Working with sheet metal frequently, i find they have been fantastic for adding Pems.

Albert, Hi. Are you talking about the dissect functionality added to the search feature that allows you to search down to the feature level of parts? I think that’s going to be useful, but think it’s still important to have a library of commonly used features that you can use throughout an organization.

Library parts are great I was using them for O-rings long before SolidWorks shipped O-ring groves with Toolbox. With the drag and drop added in 08 it is even easier to use library parts and features.

Bruce, that’s one thing I hadn’t thought of using it for. Great idea.

I mainly use it for text or logos that get used on decals, injection molded parts, castings, etc. I’ll admit that I need to use this functionality more, for more types of features as well.

Very true Gale. It takes a little bit to set the Library Feature up sometimes, but when it’s done, it’s so much quicker. It would be interesting to see all the types of Library Features people use.

Yes I am using that for dimple grooves. I have also in library feature part several configurations with various predefined sizes…after insert I choose proper config in dialog box.
I would like use that more offen and do more shapes of features, but you know that, 100x repeat same operation when you do that!!!:)
