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...

Sketching with Parametrics in the solidworks

Sketching with Parametrics in the solidworks
Sketching solidworks in 2D format is done by clicking Sketch in the Command Manager or by activating the Sketch feature. Sketch is the most common type of feature. Sketching in parametric software is different from drawing lines in 2D CAD. SolidWorks sketches are parametric. that is, we can make a sketch which changes accordingly the rules. Apart from 2D sketches, SolidWorks can also create 3D sketches. But 2D sketching is much more widely used. We make a 2D sketch on the selected plane or planar surface and then use it to create shapes for features like Extrude, Revolve, and etc. Relationships in 2D sketches are often made between sketched entities and other edges of the model which may or may not be in the sketch area. In situations where other entities are not in the sketch plane, the entity outside the plane is projected onto the sketch plane in the direction normal to plane sketch. This is not the case for 3D sketching. You can use 3D sketching for the Hole Wizard, routing, welding and complex shapes creation, among other applications. Work with 2D sketch, This Sketch The relationship persists through changes and allows us to move the sketch elements dynamically with the cursor on the screen. Settings to enable or disable showing sketch relationships symbols found in View, Sketch Relations. If we drag one of the infinite corners, the two neighboring lines follow the end point drawn. This is useful when we are experimenting with changes to the sketch as you can see the new and old status sketch. Settings to enable or disable can be found in Tools , Options , Sketch , Draw on Drag.

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...
