Store your scribble and notes in Solidworks

You can say that the design binder is like one of those old metal filling cabinets, but before we are going into detail, lets make sure it is turned on.

Go to Options=>System Options=>Feature Manager and set the drop down menu next to “Design binder” to “Show”. This should make the Design binder visible at the top of the feature manager tree.


The Journal is customizable, mine is located

C:\Program Files\Solidworks\lang\english=>journal.doc

Mastercam do not currently offer anything like this, however there is a company named Verisurf that have made a free add on that lets you store notes inside a file in style with “notepad” it can be downloaded from emastercam.com if you register (You have to provide Sim number to join).
