SOLIDWORKS is 3D product design software that provides tools for parametric modeling, assembly creation, and 2D technical drawing, helping engineers move from concept to production. It allows users to design parts, simulate performance with finite element analysis and other simulations, create computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) instructions, and manage design data.  for weldments, sheet metal, and electrical design.  

Introduction to SOLIDWORKS

• Creating base, boss, and cut features from sketches

• Adding fillets to smooth edges

• Creating a circular pattern

• Adding drawing views

• Adding centerlines, center marks, and dimensions to the drawing

Lesson 3 - Drawings

This lesson includes:

• Opening a drawing template and editing a sheet format

• Inserting standard views of a part model

• Adding model and reference annotations

• Adding another drawing sheet

• Inserting a named view

• Printing the drawing

Building the Fillet Features Sample Part

In this lesson, you learn how to build the sample part used in the Fillet Features tutorial. You can capture the symmetry of a knob in the design intent of the part. You build one half of the sample part in this lesson, then in the Fillet Features lesson, you mirror the model to create the other half. Any changes you make to the original half are reflected in the other half.

The steps include:

• Using relations in sketches

• Adding draft angles to extruded features
