what's up rocks here this is the third and last part of the solvers for absolute beginners
serious and in this video I'm going to walk you through on how to create a simple build
materials a lot about how to add the message to a part hey I'm Raza I've been using SolidWorks
profession for over 10 years and I like the 3d model things with intent of being manufactured
pairing drawings with your CAD models when it sets off to manufacturing gives the manufacture
another visual cue other than the CAD model this includes tolerances material type surface finish
pretty much any critical information the CAD model cannot provide now that you have your
assembly completed that's just to put it into a 2d drawing and create a bill of materials
and dimension each component to do that we're gonna go up put a file new drawing hit OK and
let's go into the top left and hit browse we're going to select the train body first to create
our bill of materials okay sure well rebuild it and if while we do that we're gonna like over it
it's like isometric we want the isometric view and let's give us some color shaded with edges
and we'll place that somewhere on the right if you have these blue origins that come up just
go up and to select the hide all types okay next is to create our table so go up to tables here
drop-down menu go to pillow materials and then we're gonna select the assembly keep everything
the same here hit OK and then we're gonna stab it to the top left for now we don't need the
part numbers we'll just keep the item number the description and quantity let's go up to here
right-click it and let's hide it hide column all right now what we want to do is we want to copy
that assembly hit ctrl C hit ctrl-v select it and we want to make a exploded view version like that
so I like to put that somewhere on the right bring this guy somewhere for here so you see the fully
assembled piece and the fully exploded piece now is we're going to add balloons balloons are going
to show what each item number is and how that reflects to the actual table so one way to do
is the auto balloons which is a quick way to do it you can do it that way that's the quickest way
to do it but I like to do it manually there's only seven parts so we can do it manually so
we just grab the edges of each piece and just arrange them in a way where it looks me okay
okay now that we have our balloons complete our tables done we'll move on to the next step and
the next step is to dimension each component but for this example and for the sake of time
we're just going to dimension the chimney now you want to go down here and select add a new
sheet and we'll just use the default landscape hit OK and it takes us to the new sheet and then
I like to go over here to the View palette and hit browse for selection and let's grab
the chimney hit OK and well first we'll grab a front view so just grab it from here bring
it to the middle and then exit click that again and I want to scale it up so use custom scale
will scale it too that's too big well scale a 5-1 okay it looks good exit and next I want to
create a I want to see what the inside is so what I like to do is I want to make a section view so
/ - few lay out hip view section hover over make sure the vertical cutting line is selected and
you see these nodes that pop up click that it's going to lock it right in the center hit OK and
pull it over to the right ok hit exit and now I want to make my isometric view as a reference
so I select this part hit project view and then slide 45 to the right so 45 degrees hit OK and
to move this bottom sketch I hold alt click the left Mouse down and move it to the right same
thing with the section view and then I'll move this guy over to the far right give it a color
are using shades and now we wanted to mention our piece but we're missing one more view and I like
to do the top view so let's just like that face project view and go straight up and you'll get
a top view and if you get these Center lines you can either select it and it exit out or you can go
to file options talking at properties detailing and deselect Center marks whole remove so then
when you insert a new part or do this project a sketch like how I do it again here it's no longer
visible so that's one way to remove that okay but we don't need that here but before we start
dimensioning one thing we need to do first is go to options hit document properties make sure we
set our drafting standard here to ANSI and hit OK and then next is to go down make sure that
we're in millimeters and if you're wondering well where do I start dimensioning one way to
cheat is to look go into the part file so right click open part go to the first feature drop down
right click Edit sketch hit f2 zoom up and you'll see these dimensions we're going to be pretty much
duplicating that in our drawing file so let's take a screen shot we would over somewhere to
the writer window to save as a reference okay exit out and now we can jump back into our
sketch so I'll usually leave it somewhere here on the side and have my snip a snippet tool or
screenshot somewhere on the right on my window so I can use that as a reference when dimensioning so
now let's go to smart dimension so now we know we have an outer diameter sudden overall height
sometimes they can be a little bit hard when you're trying to grab these sketches so one
thing to do is just kind of zoom up grandpa that way okay what else is left at this point
seven five point seven five overall four point five okay I think that covers our dimensions so
I just kind of quickly show you so this is kind of what I'm using as a reference to fully define
our sketch okay now is to go into the section view just move it over by holding alt hit smart
dimension again and we're gonna give this inside dimension of four that's automatic and a pop up
for you and grab the depth 2.5 and we also want to know this bottom hole depth so you can do it
here or you can do it here I find it easier just because to do it here just because it's either
C okay and that is our part fully defined I know creating draws can be a little tedious
and boring and in some cases it's an outdated approach however for me I create them simply
clear by the information that improves a user to understand maybe you're sending information to
someone that doesn't have cat experience what's gonna be easier for them having them figure out
how to pull up the cad model to find out the dimension or simply taking a quick glance at
a reference drawing PDF file I'm sure ten years from now drawers are gonna be a thing of the past
modern CAD and manufacture cables are changing that but for now you're still placed with them
anyways I hope this video was helpful if it was do me a favor and give it a like and subscribe
because it really helps me out and as always I will see you guys in the next video later
