Assembly methods in Solidworks Design

Assembly is the process of combining or assembling several parts in a certain relationship. An assembly is a combination of two or more parts, also called components, in one SOLIDWORKS document. We can position and orient components using pairs that form connections between components. Very easy process. There are 2 assembly methods in Solidworks: 1. Part coordinate system method. 2. Part Method Part coordinate system method Click the new icon and part icon to create a new image. 2Click and create a part image. Then save and name the file part1. Create a new part and then create a new plane that is 30 mm apart. Then save and name the file part 2. After the above process is complete, we enter the stage for assembling part 1 and part 2. Here are the steps: Click the New icon and click the assembly icon. In the menu bar select windows, tile horizontally. So a horizontal tile window will appear Click the 2D Sketch icon so that origin will be active in windows assembly. Click on the text pa...

Cross-Reference SolidWorks

Drawing templates and formats are complex enough that I cover them in a separate chapter. Chapter 20 discusses
the differences between templates and formats, and how to use them to your advantage. This chapter
addresses part and assembly templates. n
Depending on your needs, it might be reasonable to have templates for metric and inch part and
assembly, templates for steel and aluminum, and templates for sheet metal parts and for weldments,
if you design these types of parts. If your firm has different customers with different requirements,
you might consider using separate templates for each customer. Over time, you will discover the
types of templates you need, because you will find yourself making the same changes repeatedly.
To create a template, open a document of the appropriate type (part or assembly), and make the
settings you want the template to have; for example, units are one of the most common reasons to
make a separate template, though any Document Property setting is fair game for a template, from
the dimensioning standard used to the image quality settings.
Some document specific settings do not appear in the Document Properties dialog box. Still, these
settings are saved with the template. Settings that fall into this category are the View menu entity
type visibility option and the Tools ➪ Sketch Settings menu option.
Custom Properties are another piece of the template puzzle. If you use or plan to use BOMs (Bills
of Materials), PDM (Product Data Management), or linked notes on drawings, you need to take
advantage of the automation options available with custom properties. Setting up custom properties
is covered in detail in Chapter 20.
In addition, the names of the standard planes are template specific. For example, the standard
planes may be named Front, Top, and Side; or XY, XZ, and ZY; or Plane1, Plane2, and Plane3; or
North, Plan, and East; or Elevation, Plan, and Side for different uses.

Right click menu in solidworks customize

In a SOLIDWORKS document, click Tools > Customize, or right-click in the window border and select Customize. Select a menu. Select the command to add, rename, or remove. Displays the code name of the selected menu. Right-click in the Graphics window on a model, or in the FeatureManager on a feature or sketch to display the Context-sensitive toolbar. If you are in the middle of a command, this toolbar displays a list of options specifically related to that command. Right-click an empty space in the Graphics window of a part or assembly, and a selection context toolbar above the shortcut menu is displayed. This provides easy access to the most commonly used selection tools.

Callouts and Handles in Solidworks

Callout solidworks are boxes of text that appear in the graphic area when we use certain tools. Makes it easy for us to click, move, and adjust parameters dynamically without leaving the graphic area. Callouts help distinguish different entities. For example, info that shows the profile of a sweep and sweep path. We can do it by dragging to reposition it, but we cannot use it to change the property of the entity they are referring to. Some info, such as for chamfers, will display numbers that you can edit or change to manipulate the size of the entity. The long span handle is extruded. Drag the handle to the desired extrusion depth, and the handle covers the length.

Controlling Colors Layer AutoCad

Each layer has a color associated with it. Using different colors for different layers helps you visually distinguish different information in the drawing. An object’s color also may control appearance during printing. There are two different ways of selecting the color for objects on your screen. The best way is usually to set the layer color and draw the objects on the appropriate layer. This method keeps your drawing organized. The other method is to use the Color Control feature on the Properties panel. To select the Color Control pull-down feature, The three tabs of the Select Color dialog box allow you to choose among different methods to determine the color for your drawing entities. The True Color tab allows you to set color to either RGB, which stands for Red, Green, Blue, the primary colors of light, or HSL, which stands for the Hue, Saturation, and Luminance of the color. The Color Books tab lets you select from among different standard ink manufacturer’s predefined color...
