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.

Revolve the Sketch Solidworks

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.
