Quick StartInsert a Bill of Material into the Gear assembly drawing.CopyrightedA drawing can contain a table-based Bill of Materials oran Excel based Bill of Materials, but not both.32. Click Insert Tables Bill of Materials from theMain menu. The Bill of Materials PropertyManager isdisplayed.33. Click inside the Front view, Drawing View1.

Click File Exit from the Main menu to close theSolidWorks session. You are finished with Chapter1. Reviewthe SolidWorks Tutorials for additional information on parts,assemblies, and drawings.CopyrightedSummaryIn this chapter you learned about a Base sketch, Base feature, Extrude Cutfeatures, refining theMaterialdesign, associativity, drawings, and geometric constraints. Youstarted a SolidWorks session, and applied the SolidWorks User Interface (UI) andCommandManager.Page 1 - 23
Quick StartYou created the Standoff2 part using the Extruded Base/Boss feature with the MidPlane End ConditionCopyrightedoption in Direction 1. You created an Extruded Cut feature with theThrough All End Condition option to complete the part. You applied dimensions andmodified these dimensions. You applied color to your part using the Color and OpticsPropertyManager.You created the GearMaterialassembly with two components: Standoff2 and Gear28. Youfixed the first inserted component to the Origin. You inserted the second component andthen inserted a Concentric and Distance Mate.You created an assembly drawing with a Front, Top, Right, and Isometric view.You modified the Isometric view with a Shaded with Edges Display Style. In the drawingyou inserted a simple Bill of Materials. You have completed the first chapter of the book.In Chapter 2, you’ll learn more features and sketching techniques required tocreate a CoverCopyrightedpart and a Gear part used in the VEXplorer model.Key termsMaterial• Associativity. Assures that changes incorporated in one document or drawing view areautomatically made to all other related documents and drawing views.• Base feature. The first feature of a part is called the Base feature.• Base sketch. The first sketch of a part is called the Base sketch. The Base sketch is thefoundation for the 3D model. Create a 2D sketch on a default plane: Front, Top, andRight in the FeatureManager design tree, or on a created plane.Copyrighted• ConfigurationManager. Located on the left side of the SolidWorks Graphics windowis a used to create, select, and view multiple configurations of parts and assemblies ina document.• Constraints. GeometricMaterialrelations such as Perpendicular, Horizontal, Parallel, Vertical,Coincident, Concentric, etc. Insert constraints to your model to incorporate design• Coordinate system. A system of planes used to assign Cartesian coordinates tofeatures, parts, and assemblies. Part and assembly documents contain defaultcoordinate systems; other coordinate systems can be defined with reference geometry.Coordinate systems can be used with measurement tools and for exporting documentsto other file formats.Copyrightedintent.• Design intent. Design intent is the intellectual arrangements of features anddimensions of a design. Design intent governs the relationship between sketches in afeature, features in a part, and parts in an assembly.• Design Library. LocatedMaterialin the Task Pane, the Design Library provides a centrallocation for reusable elements such as parts, assemblies, etc.Page 1 - 24
