Josh Altergott is Support Manager at Computer Aided Technology, a SolidWorks Value Added Reseller with locations in Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas, Indiana, Wisconsin and Illinois. for letting my use his models for this example. I hope this helps everyone as they create different drawings.Īlso a special thanks to Ken Zirbel from Fox Valley Tool & Die Inc. The downfall to this method is when inserting dimensions it brings in the dimensions for the entire model and not just the solid body. The one item to consider is if your body is not oriented in a standard drawing view you will need to create a new named view to use in the drawing. The last option we have is Select Bodies which allows us to choose which body we want to create a drawing view of. The downside to this is you have to be aware of changes that you make to the file and managing all of the features. The benefit to this is that you now have a configuration you can reference on the drawing or for an assembly later and you have dimensions that you can easily show on your drawing. One warning is you have to make sure that when doing this you check all Parent/Child Relations to make sure when you suppress one feature it does not take out others you do not want suppressed. You can always create a configuration(s) to represent the different bodies and their features.įor our example all we needed to do was create a new configuration called Steel Rule and suppress all of the features that were not related to our “target body”.
Here is the breakdown of what I saw on my machine: Start: 2019. To get the file back down in size you must turn off detailing mode and use Save As and re-write the file. Overall it is up to you which of these options will work best for your application. Once you have saved the drawing with detailing mode turned on the file is converted and possibly quite large. For students who wish to advance beyond EGDT 2010 through the development of an outside project which incorporates advanced theory and drawing procedures. This works much like Option 1 but does give you a few more items that you can control such as the file name, creating an assembly of all the different solid bodies, and part template choice. The items I see that can be a downfall to this method is that you now have an additional part that you need to maintain as well as a part the has no dimensions when you go to create a drawing of the part.
#Drawing and detailing with solidworks 2010 software#
The software updates the existing derived parts, preserving parent-child relations. If you change the geometry of the original part, the new parts also change. Each new part contains a single feature named Stock- – n ->. This option creates a new derived part that contains a reference back to the parent part. The answer to this is like many items in SolidWorks is open ended and has many different solutions and I am going to run you thru a few of these options. When you have a multi-body part in SolidWorks the question that comes into play at some point is how do I make a drawing for each of the different bodies “parts”.
