Detail Drawing

Just as we did with the 'Offset Shaft' drawing, we'll reinforce how to create

new drawings, add views, import dimensions, move and format annotations, etc.

We'll also learn how to use the Property Tab Builder to quickly and efficiently add

custom properties, and a new type of view called "Broken-Out Section," used to

look inside an area of the model without making a section view.

22.1. -The first thing we are going to do is to add several custom properties to the

'Worm Gear Shaft' 30 model, including Material, Weight, Description ("Shaft with

hex drive") and "MyName" as before.

A quick way to add custom properties to a model is by using the "Custom

Properties Tab" located towards the bottom of the Task Pane. When used for the

first time we need to create a new template with the properties we want to add to

a model, drawing, or assembly file, but once we have made our custom templates,

adding properties to a file is very quick.

Select the "Custom Properties Tab." To create a new template, press the

"Create Now ... " button to launch the "Property Tab Builder" program separately

from SOLIDWORKS.
