It is always amazing what you learn just from watching someone else “drive” SolidWorks.

This will be the first post in a series of awesome, amazing, tips & tricks that I learned just sitting in some of the presentations at SolidWorks World 2009 in Orlando, FL.

CONVERTING ENTITIES

Normally if you are in a sketch, pick a face of a model, and hit CONVERT, it will only grab the OUTSIDE boudary edges of that face.  What about if you want to grab any INTERNAL edges on the face ??? (i.e. edges of holes, pockets, etc.)

Well, check THIS out !    If you pick the face, AND one EDGE of any internal feature (cut, pocket, etc.), then hit CONVERT ENTITIES it will convert all of the outside and inside edges !!

Awesome !
