Part V: Creating Drawings


Summary


SolidWorks has the capacity to make many different types of views of parts and assemblies. In
addition to the tools for projecting views, custom views saved in the model document can be saved
and used on the drawing. The associative nature of the drawing to the model helps ensure that
drawing views, regardless of how unusual the section angle or view orientation, are displayed in
the correct size, location, and geometry.

It is sometimes better to create some of the views that require sketches by pre-sketching. Make use
of workflow enhancements when possible; for example, the Broken-out Section automated work-
flow works well, but forcing it to be a manual process makes it awkward to use.
