Starting a new Sketch:Select the Front planefrom the FeatureManager tree andclick the Sketch iconto start a newsketch.A sketch is normallycreated first, relationsand dimensions areadded after, and thenit gets extruded intoa 3D feature.From the CommandManager toolbar,select the Linecommand.CommandManagerMouse GestureOPTION:Right-Drag to display the Mouse Gesture guide and select the Line commandfrom it. (See the Introduction section, page XVIII for details on customizing theMouse Gesture.)Hover the mouse cursorover the Origin point; ayellow feedback symbolappears to indicate arelation (Coincident)is going to be addedautomatically to the 1stendpoint of the line. Thisendpoint will be lockedat the zero position.Auto-Relationfeedback symbol3-6
SOLIDWORKS 2020 Basic Tools l Basic Solid Modeling – Extrude OptionsNote: There are 3 different ways to use the line tool: Single line, multiple connecting lines (MultiLines) and switching from a line into a tangent arc (Line-to-Arc).The following steps are examples to demonstrate how to use all embeddedfunctions of the Line command. We will delete the example and go back to thelesson on page 3-8.A. To sketch a single line, use the click hold dragmethod:With the Line tool already selected, click on theOrigin point to start the line (press and the mousebutton), drag the cursor upward, look for thevertical relation symbol, and release the mousebutton.Only 1 line is drawn; the mouse cursor is notconnecting to the last line.Start hereline 1Line 2B. To sketch multiple lines, use theclick release click method.Move the mouse cursor to the top end pointof the first line and click to start the line (do nothold the mouse button this time).Move the cursor to the right and look for theHorizontal relation symbol and click to completethe line.The next line is connecting to the previous line.Move the mouse cursor downward, look for thevertical relation symbol and click to completethe line.The next line is connecting to the previous line.3-7Line 3
SOLIDWORKS 2020 Basic Tools l Basic Solid Modeling – Extrude OptionsC. To change from a Line to a Tangent Arc,use the click release press A method.Start a new line at the bottom of the 3rd lineand drag the mouse cursor outward approx.as shown.MovedownwardD. Press once on the A key and then movethe cursor slightly to the left or to the right.The line is changed into a Tangent Arc.Move the cursor back and forth, up anddown to see how the Tangent Arc maintainsits tangent relation with the line that it isconnecting with.Press ABased on the starting point, the arcchanges its direction from negativeto positive when the cursor movespast its zero point.Move the mouse cursor towardsthe lower right side and click tocomplete the arc.

SOLIDWORKS 2020 Basic Tools l Basic Solid Modeling – Extrude Options4. Using the Click Hold Drag technique:Select the Line command and click at the Origin point and hold the mouse buttonto start the line at point 1, drag upwards to point 2, then release the mouse button.2Start the line from Point 1and drag to Point 2The Base SketchThe Base Sketch is thevery first sketch; it is theparent sketch of a partdocument.It should primarilydescribe the basic shapeof the part before otherfeatures can be added.1Continue adding other lines using the Click-Hold-Drag technique.The relations like Horizontal and Vertical are added automatically to each sketchline. Other relations like Collinear and Equal are added manually.The size and shape of the profile will be corrected in the next few steps.System FeedbackWhile sketching thelines, watch for theSystem FeedbackSymbols such asfor Horizontal, andforVertical AutoRelations.3-9
SOLIDWORKS 2020 Basic Tools l Basic Solid Modeling – Extrude Options5. Adding Geometric Relations*:Click Add RelationRelations / Add.under Display/Delete Relations - OR - select Tools /Select the 4 lines shown below.Click Equal from the Add Geometric Relation dialogbox. This relation makes the length of the four selectedlines equal. Geometric relations are one of the most powerful features in SOLIDWORKS.They’re used in the sketch level to control the behaviors of the sketch entities whenthey are moved or rotated and to keep the associations between one another.(When applying geometric relations between entities, one of them should be a 2Dentity and the other can either be a 2D sketch entity, a model edge, a plane, an axis, ora curve, etc.)Equal RelationsAdding the EQUALrelations to these lineseliminates the need todimension each line.Geometric relations can be createdmanually or automatically. Thenext few steps in this chapterwill demonstrate howgeometric relations are addedmanually.Select the top 4 lines andclick Equal relation.3-10The top 4 lines arenow Equal in size.
SOLIDWORKS 2020 Basic Tools l Basic Solid Modeling – Extrude Options6. Adding a Collinear relation**:Select the Add Relationcommand again.Select the 3 lines shown below.Click Collinear from the Add Geometric Relations dialog box.Click OK.Select the bottom 3 lines andclick Collinear relation.The bottom 3 lines aremoved to the same level.Collinear RelationsAdding a Collinearrelation to these linesputs them on the sameheight level; only onedimension is needed todrive the height of all 3lines.** Collinear relations can be used to constrain the geometry as follows:Collinear between a line and another line(s) (2D and 2D).Collinear between a line(s) to a linear edge of a model (2D and 3D).3-11
