Part V: Creating Drawings
FIGURE 21.34
Creating a Detail View
- Drag the circumference of the circle and watch the view dynamically resize.
- Leave the Detail circle selected so that the center of the circle is highlighted. Drag
the center of the circle around the view. The effect is like moving a magnifying glass over
the part. If you drag the center with the Ctrl key pressed, then you will not pick up any
automatic sketch relations when you drop it somewhere.
- Click the Broken-out Section View tool on the Drawings toolbar. Draw a spline on
the Right View similar to the one shown in the image to the left in Figure 21.35. Use a
section depth of 1 inch, Splines take a little practice.
FIGURE 21.35
Creating a Broken-out Section View
- Click inside the view border but outside of the part in the Top view (in the upper-
left section of the drawing). Press Ctrl+C.
- Click the Add Sheet icon to the right of the sheet tab in the lower-left corner of the
drawing that says Sheet1, and select Add New Sheet. If you used the template that I
provided, a message may appear, saying that SolidWorks cannot find the format. This is
because I only supplied you with the template file, not the format as a separate file. In
any case, switch to the B size format and accept.
