Directional light

Solidworks 2008 : Is it possible to insert a lamp in a model and have directional light that always shines out of it (as it would from a real lamp) no matter where you move the lamp to?

 

I can add light to a model but not as above.

 

 

Thanks

go to View>Lights and Cameras>Add Direction Light(or spot light). In the Light position section there will be a "lock to model" option. I only used SW08 for about a month but i believe this is still there as long as you have the photo rendering Add-in turned on.

Tried this, it's locks the light to the assembly position not to a part in the model. Thanks anyway.

No. Neither Am I now I've tried the above. Red is a reference to my football affiliation ;-)

 

 

on another note are you a communist living in Barrowford?

or just a redhead?

 

Thanks all anyway.
