Daily Journal: N/A
Technical drawings are intended to communicate important information about objects -- enough so the object can be created. Hand-in-hand with the drawing itself are the dimensions a designer includes on a drawing. It is important that dimensions are presented in a consistent fashion to facilitate interpretation and reduce the risk of error in reading the drawing. As a result, rules have been developed by which all technical drawings are dimensioned. These CVHS Dimensioning Standards were discussed, and should be used when creating drawings. These dimensioning standards are also located on the Resources Page.
These Dimensioning Standards and Solidworks Notes highlight the dimensioning standards that Solidworks takes care of automatically for the user vs. those dimensioning tasks that the user still must focus on and do correctly. Solidworks won't do everything for you!
