Dr Simin Nasseri, SPSU Choose a Paper Size/Format Leave Unchecked for Plain Sheet INTRODUCTION TO SOLID MODELING USING SOLIDWORKS 2009
Dr Simin Nasseri, SPSU Set Units Units can be different from those of parts Units can be changed at any time; all dimensions will be converted to the new unit system INTRODUCTION TO SOLID MODELING USING SOLIDWORKS 2009
Dr Simin Nasseri, SPSU Third-Angle Projection Typical for most U.S. drawings FRONT TOP RIGHT INTRODUCTION TO SOLID MODELING USING SOLIDWORKS 2009
Dr Simin Nasseri, SPSU Importing Dimensions Dimensions are linked to part values Automatically –imported dimensions can be moved between drawing views as desired INTRODUCTION TO SOLID MODELING USING SOLIDWORKS 2009
Dr Simin Nasseri, SPSU Section View Defined by a line through the part INTRODUCTION TO SOLID MODELING USING SOLIDWORKS 2009
Dr Simin Nasseri, SPSU Detail View Allows small features to be more easily dimensioned INTRODUCTION TO SOLID MODELING USING SOLIDWORKS 2009
Dr Simin Nasseri, SPSU Tolerances Many dimensions have their tolerances defined by the default tolerances of the title block or a note Individual tolerances can be defined for critical dimensions INTRODUCTION TO SOLID MODELING USING SOLIDWORKS 2009
Dr Simin Nasseri, SPSU Geometric Tolerances Geometric tolerances are often added to define requirements beyond dimensional tolerances. In this case, the flatness of the back of the flange is specified INTRODUCTION TO SOLID MODELING USING SOLIDWORKS 2009
Dr Simin Nasseri, SPSU Finished Drawing With title block and note INTRODUCTION TO SOLID MODELING USING SOLIDWORKS 2009
Dr Simin Nasseri, SPSU eDrawings eDrawings can be shared with other users without having to share the associated part file eDrawings files are very small compared to SW part and drawing files Users without SolidWorks can view eDrawings with a free viewer eDrawings can also be sent as executable files containing the viewer INTRODUCTION TO SOLID MODELING USING SOLIDWORKS 2009
