1 SolidWorks Quick Start Guide JANUARY 2008

2 Lesson 1 - Parts Lesson 1 guides you through the creation of your first SolidWorks model. You create this simple part: This lesson includes: Creating a base feature Adding a boss feature Adding a cut feature Modifying features (adding fillets, changing dimensions) Displaying a section view of a part Creating a New Part Document You begin this lesson by opening a new part document. 1. Click New on the Standard toolbar. The New SolidWorks Document dialog box appears. 2. Click Part, then click OK. A new part window appears. When toolbar buttons have an orange-colored border, for example, you can click them in the tutorial window to flash the corresponding button in the SolidWorks window. 1

3 Sketching the Rectangle The first feature in the part is a box extruded from a sketched rectangular profile. You begin by sketching the rectangle. 1. Click Extruded Boss/Base on the Features toolbar. The Front, Top, and Right planes appear, and the pointer changes to. Notice that as you move the pointer over a plane, the border of the plane is highlighted. 2. Select the Front plane. The display changes so that the Front plane is facing you. The Sketch toolbar commands appear in the CommandManager, and a sketch opens on the Front plane. 3. Click Rectangle on the Sketch toolbar. 4. Move the pointer to the sketch origin. The pointer is on the origin when the pointer changes to. 5. Click the origin, then move the pointer to create a rectangle. As you move the pointer, notice that it displays the dimensions of the rectangle. 6. Click again to complete the rectangle. You do not have to be exact with the dimensions; you will use the Smart Dimension the next topic to dimension the sketch. tool in 7. Click Select on the Standard toolbar. The two sides of the rectangle that touch the origin are black. Because you began sketching at the origin, the vertex of these two sides is automatically related to the origin. (The vertex is not free to move.) 2

4 The other two sides (and three vertices) are blue. This indicates that they are under defined and therefore, free to move. 8. Drag one of the blue sides or drag the vertex to resize the rectangle. Adding Dimensions In this section you specify the size of the sketched rectangle by adding and changing dimensions. The SolidWorks software does not require that you dimension sketches before you use them to create features. However, for this example, you add dimensions now to fully define the sketch. 1. Click Options on the Standard toolbar. 2. On the System Options tab, click General. 3. Clear Input dimension value, then click OK. This prevents automatic display of the Modify dialog box that is used for inputting new dimension values. 4. Click Smart Dimension on the Dimensions/Relations toolbar. The pointer changes to. 5. Click the top edge of the rectangle, then click where you want to place the dimension. The vertical line at the right changes from blue to black. By dimensioning the length of the top of the rectangle, you fully defined the position of the rightmost segment. You can still drag the top segment up and down (first click Smart Dimension indicates that it is under defined. to turn the tool off). Its blue color 6. Be sure Smart Dimension is selected and click the right edge of the rectangle, then click to place its dimension. The top segment and the remaining vertices turn black. The status bar in the lower-right corner of the window indicates that the sketch is fully defined. 3

5 Changing the Dimension Values In this section you change the dimensions. 1. Double-click one of the dimensions. The Modify dialog box appears. The current dimension is highlighted. 2. Set the value to 120, then click. The sketch changes size to reflect the new dimension. The dimension value is now 120mm. 3. Click Zoom to Fit on the View toolbar to display the entire rectangle at full size and to center it in the graphics area. 4. Double-click the other dimension and change its value to Click Zoom to Fit again to center the sketch. Extruding the Base Feature The first feature in any part is called the base feature. You create this feature by extruding the sketched rectangle. 1. Click Exit Sketch on the Sketch toolbar. The Extrude PropertyManager appears in the FeatureManager design tree (left panel), the view of the sketch changes to trimetric, and a preview of the extrusion appears in the graphics area. 2. In the PropertyManager, under Direction 1: Select Blind in End Condition. Set Depth to 30. 4

6 3. Click OK to create the extrusion. The new feature, Extrude1, appears in the FeatureManager design tree and in the graphics area. 4. If you need to zoom to view the entire model, press Z to zoom out or press Shift+Z to zoom in. 5. Click the plus sign beside Extrude1 in the FeatureManager design tree. Sketch1, which you used to extrude the feature, is listed under the feature. Saving the Part Now, you save the part. 1. Click Save on the Standard toolbar. The Save As dialog box appears. 2. In the File name box, type Tutor1 and click Save. The extension.sldprt is added to the filename, and the file is saved. File names are not case sensitive. That is, files named TUTOR1.sldprt, Tutor1.sldprt, and tutor1.sldprt are all the same part. 5

