How to give annotations to a SolidWorks drawing? To add annotations to your drawing views follow these steps: To communicate design details, such as dimensions, select the ‘Smart Dimension’ command from the Annotation tab. Choose an edge you want to dimension and place the dimension by clickin...
Adding dimensions manually can be a tedious job if you have to do it many times a day. SOLIDWORKS Automatic Sketch Dimensions makes this process much faster. Instead of finishing drawing a sketch entity, then selecting the Smart Dimension command, then adding dimensions one by one; the dimension...
I’m going to delete the B column because I don’t want to suppress or unsupress the feature, and then I’ll click in the B2 cell and add in Hole_dia and then Hole_depth in C3. Now, you can see why naming those dimensions is important. When I look at the Design Table, I ca...

9. Ensure clarity of dimensions. Make sure dimensions are placed outside of the view and that dimension lines do not cross each other. For clarity, be careful not to duplicate dimensions that may be called out in other views or inherent in a 3D model under title block tolerances. Dimension...
Use the software interface and basic 2D and 3D tools Learn to use commands, create shapes and lines, set dimensions and move around the workspace Learn to import and export documents, save features, work with files in different formats and print. Create assemblies, work in layers, basic 3D ...
Manufacturing is complex, and there are too many dimensions for comprehensively comparing each method against all others. It is near impossible to optimize all at once for cost, speed, geometric complexity, materials, mechanical properties, surface finish, tolerances, and repeatability. In such complex...
An engineering drawing communicates what a designer or design engineer wants to have made. It shows the shape, the dimensions with the limits of acceptable variation (the tolerances), the surface finishes required, and how parts should fit together. When drawn by hand, these would be copied by...
can be done either in-house or by a CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) design service company. CAD software allows designers and manufacturers to make a model or render their parts. They can design their products according to customized technical specifications, such as dimensions and ...
