Beginner's Guide to SOLIDWORKS 2019- Level I

2.29. -To make the circle horizontally centered in the part, we will manually add a

Vertical Relation between the center of the circle and the part's origin.

SOLIDWORKS allows us to align sketch elements to each other or to existing

model geometry (edges, faces, vertices, planes, origin, etc.). From the

"Display/Delete Relations" drop-down icon, select "Add Relation" or use the

menu "Tools, Relations, Add."

Select the circle's center (not the perimeter!) and the origin. Click on "Vertical" to

add the relation and make the circle's center vertical in relation to the origin. When

done click OK to finish. Adding this relation fully defines our sketch. Note the

origin's Vertical direction identified by the long red arrow. (The horizontal is the

short red arrow.)
