AUTOCAD SOLIDWORKS DESIGN

Now that you have fully defined the sketch that makes up the profile for the lamp shaft, you can create the revolved part. All that is required in the sketch is that a centerline be present to use as an axis of revolution and that all the sketch entities be on one side of the centerline only. The profile that will be used must also be a closed profile, but since you created the sketch with an obvious dividing line, SolidWorks will be able to place a line along the centerline to close the sketch. To revolve the part, do the following: 1. Select the Features tab on the CommandManager, and click the Revolved Boss/Base button. 2. A SolidWorks message box will prompt you stating that the sketch needs to be closed and asking whether you would like to automatically close the sketch. Since you do need it to be closed, click Yes.

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.

This command is quite important for you to know and will most often be run when describing or editing objects in AutoCAD because of its crucial function. Here I want to show directly how to run this command so that it can be used in drawing and editing images. If we do not set a limit and press ENTER at the Select Objects prompt, all objects become potential boundary. This is called implied selection. To select the geometry in the block as a boundary, we must use a single, crossing, fence, or implied boundaries. Extend Objects we can extend objects so that they end precisely at the edge of the limits prescribed by other objects. In this example, we will expand / extend the line right to the edge of the boundary line. To create extend the object From the Modify menu, choose Extend. Select the object as a boundary edge. To select all objects in the drawing as a potential border, press ENTER without selecting an object. Select the object to be extended.
