Engineering Design with SOLIDWORKS 2016

Fundamentals of Drawing Engineering Design with SOLIDWORKS® 2016

Project Summary

In this Project you developed two drawings: GUIDE drawing and the GUIDE-ROD

assembly drawing. The drawings contained three standard views, (principle views) and
an Isometric view. The drawings utilized a custom Sheet Format containing a Company

logo, Title block and Custom Properties. You incorporated the GUIDE part dimensions

into the drawing.

The Drawing toolbar contained the Model View tool and the Projected View tool to

develop standard views. Additional views were required and utilized the Auxiliary, Detail
and Section view tools. Dimensions were inserted from the part and added to the

drawing.

You used two major design modes in the drawings: Edit Sheet Format and Edit Sheet.

The detailed GUIDE drawing included annotations and Custom Properties. The GUIDE-

ROD assembly drawing incorporated a Bill of Materials and additional Custom
Properties.

Annotations from the Menu bar.
