SOLIDWORKS 2019 l CSWP Advanced l Drawing ToolsCHALLENGE 21. Opening an assemblydocument:- Select File / Open.- Browse to the Training Folderand open the assemblydocument namedPiston Assembly.sldasm.- In this Challenge, the orientationof the assembly has been changedto some oblique angle.You will need to come up witha way to find the correct angleand change the orientation ofthe assembly prior to makinga drawing.Top ViewIsometric View- Change to different view orientationssuch as the Front, Top, Right, andIsometric view to examine thedefault orientation of thisassembly.- The Top view will beused to correct theorientation of theFront Viewassembly.Remain in Isometric view.1-10Right View
SOLIDWORKS 2019 l CSWP Advanced l Drawing ToolsSketch face2. Creating a reference sketch:- Open a new sketch on the face as indicated.- We will need to rotate the Handle to the horizontalposition. There are several methods to find the currentangle of the Handle but we will go with creating areference sketch approach.- Sketch a centerline that is coincident with the 2 centersof the crank handle.Coincident withcenters of Crank- Sketch a horizontalcenterline and delete theHorizontal relation, so thatwe can add the angular dimensionwithout over defining the sketch.Delete theHorizontal relation1-11
SOLIDWORKS 2019 l CSWP Advanced l Drawing Tools- Add an angular dimension as shownto fully define this sketch.- Keep the default dimensionvalue at 58.685º.- Highlight the angular dimension and pressControl C to copy it to the clipboard.3. Modifying the view angle:- Click the Option button orselect Tools / Options.- Select the View option (arrow)and change the angle ofthe Arrow Keys to58.685º.1-12
SOLIDWORKS 2019 l CSWP Advanced l Drawing Tools- The upper surface of the CrankHandle should be rotated to aflat position first.- Click the face as noted andselect Normal-To (arrow).This option rotates theselected face perpendicular(flat) to the screen.Select face &pick Normal-To- Hold the Alt key and press theLeft arrow once, to rotate theview 58.685º downward.- The Crank Handle and its assemblyis now rotated to a horizontalposition.- We will save the new position asa named-view, or a custom view so thatwe could retrieve it in the drawing later on.1-13
SOLIDWORKS 2019 l CSWP Advanced l Drawing Tools4. Saving a new named-view:- Custom views can becreated and saved in themodel or in an assemblyso that they can bedisplayed in a drawing.- The views are saved inthe Orientation dialogand get carried over tothe drawing and listedon the Properties tree.- Press the Spacebar to bring out the Orientation dialog.- Click the New View button.- Enter: New Top View in theNamed View dialog and press OK.- The new view is saved and displayedin the Orientation dialog.- It would be much more difficult to use the original orientations to create the newdrawing views in a drawing. The New Top View will be used to create the otherdrawing views by projecting them along the vertical or horizontal directions.1-14
SOLIDWORKS 2019 l CSWP Advanced l Drawing Tools5. Making a drawing from assembly:- Select File / Make Drawing fromAssembly (arrow).- Select the Drawing template.- The default drawing (A-Size) isdisplayed.

SOLIDWORKS 2019 l CSWP Advanced l Drawing Tools7. Creating the projected drawing views:- New drawing views can now be projectedvertically or horizontally from the new view.- Switch to the View Layout tool tab and click the Projected View command- Select the dotted border of the Top view to startthe projection.- Move the mouse cursor downward to see the preview of theFront view. Place the Front view under the Top viewapproximately as shown.- Additionally, create an isometric view and position it similarto the one shown above.- Locate the Sketch1 from the Drawing tree and Show it1-17.
SOLIDWORKS 2019 l CSWP Advanced l Drawing Tools8. Adding reference lines:- Zoom in on the lower left corner of the drawing and select the Line commandfrom the Sketch tool tab.- Right click on the dotted border of the Front view and select Lock View Focus.This will make the new lines a part of the view. When the drawing view ismoved, the lines will also move.Sketch a Line &add a Fix relation- Sketch a vertical line starting atthe lower left corner of the border.- Add a Fix relation to the line sothat it will not move.- Sketch the second line to the rightside of the first line approximatelyas shown.- Add the 5.00 inches spacingdimension between the 2 lines.1-18
SOLIDWORKS 2019 l CSWP Advanced l Drawing Tools9. Converting an entity:- Remain in the Lock View FocusMode; this way the next entity willget converted into a line and belongsto the View, not the Sheet.- Select the vertical edge as notedand press the Convert Entitycommand from the Sketch tool tab.- The selected edge is converted toa line. When the drawing view ismoved, the line will move along.10. Adding a reference dimension:- The question is: how can we createa dimension between a line and anedge of a drawing view?- There are several ways to achievethis, and one approach is to lockthe View-Focus and add thereference lines.- Add a Driven dimension as shown.- Enter the dimension value here:inches.1-19Convert edge
SOLIDWORKS 2019 l CSWP Advanced l Drawing Tools11. Adding a Top drawing view:- Expand the View Palette.- Drag and drop the Top drawing view approximately as shown below.- Switch to the Sketch tab andsketch a line to the left side ofthe drawing view as shown.Parallel- Add a Parallel relation betweenthe sketch line and the centerlinein the middle of the crank handle.- This line will be used to create aSection view in the next step.1-20
SOLIDWORKS 2019 l CSWP Advanced l Drawing Tools- Click the Section View command (arrow)from the View Layout tab.- Place thesection viewon the upperleft side ofthe Topview.12. Locking a view focus:- Use Lock-ViewFocus to keepa drawing viewactive whileadding otherreferencegeometry.- The referencegeometry canbe measured toand from thegeometry of thedrawing view.- Right click the border of the newView; select Lock View Focus.1-21
SOLIDWORKS 2019 l CSWP Advanced l Drawing Tools- Sketch a new Line approximately as shown below.Sketch a Line- Select thehorizontalcenterlineand pressConvertEntities.Convert the horizontal Centerline- Add the twodimensionsshown.- Attach thedimensionsfrom the leftend of theconverted lineto the bottomendpoint ofthe sketched line.1-22
SOLIDWORKS 2019 l CSWP Advanced l Drawing Tools13. Adding an angular dimension:- The angular dimension will be used as the answer for this question.- Add an angular dimension between the sketched line and the left-most edge of thecrank handle.Add thisdimension- Enter the dimension value here:degrees.Summary:The key features to Challenge 2 are:- Creating the drawing views and finding the right orientations to assist withcreating the other drawing views.- Lock and Un-lock the View Focus so that reference geometry can be added formeasuring and locating other references.1-23