7 Sketching a Boss To create additional features on the part (such as bosses or cuts), you sketch on the model faces or planes, then extrude the sketches. You sketch on one face or plane at a time, then create a feature based on one or more sketches. 1. Click Hidden Lines Removed on the View toolbar. 2. Click Extruded Boss/Base on the Features toolbar. 3. Move the pointer over the front face of the part. The pointer changes to face is available for selection., and the edges of the face become highlighted to show that the 4. Select the front face of the part. A sketch opens on the front face of the part. The Sketch toolbar commands appear in the CommandManager. 5. Click Circle on the Sketch toolbar. The pointer changes to. 6. Click near the center of the face and move the pointer to sketch a circle. Click again to complete the circle. Dimensioning and Extruding the Boss To establish the location and size of the circle, add the necessary dimensions. 6

8 1. Click Smart Dimension on the Dimensions/Relations toolbar. 2. Select the top edge of the face, select the circle, then click a location for the dimension. 3. Double-click the dimension, set the value to 60 in the Modify dialog box, and click to dimension the circle to the top edge of the face. 4. Repeat the process to dimension the circle to the side edge of the face. Set this value to 60. 7

9 5. Still using Smart Dimension, select the circle to dimension its diameter. Move the pointer around to see the preview for the dimension. When the dimension is aligned horizontally or vertically, it appears as a linear dimension; if it is at an angle, it appears as a diameter dimension. 6. Click a location for the diameter dimension. Set the diameter to 70. The circle turns black, and the status bar indicates that the sketch is fully defined. 7. Click Exit Sketch on the Sketch toolbar. The Extrude PropertyManager appears. 8. In the PropertyManager, under Direction 1, set Depth to 25, leave the other items at the defaults, and click OK to extrude the boss feature. Extrude2 appears in the FeatureManager design tree. Creating the Cut Create a cut concentric with the boss. To complete this, you create a sketch of the cut and dimension it. Next, you add relations to center the sketched circle on the boss. Finally, you extrude the cut. First, sketch and dimension the cut. 8

10 1. Click Shaded With Edges on the View toolbar. Occasionally a toolbar is longer than the length of your screen. If this occurs, click the arrows at the end of the toolbar to access the hidden toolbar buttons. 2. Click Extruded Cut on the Features toolbar. 3. Select the front face of the circular boss. 4. Click Normal To on the Standard Views toolbar. The part is turned so that the selected model face is now facing you. 5. Sketch a circle near the center of the boss as shown. Click Smart Dimension on the Dimensions/Relations toolbar, and set the diameter of the circle to 50. Next, add a concentric relation. 6. Click Add Relation on the Dimensions/Relations toolbar. The Add Relations PropertyManager appears. 7. Select the sketched circle (the inner circle) and the edge of the boss (the outer circle). The selections appear under Selected Entities. 8. Under Add Relations, click Concentric. Concentric0 appears under Existing Relations. The inner and outer circles now have a concentric relation. 9. Click OK. 9

11 Next, finish the cut. 10. Click Exit Sketch on the Sketch toolbar. The Cut-Extrude PropertyManager appears. 11. In the PropertyManager, under Direction 1, select Through All in End Condition. 12. Click OK. 13. Click Trimetric on the Standard Views toolbar. 14. Click Save on the Standard toolbar to save the part. You created the hole as a cut-extrude feature. However, you can also create holes using the Hole Wizard. Rounding the Corners In this section you round the four corner edges of the part using a fillet feature. Because the fillets all have the same radius (10mm), you can create them as a single feature. First you change several display options to make it easier to see what happens as you create the fillets. 1. Click Options on the Standard toolbar. 2. On the System Options tab, click Display/Selection. 10

12 3. Under Hidden edges displayed as, select Solid. This option makes it easier to see hidden lines when you use the Hidden Lines Visible view. 4.
