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...

Dimension Types in Sketches Solidworks

When you selected the Smart Dimension tool in the shortcut bar while creating the sketch, you may have noticed that there were a few more dimension types Cr e a t e a B a s e E x t r u s io n 9 5 available. The Smart Sketch dimension type will be the type you will use most of the time, but it still wouldn’t hurt to become familiar with all the dimension types: 
Smart Dimension. The Smart Dimension tool will be your most used tool when defining sketch elements. Smart Dimension automatically selects the dimension type that will be used based on the sketch entities that are selected. Not only does Smart Dimension determine the dimension type based on the type of entity selected, but it also can choose another dimension type, such as angles and point-to-point dimensions, based on where you place the dimensions. 
Horizontal Dimension. The Horizontal Dimension tool creates a dimension where the dimension line is horizontal and the extension lines are vertical regardless of the entity selected in the sketch. 
Vertical Dimension. The Vertical Dimension tool creates a dimension where the dimension line is vertical and the extension lines are horizontal regardless of the entity selected in the sketch. 
Ordinate Dimension In ASME Y14.5, ordinate dimensions are referred to as rectangular coordinate dimensions without dimensions lines—that’s quite a mouthful. Luckily, in SolidWorks they are only referred to as ordinate dimensions, and you create them with the Ordinate Dimension tool. This type of dimension is shown with the dimension’s value on the extension line without the addition of dimension lines or arrows. In a sketch, a zero dimension is specified, and then each subsequent dimension is shown with the value of the distance from the zero dimension. Like in smart dimensions, the Ordinate Dimension tool automatically determines the orientation of the dimension based on the entities selected. 
Horizontal Ordinate Dimension The Horizontal Ordinate Dimension tool creates a dimension with the value above the extension line without a dimension line or arrows. It will only place ordinate dimensions that are horizontally related to the selected dimension origin. 
Vertical Ordinate Dimension The Vertical Ordinate Dimension tool creates a dimension with the value next to the extension line without a dimension line or arrows. It will only place ordinate dimensions that are vertically related to the selected dimension origin.

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...
