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...
Sketch on Solidworks is not much different from sketching on other CAD programs, it's just that if we make sketches on sketching solidworks take precedence then the size is determined using the smart dimension toolbar, this toolbar functions to give size / dimensions to the sketch that we make, both linear, angular, radius, diameter, and aligned. In the following section, I first identify the default buttons on the Sketch toolbar, followed by the
rest of the entities that you can access by choosing Tools ➪ Customize ➪ Commands ➪ Sketch.
Sketch opens and closes sketches. You may notice that the name of the button changes depending
on if the sketch is open or closed. If you preselect a plane or planar face and then click the Sketch
button, SolidWorks opens a new sketch on the plane or face. If you preselect a sketch before clicking
the Sketch button, SolidWorks opens this sketch. If you preselect an edge or curve feature
before
clicking the Sketch button, SolidWorks automatically makes a plane perpendicular to the
nearest
end of the curve from the location you picked. If you do not use preselection, and only
click
the Sketch tool with nothing selected, SolidWorks prompts you to select a plane or planar
face
on which you want to put a new sketch, or an existing sketch to edit.
3D Sketch opens and closes 3D sketches with no preselection required. 3D sketch is covered in
more detail in Chapter 31.
Smart Dimension can create all types of dimensions used in SolidWorks, such as horizontal, vertical,
aligned, radial, diameter, angle, and arc length. You can create dimensions several ways, as
shown
By selecting a line and placing the dimension
By selecting the endpoints of the line and placing the dimension
By selecting a line and a point and placing the dimension
By selecting a pair of parallel lines and placing the dimension
Selecting the line is the easiest and fastest method. Selecting parallel lines on the ends is not rec-
ommended because if you delete either of the selected lines, the dimension is also deleted; however,
sometimes this method is necessary.
You can use the first and second techniques for the angled line shown in Figure 3.1 to create any
of the three dimensions shown. To accomplish this task, drag the cursor while placing the dimension
until the witness lines snap to the orientation you want.
