Beginner's Guide to SOLIDWORKS 2019- Level I

23.15. - Looking at the Feature- I ~ Ass em 1 (Default< Display State-1 >)

Manager we can see that the 'Side ~ ~ History

Notice that the "Mates" folder ~ ~ (f) Housing < 1 > (Machined<< Default> _DisplayS·

added; SOLIDWORKS adds the

names of the mated components in

@ Concentric2 (Housing<1>,Side Cover<1>) -
each mate for reference. To get a

better view of the component's /\ Coincident1 (Housing< 1 >,Side Cover< 1 >)

names, we can change the width of

the FeatureManager as needed by dragging its edge.

@ IMPORTANT: If a (+) sign precedes a component's name in the

FeatureManager, you probably also received an error message alerting you

that the assembly had been over defined. If this is the case, it means you

added conflicting mates that cannot be solved, or inadvertently selected the wrong

faces or edges when adding mates.

The easiest way to correct this error is to either hit the Undo button

or delete the last mate in the "Mates" folder; you will be able to identify the

conflicting mate because it will have an error icon next to it and will be

colored either red or yellow. If multiple mates have errors, start deleting the last

mate at the bottom (the last mate added); chances are this is the cause of the

problem. If you still have errors, keep deleting mates with errors from the bottom

up until you clear all the errors. It's not a good idea to proceed with errors, as it will

only get worse.

23.16. - Now we are ready to add the

second 'Side Cover' to our assembly.

Repeat the "Insert Component"

command to add a second 'Side

Don't worry too much about the exact

location; in the next step we'll move

and rotate the part closer to its final

location.
