Engineering Design with SOLIDWORKS® 2016 Fundamentals of Drawing
The GUIDE-ROD assembly
drawing contains an Isometric
Exploded view.
The drawing contains a Bill of
Materials with balloon text
with bent leaders and magnetic
lines.
Both drawings utilize a custom
Sheet Format containing a
Company logo, Title block and
Sheet information.
There are two major design
modes used to develop a
SOLIDWORKS drawing:
- Edit Sheet Format.
- Edit Sheet.
The Edit Sheet Format mode provides the ability
to:
- Define the Title block size and
text headings.
- Incorporate a company logo.
- Add a picture, design, company
text and more.
The Edit Sheet mode provides the
ability to:
- Add or modify drawing views.
- Add or modify drawing view dimensions.
- Add or modify text and more.
Drawing Template and Sheet Format
The foundation of a SOLIDWORKS drawing document is the Drawing Template.
Drawing size, drawing standards, company information, manufacturing, and or assembly
requirements, units and other properties are defined in the Drawing Template.
