Assembly

Hey, this is the 6^th update on my SolidWorks blog

This week was about learning how to use “Assembly” and a “Bill of Materials”.

I opened up my parts in the assembly after I created them and added copies of the parts to the assembly so that I could join them in different configurations by using “Mate” and different surfaces to “Mate” on.

I then went into the exploded view option so that I could drag parts from the assembly without losing their positon.

Last, I created a drawing of the exploded view but this time I inserted a bill of materials and used balloons to number match the corresponding parts to the bill.

Thank you for reading, until next time,
