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...
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.
