Once positioned click the “next” arrow to begin tracing your image.Ĭhoose one of the four tracing tools (rectangular, free hand, polygonal, colour).

Use the “properties” controls to scale and position the image on the sketch plane as required. For this example we will use a simple panda image Tick the check box next to “Autotrace” (if this feature is something you might use regularly, you can also check the box to the right which will activate the Autotrace add-in on start-up).įrom within a sketch, use the “sketch picture” command (tools>sketch tools>sketch picture) to insert an image into the sketch environment. To activate the Autotrace functionality within SOLIDWORKS go to tools>add-ins. This can be a great way to quickly replicate a logo or organic shape. The Autotrace feature within SOLIDWORKS allows you too quickly and easily create complex sketches from an imported image which can subsequently be used in features such as extrudes and sweeps or exported as DXF/DWG files.

Next step for the team: participate in the European competition “ Shell Eco-marathon” in London.įollow the achievements of the Rib'Car’s designers during the EducEco challenge by visiting their blog.Autotrace feature will work here upto an extent: They are in Valenciennes (France) from 2017 May 19th to 21st to try to get one of the awards for best performances and innovations. Today, Rib’Car is ready to go, and is able to reach a speed of 40 km/h while consuming a few dozen of Wh/km (against hundreds for a standard car)! They were thus able to benefit from Datakit expertise to convert their files with the CATIA V5 files import plug-in for SOLIDWORKS. Indeed, they were working with SOLIDWORKS software, but needed files coming from CATIA V5, which SOLIWORKS was not able to read. Interested in the project, Datakit helped the students during the vehicle design phase.

Rib’Car, the efficient vehicle designed by students of Arnaut Daniel high school, with the help of Datakit Students supported by Datakit are competing with the “Rib’Car”: The electric car they designed throughout their school year. Students from Arnaut Daniel high school (Ribérac, France), are competing from today for the EducEco challenge: A competition which aims to design an innovative vehicle to travel as many kilometers as possible with minimum energy consumption.
