Introduction to SolidWorks 2009SolidWorks 2009 – The InterfaceProfessional Development Service for Teachers4
Introduction to SolidWorks 2009SolidWorks User InterfaceThe first thing that you notice about the SolidWorks user interface is that it looks like Microsoft Windows . That is because it is Windows!The SolidWorks 2009 (UI) is designed to make maximum use of the Graphics area for your model.Displayed toolbars and commands are kept to a minimum. Commands are accessed in SolidWorksthrough the drop-down menus, Context sensitive toolbars, Consolidated toolbars, or theCommandManager tabs.Menu Bar ToolbarThe Menu Bar toolbar contains a set of the most frequently used tool buttons from the Standard toolbar.The available tools are: NewSave- Creates a new document, Open- Saves an active document, Printlast action, Rebuild- Opens an existing document,- Prints an active document, Undo- Rebuilds the active part, assembly or drawing, Options- Reverses the- Changessystem options, document properties, and Add-Ins for SolidWorks.Menu Bar MenuClick the SolidWorks name in the Menu Bar toolbar to display the default Menu Bar menu. SolidWorksprovides a context-sensitive menu structure. The menu titles remain the same for all three types ofdocuments: part, assembly, and drawing but the menu items change depending on which type ofdocument isactive. The default menu items for an active document are: File, Edit, View, Insert, Tools, Window,Help, and Pin.Note: The Pinoption displays both the Menu Bar toolbar and the Menu Bar menu.Professional Development Service for Teachers5
Introduction to SolidWorks 2009Drop-down / Pop-up Context ToolbarCommunicate with SolidWorks eitherthrough the Drop-down menu or thePop-up Context toolbar. The Drop-downMenu from the Menu Bar toolbar or theMenu Bar menu provides access to various commands. When you select,(Click or Right-click) items in the Graphics area or FeatureManager,Context toolbars appear and provide access to frequently performedactions for that context.Note: Context toolbars are available for most commonly used selections.Keyboard ShortcutsSome menu items indicate a keyboard shortcut. SolidWorks conforms tostandard Windows conventions for shortcuts such as Ctrl O forFile, Open; Ctrl S for File, Save; Ctrl X for Cut; Ctrl C for Copy;and so on. In addition, you can customize SolidWorks by creating yourown shortcuts.CommandManagerThe CommandManager is a context-sensitive toolbar that automatically updates based on the toolbaryou want to access. By default, it has toolbars embedded in it based on your active document type.When you click a tab below the CommandManager, it updates to display that toolbar. Example, of youclick the Sketch tab, the Sketch toolbar is displayed. The default tabs for a part document are: Features,Sketch, Evaluate, DimXpert, and Office Products.Below are illustrated CommandManagers for a default Part document for both Sketch and Feature tabs.Professional Development Service for Teachers6
Introduction to SolidWorks 2009FeatureManagerThe FeatureManager design tree is a unique part of the SolidWorks softwarethat employs patented SolidWorks technology to visually display all of thefeatures in a part, assembly, or drawing.As features are created, they are added to the FeatureManager. As a result, theFeatureManager represents the chronological sequence of modeling operations.The FeatureManager also allows access to editing the features and objects thatit contains.The Part FeatureManager consists of four default tabs:FeatureManager, PropertyManagerand DimXpertManager, ConfigurationManager,.Heads-up View ToolbarSolidWorks provides the user with numerous viewoptions from the Standard Views, View,and Heads-up View toolbar.The Heads-up View toolbar is a transparent toolbar that isdisplayed in the Graphics area when a document is activeThe following views are available:Zoom to FitZooms the model to fit the Graphics area.Zoom to AreaZooms to the areas you select with a bounding box.Previous View. Displays the previous view.Section ViewDisplays the cutaway of a part or assembly using one or more cross section planes.View Orientation Select a view orientation or the number of viewports fromthe drop-down menu.Display Style.
