Open solidworks and create a new part drawing. First of all, you need to understand that you need to choose the datum before drawing any sketch.
Select the datum plane, click the sketch command on the sketch toolbar to enter the sketch drawing interface and draw a basic sketch.
Secondly, be familiar with basic sketch editing commands, such as circle, ellipse, square, polygon and point.
Then, click on the function toolbar to familiarize yourself with the commands in the function toolbar. These are the feature editing functions of sketches, such as stretching, cutting, rotating and scanning.
Master the above, and you will officially get started with solidworks. You can already draw three-dimensional drawings, and even the complicated three-dimensional drawings cannot be separated from these basic operations.
Practice makes perfect.
In addition, the following are some practical tips about SolidWorks:
1. Press the space bar to pop up the shortcut menu. Double-click a view and the model will turn in a certain direction.
2. Use the command "Special-shaped hole guide rail" to make threaded holes, and only make the size of the holes; Decorate Thread: Insert-Comment-Decorate Thread Line command.
3. Press "CTRL" to add a selection.
4. Method of adding geometric constraints: Select the object and add the required constraint method in the Properties dialog box.
5. "Ctrl+Tab" key switches between model space and paper space.
6. Method of not displaying tangent: Select View-Right Click-Trim-Eliminate Trimmed Intersection.
7. Method of hiding the edge: Select View-Right Click-Edge-Hide Edge.
8. Press the "ART" key to drag the view to any position.
9. Set whether to display the centerline when inserting the view.
10. Dimension operations in the model (showing and hiding dimensions).
1 1, drawing transformation of the first angle and the third angle: right-click "Drawing" on the model tree-select an attribute and modify it in the attribute flying dialog box.
12. Automatically inserted dimensions move from one view to another: press and hold the SHIFT key to move dimensions.
13. Method of displaying temporary axis: View menu-Temporary axis.
14. Method of marking the distance from the tangent of an arc to a straight line: first select a straight line, and then hold down the SHIFT key to select an arc.
15. Symmetrical marking: the center line must be marked. When marking, you can select the center line first, and then select other lines.
16. Create an entity through an edge: first click an edge to select it, and then execute the command "Convert Entity Reference".
17. Stretching termination condition: "Forming to one side" is equivalent to stretching to a specified surface.
18. Step section and rotating section: first draw the position of the section plane in the drawing with the centerline command, select the centerline, and then execute the section view command or the rotating section command.
19. When drawing a rotating section, draw the rotating section first, and then draw the non-rotating section.
20. Method of making partial sectional view: First, make a projection view-the spline curve command draws the cutting range, and select the spline curve (showing all nodes)-click the crop view command.
2 1. Method of changing the height of characters and the size of arrows: Tools-Options-.
