    The document discusses various tools and concepts in Solidworks including: 1. The six steps of modeling which are to select a face or plane, start a new sketch, draw geometry, tie geometry to the origin, add relations and dimensions, and create the feature. 2. The three different color definitions for relationships within Solidworks - blue, black, and yellow or red. 3. Common file types in Solidworks of Part, Assembly, and Drawing files. 4. Modeling techniques such as reference geometry, partial fillets, draft, loft, mates, and in-context modeling.

    Six Steps of Modeling


    1. Select a face or plane
    2. Start a new sketch
    3. Draw geometry
    4. Tie geometry to the origin
    5. Add relations and dimensions
    6. Create the feature

    Three different colours inside solidworks


    Blue: Undefined or Underdefined
    Black: Fully Defined in a relationship
    Yellow or Red: Overdefined, Too many relations or relations that doesn't make sense

    Partial Fillet

    Do fillet at the end of your design stage

    Draft

    Use shell command before you add fillet to your part.

    Loft

    Turn off "Exact" option during slicing by intersection method.

    Whenever you are adding subassembly to a top level assembly, build it the way you
    would build it in real life.

    Face to face and plane to plane mate are the strongest then comes line to line mate
    which are moderate and point to point or point to path mate are the weakest.

    In-context Modelling

    Design Table

    Hole Call Out

    In case of complex holes, use section view or breakout view for proper
    illustrations.

    Use ordinate dimensions when you have a huge amount of things to measure in a
    drawing

    For Assembly Drawings:


    Chose the views that you want to show.
    Add bill of materials.
    Add ballons.
    Add exploded Views.

    Offset Surface & Copy Surface (0)

    Check surface finish after using thicken tool.

    Sensors

    Origin of the first part and the assembly should be the same.

    Double dimension is activated using a centerline.

    Hold down shift if you want to switch between outside and inside dimension.

    Make sure to select the right material, right units and right amount of decimal
    properties before evaluating mass properties.

    G = SKETCH, F = ZOOM FIT, V = EXTRUDE, N = EXTRUDE CUT, J = 2-POINT RECTANGLE, K =


    CENTERLINE, L = LINE, H = TILE HORIZONTAL, C = TRIM, T = TANGENT ARC
