Engineering Design with SOLIDWORKS® 2016 Fundamentals of Drawing

Select the dashed view boundary to move a

view in the drawing.

Auxiliary View, Section View and Detail View

The GUIDE drawing requires

additional views to document the

part. Insert an Auxiliary view,

Section view and Detail view from
the View Layout tab in the

CommandManager. Review the

following view terminology before

you begin the next activity.

Auxiliary View:

The Auxiliary view drawing tool

provides the ability to display a plane
parallel to an angled plane with true

dimensions.

A primary Auxiliary view is hinged to

one of the six Principle Orthographic

views. Create a Primary Auxiliary view
that references the angled edge in the

Front view.

Section View:

The Section view drawing tool provides
the ability to display the interior features of a

part. Define a cutting plane with a sketched

line in a view perpendicular to the Section

view.

Use the Section view sketch mode in
conjunction with the Section tool user interface

to create a Section view in the Top view.
