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.

Engineering Drawing and Related Documentation Practices

Drawing Templates in this section are based upon the American Society of Mechanical Engineers ASME Y14 American National Standard for Engineering Drawing and Related Documentation Practices. These standards represent the drawing practices used by U.S. industry. The ASME Y14 practices supersede the American National Standards Institute ANSI standards. The ASME Y14 Engineering Drawing and Related Documentation Practices are published by The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, New York, NY.

Rotate the object

We design changes or we pull the wrong angle, we may need to rotate one or more objects that we make.we can easily rotate an object or objects around the basic point that we specify.Base point is usually the object snap points on the object.To demonstrate the rotation, determine the angle of rotation.By default, the zero is to the right, and increased degrees if counter-clockwise. To change the default, select Format> Units By setting a negative angle, we can change the object clockwise. To rotate the object, choose Rotate from the Modify toolbar and select one object. Alternatively, select the object and then select Rotate from the Modify toolbar. Specify base point: prompt, indicating a point about what we want to play. Specify rotation angle or [Copy / Reference]: prompt, type the angle on the command line. Use the Copy option to make a copy of the original object. Once we use the copy option, the prompt return of the same so that we can determine the angle of ro...

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.
