Fundamentals of Drawing Engineering Design with SOLIDWORKS® 2016
Design parts to maximize symmetry and geometric relations to fully define sketches.
Minimize dimensions in the part. Insert dimensions in the drawing to adhere to
machining requirements and Dimension Standards.
Examples: Insert reference dimensions by adding parentheses and redefine a slot
dimension scheme according to the ASME Y14.5 standard.
Additional Information Dimensions and Annotations are found in SOLIDWORKS
Help Topics. Keywords: Dimensions (circles, extension lines, inserting into drawings,
move, parenthesis), Annotations (Hole Callout, Centerline and Center Mark).
Review Dimensions and Annotations
You inserted part dimensions and annotations into the drawing. Dimensions were moved
to new positions. Leader lines and dimension text were repositioned. Annotations were
edited to reflect the drawing standard.
Centerlines and Center Marks were inserted into each view and were modified in the
PropertyManager. You modified Hole Callouts, dimensions, annotations and referenced
dimensions to conform to the drawing standard.
