Solidworks Drawing Crossed Dotted Lined Box

SolidWorks Intro Part 3

Dave Touretzky

Eye PUZZLE PIECES:

1. Start a new part.
2. Create an Extruded Base on the front plane.
3. Sketch a rectangle away from the origin.
4. Dimension the rectangle to be ane inch high and 1.v inches wide.
5. Add a vertical centerline through the midpoints.
6. Add a horizontal centerline likewise.
7. Add together a point at the midpoint of the vertical line: select the signal tool, hover over the vertical line until it turns orange, and so move the mouse pointer to snap to the yellow midpoint indicator and left click to brand the indicate.
8. Add a midpoint relation between the point and the horizontal line: click on the point, shift-click on the horizontal line, and select "Midpoint".
9. Snap the center of the rectangle to the origin. It should plough blackness.

   Making curves

10. Select the spline
11. Start a bend by clicking somewhere in the tiptop left half of the rectangle.
12. Put the second betoken below and to the left of the starting time one; double click to end the curve, or hit escape to exit the curve tool.
    • If not selected, click on the curve to select it.
13. Play with the control points:
    • The diamond changes the angle of the curve but not the length.
    • The arrowhead changes the length but not the bending.
    • The dot changes both length and angle.
14. Snap the ii endpoints to the vertical centerline.
15. Adjust the control points to brand one-half a heart shape.
16. Click on the Mirror Entities tool and mirror the curve to make a heart.
17. Click on Exit Sketch and set up the extrusion depth to 1/8 inch.
18. Save your file every bit HeartTile.SLDPRT

    Making puzzle connectors with trim

19. Edit the sketch once again, and become to a Normal View.
20. Describe a small circumvolve centered slightly exterior the right border of the rectangle, centered on the edge midpoint.
    • To exercise this, select the circle tool, put the mouse on the correct edge (which makes the midpoint visible)
    • Slide information technology up until you achieve the midpoint, then move slightly to the right.
21. Draw a horizontal centerline connecting the circle to the correct edge.
22. Dimension the circle diameter to 0.two inches (radius 0.one inches).
23. Dimension the centerline to 0.07 inches.
24. Describe another minor circle centered slightly INSIDE the left edge of the rectangle, on its midpoint.
25. Select the circumvolve, and so shift-click to select the other circle.
26. Add an Equal relation between the two circles.
27. Draw a horizontal centerline connecting the new circle to the left border.
    • Notation: this will overlap the existing mid-point centerline.
28. Click on the centerline, which selects the long centerling. Correct click and do "Select Other" to get the brusque 1. (The currently selected sketch element is always the terminal one on the "Select Other" list, so cull the first ane.)
29. Shift-click on the other horizontal centerline.
30. Add an Equal relation betwixt the two centerlines.
    • Find that the sketch contains crossed lines (intersecting contours).
31. Click on Leave Sketch and yous'll get an error considering of intersecting contours.
32. Go dorsum in and edit the sketch.
33. Click on the Trim Entities tool.
34. Click and drag across the line segments you want to delete, and so no lines cross.
35. Employ control-Z to undo if y'all brand a mistake.
36. The points that mark the edges of the long horizontal centerline are now bluish. Click on the left point, shift click on the vertical line above it, and add a Coincident relation; this re-constrains the length of the horizontal centerline. Do the same for the right point. Everything should be black except the heart outline.
37. Now y'all have a puzzle piece.
38. Repeat the aforementioned process to add together top and lesser connectors to the puzzle slice.
39. Add a 0.25 inch radius fillet to the corners of the piece.

    Assembly of Pieces

    
    
40. Make a new associates and insert four heart tiles.
41. Color two of them red and two xanthous.
42. Mate them together as if they were puzzle pieces.
43. Salve your assembly as HeartMosaic.SLDPRT

THE Hole WIZARD

Iii ways to make a hole:

• Closed contour in a sketch to be extruded.
• Extruded cutting.
• The Hole Wizard:

Why you should use the pigsty wizard:

• Right sizing for standard fasteners (ANSI or metric).
• Adjustable fit tolerances.
• Proper symbology for machinist drawings.

Hole Wizard Case:

1. Beginning with your HeartPiece office.
2. Click on Hole Wizard in the Features tab.
3. Click on "Pigsty" (tertiary entry in the grid of pigsty types).
4. Select "ANSI inch".
5. Select "Screw clearance".
6. Alter the clearance type from "Normal" to "Close".
7. Click on the "Positions" tab at the top of the dialog box.
8. Click on the face of the part.
9. Find the mouse pointer changes to a bespeak tool. Click to place a point, indicating a hole location.
10. Click over again to place some other indicate.
11. Click on the light-green checkmark to complete the hole dialog.
12. To edit whole positions, open the "Clearance Hole" feature in the Feature Manager tree and edit the first sketch, which specifies the hole positions.
13. The second sketch describes the shape of the hole; don't edit that.
