A SolidWorks model is fully associative. Associativity between parts,sub-assemblies, assemblies, and drawings, assures that changes incorporated in onedocument or drawing view are automatically made to all other related documents anddrawing views.Material• Drawings. Create 2D drawings of the 3D solid parts and assemblies which youdesign. Parts, assemblies, and drawings are linked documents. This means that anychange incorporated into the part or assembly changes the drawing document. Adrawing generally consists of several views generated from the model. Views canalso be created from existing views. Example: The Section or Projected view iscreated from an existing drawing view.• Constraints.CopyrightedSolidWorks supports numerous constraints. Constraints are geometricparameters.
