the value for description.

This macro is automatically added to the macros library and will thus be available for insertion into other projects.

 In the side panel, when you right click, a pull-down menu allows you to have access to the macro palettes parameters.

Add macros: Lets you select a macro stored in the library and add it to the list of macros in the palettes.

Edit this macro: Opens the macro in the graphical interface for modification. The macro is viewed as a project. It appears in the “Documents” tab in the side panel.

Delete this macro: Delete’s the selected macro from the palette (it is not deleted from the library).

New group: Creates a new macro group.

Group properties: Accesses the selected group’s properties.

Delete group: Deletes the selected group

Activate group: Activates the group with is selected from the contextual menu.

Macros are grouped together within the Macros manager and are thus available for use by all projects. The macros have filtering criteria allowing classification. It can be accessed from Library > Macros manager as shown below.

Inserting Macro

Open the drawing in which you want to insert the macro and "Drag and Drop" the macro from the side panel into the graphic zone. When the macro is inserted, the marks management dialog box opens, allowing you to either calculate new marks or keep the existing marks.

As shown below the marks have been incremented with the inclusion of manufacturer part information. There is also new cross reference table added for new contactor coil. Since its power contacts are not yet used, they are displayed blue in the table.
