Many people have many questions when learning SolidWorks , but they don't know how to answer them, so they take a lot of detours. Today, let's talk about the little tricks in learning SolidWorks!
1. Press "space bar:" to pop up a shortcut menu, double-click a view, and the model will turn to a certain direction.
2. The threaded hole is made with the "Special Hole Wizard" command, and what is made is only the size of the hole; to modify the thread: insert - comment - modify thread line command.
3. Press "CTRL" to add selection.
4. The method of adding geometric constraints: select the object, and add the desired constraint method in the property dialog box.
5. "CTRL+TAB key to switch between model space and drawing space.
6. The method of not displaying the tangent line: select the view—right click—cut edge—eliminate the intersection line of the cut edge.
7. The method of hiding the edge: select the view - right click - edge - hide the edge.
8. Press the "ART" key to drag the view to any position.
9. Whether to display the setting of the center line when inserting a view.
10. Dimension operations in the model (display, hide dimensions).
11. Transformation of the drawing method of the first sub-angle and the third sub-angle: Right click on the model tree and select "Drawing" - select Properties and modify in the Properties dialog box.
12. Automatically inserted dimensions are moved from one view to another: hold down the SHIFT key to move the dimension.
13. The method to display the temporary axis: View menu - Temporary axis.
14. The method of marking the distance from the arc tangent to the straight line: first select the straight line, hold down SHIFT and then select the arc.
15. Symmetrical labeling: It is necessary to draw the center line. When marking, select the center line first and then select other graph lines.
16. Create primitives by edges: first click the edge to select it, and execute the "Convert Entity Reference" command.
17. Stretching termination condition: "Forming to one side" is equivalent to stretching to the specified surface.
18. To make stepped section and rotated section: first use the centerline command to draw the position of the section plane in the engineering drawing, select the centerline and then execute the section view command or the rotation section view command.
19. When drawing the section plane position when making a rotating section view, first draw the section plane to be rotated, and then draw the section plane position without rotation.
20. The method of making a partial section view: First make a projected view—the spline command to draw the section range, select the spline (all nodes are displayed)—click the cut view command.
21. How to change the text height and arrow size: Tools - Options - Document Properties
22. For the first part inserted into the assembly, the method of aligning the origin of the coordinates of the part with the origin of the coordinates of the assembly: directly click "OK".
23. The selection filter icon is behind the "Select" button on the standard toolbar.
24. The treatment of solid parts without sectioning: one is to directly select the excluded parts during the process of making the engineering drawing; the other is to edit and modify after the production is completed: select the right button of the engineering drawing-properties-modify the parts to be excluded in the property dialog box.
25. Adjust the print width of engineering drawing lines: Tools - Options - Modify in the Options dialog box.
26. Component module: Symmetrical fit of two parts: use the width fit in the advanced options in the fit dialog box.
27. The method of making a half section view: use the partial section view command, the specific method: use the line command to draw the section range, and draw it along the symmetrical center line, and close it; select all the straight lines, execute the "broken section view" command, and complete the half section. Sectional view; use the "hidden line command" to hide the dividing line-solid line, and then use the "center line" command to draw a dotted line.
28. The method of model view reorientation: Press the "ctrl" key to select two planes (the plane must be the surface of the model and not the datum plane, the first plane will be parallel to the projection plane, and the second plane will be the top plane of the redirection to place the model), then click Normal At to orient the model as required. Click the "View Orientation" command, in the Orientation dialog box, click the "New View" tool button, name it in the Name View dialog box, and click OK.
29. Variable cross-section scanning: pay attention to draw the path and guide line first, and finally draw the contour line.
30. How to make an exploded view: Switch the model tree to configurationManger (the third button on the model tree)—click the right mouse button in the blank space of the model tree, select "Add Configuration" from the shortcut menu, and enter explode in the configuration dialog box view name, click OK. ——Click the "Exploded View" command under the Insert menu to start making an exploded view. ——Playback of exploded view: right-click the assembly in the model tree, and select "Animated Exploded View" in the shortcut menu. ——Editing the exploded view: In the production environment (switch to configurationManger), expand the model tree, right-click "Exploded View" and select "Edit Feature" from the shortcut menu.
