Detail Drawing

17.24. - SOLIDWORKS will import the dimensions and annotations to all views,

attempting to arrange them automatically in the view that displays it better.

Dimensions are first added to Detail views, then to Section views, and finally

main views. The reason for this order is because Detail Views show smaller model

details, Section Views often show otherwise hidden features, and finally the main

views show the major features. While SOLIDWORKS does a good job adding

dimensions to views, they are not always added to the view that best displays it;

here is where we must do some work. Move the views to make room for the

dimensions as shown. Notice the dimensions attached to a view move with it.
