Engineering Design with SOLIDWORKS® 2016 Fundamentals of Drawing
Select the dashed view boundary to move a
view in the drawing.
Auxiliary View, Section View and Detail View
The GUIDE drawing requires
additional views to document the
part. Insert an Auxiliary view,
Section view and Detail view from
the View Layout tab in the
CommandManager. Review the
following view terminology before
you begin the next activity.
Auxiliary View:
The Auxiliary view drawing tool
provides the ability to display a plane
parallel to an angled plane with true
dimensions.
A primary Auxiliary view is hinged to
one of the six Principle Orthographic
views. Create a Primary Auxiliary view
that references the angled edge in the
Front view.
Section View:
The Section view drawing tool provides
the ability to display the interior features of a
part. Define a cutting plane with a sketched
line in a view perpendicular to the Section
view.
Use the Section view sketch mode in
conjunction with the Section tool user interface
to create a Section view in the Top view.
