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.

Using toolbars

The point of the CommandManager is to enable you have many toolbars available to you in a single
click, with the main goal being space savings. SolidWorks is a complex program, with a sprawling
interface. The CommandManager does a good job of making most of it available to you quickly
without taking up a lot of space. Unfortunately, when you save one thing, you usually wind up giving
up something else. Interface set up is frequently about compromise or balancing conflicting concerns.
In the case of the CommandManager, the compromise is between mouse travels and clicks.
You may find yourself clicking frequently back and forth between the Sketch and Features tabs. For
this reason, in my interface setup, I put the Sketch toolbar vertically on the right, and remove it
from the CommandManager. This enables me to see the Sketch and Features toolbars at the same
time, and greatly reduces the times I have to click back and forth between the tabs.
You can enable and disable toolbars in several ways. To enable a toolbar, right-click in a toolbar
area and you will be presented with a list of toolbars in SolidWorks. You can enable and disable
this list from here. Another way to do this is to use the Customize dialog box by choosing
Tools ➪ Customize, or the Customize option near the bottom of the RMB toolbar list. Yet another
way is to choose View ➪ Toolbars.

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...
