Detail Drawing

17 .16. - In the drawing views we may or may not want to see the tangent edges of

a model. A tangent edge is where a curved face and a flat face have a tangent

transition, as in fillets. SOLIDWORKS has three different ways to show them:

Visible, With Font, or Removed. Right-mouse-click inside the Front view, and from

the pop-up menu select the option "Tangent Edge, Tangent Edges Removed."

Repeat for the Top and Right views. Optionally we can hold down the "Ctrl" key

and select different views to change their display state at the same time.

The differences between tangent edge display types are visible next.

"Tangent Edges Visible" shows all model edges with a solid line, "Tangent

Edges with Font" shows tangent edges with a dashed line, and "Tangent

Edges Removed" eliminates the tangent edges from the view.
