2D Drawings

Hey, this is the 5^th update on my SolidWorks blog

This week was about presenting CAD models as 2D drawings.

I started of with a standard title block and then edited it to contain my name and date. I also added in an extra column so that I could add in an image to show that my drawing will be in third angle projection.

  

After drawing my parts, I opened them up in “Drawing”. I placed my part down and moved the mouse around to display the top view, front view, right side and the isometric view. I then played around with the setting and turned on the hidden lines    

Next, I did a section view of a rounded part because the top and side view look the same. Also, there were details in the middle that needed to be shown. I proceeded to experiment with the hatching by making them parallel and on 45 degree angles.

That’s it for this week, till next time,
