Engineering Design with SOLIDWORKS® 2016 Fundamentals of Drawing
Fit the drawing to the Graphics window.
425) Press the f key.
- Drag the views and annotations if required for spacing.
Save the GUIDE drawing.
- Click Save.
Establish Custom Properties early in the design process. The MATERIAL and
FINISH Custom Properties are established in the part and propagate to the Title block in
the drawing.
Create engineering procedures to define the location and values of Custom
Properties. The REVISION Custom Property was created in the drawing in the
REVISION Table. The REVISION Custom Property can also be established in the part
and propagate to the drawing. Does the part or the drawing control the revision? Your
company’s engineering procedures determine the answer.
Additional annotations are required for drawings. Utilize the Surface Finish tool to
apply symbols to individual faces/edges in the part or in the drawing. When an assembly
contains mating parts, document their relationship. Add part numbers in the Used On
section. Additional annotations are left as an exercise.
Exploded View
Add an Exploded view and Bill of Materials to the drawing. Add the GUIDE-ROD
assembly Exploded view. The Bill of Materials reflects the components of the GUIDE-
ROD assembly. Create a drawing with a Bill of Materials.
Perform the following steps:
- Create a new drawing from the B-ANSI-MM Drawing Template.
- Display the Exploded view of the assembly.
- Insert the Exploded view of the assembly into the drawing.
- Label each component with Balloon text.
- Create a Bill of Materials.
