Fundamentals of Drawing Engineering Design with SOLIDWORKS® 2016
Tangent Edges Visible provides clarity
for feature edges. To address the ASME
Y14.5 standard, use Tangent Edges With
Font (Phantom lines) or Tangent Edges
Removed. Right-click in the view
boundary to access the Tangent Edge
options.
Drawing views can be displayed in High
quality and Draft quality. In High quality,
all model information is loaded into
memory. By default, drawing views are
displayed in High quality.
In Draft quality, only minimum model
information is loaded into memory. Utilize
Draft quality for large assemblies to
increase performance.
Utilize Options, System Options,
Drawings, Display Style to control the
quality of a view.
By default, SOLIDWORKS will populate
Section and Detail views before other
views on your drawing.
Use the Pack and Go tool to save and gather all
related files for a model design (parts, assemblies,
drawings, references, design tables, Design Binder
content, decals, appearances, and scenes, and
SOLIDWORKS Simulation results) into a single
folder or zip file. It’s one of the best tools to
utilize when you are trying to save a large
assembly or drawing with references and
SOLIDWORKS Toolbox components.
