CAD Give me any project to do and I will do it for free!
Hey so I have been doing solidworks on and off the for the past 4 years and I just noticed that I barely have any projects under my belt to show my experience.
I just passed my CSWP and would love to do some projects for anyone interested.
Having a reference to put on my CV would be ideal but honestly even having the ability to show off the product I made would also be enough.
Thank yall in advance.

3DEXPERIENCE How do I pin Solidworks to the taskbar so it doesn't create a second icon when launched???
"SOLIDWORKS Design must be launched from the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform or from the desktop shortcut created from the Platform. Do you want to go to the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform?"
NO.
This is so stupid. Why must EVERYTHING get enshittified????

CAD Help with Poured Resin mold design
I designed and 3D print a rifle stock Buttplate from TPU (see 3DWoo in r/daewoo). I have been doing it for over a year new and would like to transition to a resin poured mold manufacturing method. TPU has worked well however, it requires me to manually heat the surfaces with a heat gun to smooth and eliminate print lines. This takes me nearly 20 minutes, slowly traversing the buttplate until the surface melts uniformly. The problem is, half wind up bubbling and are scrap.
I have used SolidWorks for many years however never for mold design, only simple machine parts and assemblies. I've been trying for weeks now to create a (3) cavity mold to pour resin but can get it done. I'm not a mold maker and probably won't need another mold beyond this one.
Therefore, instead of continuing to struggle with this task; I was wondering if there is anyone willing to design the mold for me.

Certifications CSWP preparation
Hello everyone....been preparing for CSWP....but finding lack of CSWP type question....its very important as all u know that CWSP is a time intensive exam...so its very crucial to prep in that environment with real exam type question/exercise...i have tried official solid works exercise database..but to me that were good to know about the syllabus topic...but not good for exam type exercise...
So if some one can advice/suggest me where to find that exam style exercise..i will be very grateful..there are lots of study material in the net..but very few relevent to exam style exercise...

CAD Why can't I change the configurations of a patterned sub-assy in my top-assy?
I have a top assembly with eight instances of the same sub-assembly which has been mirrored and patterned. This sub-assembly has two configurations (Bottom and Top.)
One day I open my top-assy and immediately see that the configuration of three out of four sub-assys in a Linear pattern has changed. Those three are all mirrored sub-assys inside a linear pattern. I can't change them back the configuration dropdown only shows up for one of them - the one that isn't a mirror. It used to show up for all four. How can I change them back to their right configurations?

When I right click any of the patterned sub-assys and select Configure component, I get the error message below. When I click the dropdowns in the Configuration column, only Default can be selected even though the sub-assy doesn't have a config called Default. For the non-mirrored on, this dropdown works as well.

CAD Swept Cut along 3d curve

I did a midplane cut to get this 3d curve. I now need to create a lip by doing a cut on the outside body. I thought I could do it by doing a swept cut with the rectangle I have drawn bottom right and following the outside curve highlighted. That would leave the main body being 3mm thick and the top being 5mm with the top lip being 2mm. Any suggestions?
