Beginner's Guide to SOLIDWORKS 2019- Level I

After opening the 'Side Cover' we have a dynamic preview of the part in the

assembly following the mouse cursor. Locate it next to the 'Housing' as seen in the

next image. Don't worry about the exact location; it will be located accurately in the

next steps using mates.

Keep in mind that we can manipulate the view (zoom, pan, rotate) just like

in a part, even while adding new components to the assembly.

23.1 0. - Notice that after adding the 'Side Cover' to the assembly, its name is

preceded by a (-) in the FeatureManager; this means that the part has at least one

unconstrained (free) degree of freedom. Since this part was just added, all six

degrees of freedom are unconstrained (free) and the part can move in any direction

and rotate about all three axes.
