The same shape can be edited to create the other slotting card piece. Once decals are applied to both sides of the card, I can save it as Mother’s Day card 1, but keep the part open. You can see below when I apply the mask, the black background of the PNG file becomes transparent. PNG files are good to use if you want to apply something like a sticker into SOLIDWORKS as you can see the parts appearance or color around the transparent parts of your image. My decals were exported as PNG files so that the background can be removed, to remove the black mask around the PNG image, select the use decal image alpha channel. I worked on one card part at a time, but use the same model to create both, using save as with similar models can save you so much time.īefore I applied my decals, I applied the solid white appearance to the parts body, this appearance is simple, but it was then edited further within SOLIDWORKS VISUALIZE. I then created a thin cut extrude halfway up the center of the card to act as a slotting feature for standing the 3D card up.

I extruded my card piece 1 to 0.5mm which works out at 350gsm in card thickness. You could fully define your sketch if you wish, but this may be complex, messy and time consuming, instead sometimes I just lock the sketch or leave it under defined, especially for such a simple model which I will only be extruding. Then, while in SOLIDWORKS I can select a plane, insert, DXF/DWG and browse for my custom DXF file and open it up into SOLIDWORKS, you should always double check the import dimensions when importing your DXF files, the DXF file will come in as a sketch.

The shape of the card profile was designed in vector software first, and exported in millimeters as a DXF file. When designing vectors, I only need to worry about overall dimensions rather than fully defining every shape. I use DXF files a lot, especially when designing something detailed, or something I have designed in vector software first.
