Beginner's Guide to SOLIDWORKS 2019- Level I

To make the extrusion, switch to an isometric view using the View

Orientation tool bar and select the circle of the previously made sketch. Be aware

that now we are editing the part, we left the sketch editing environment when we

exit the sketch. After the sketch circle is selected with the "lnstant3D" active, click-

and-drag on the arrow that appears in it; this is the handle to extrude the sketch.

You will immediately see a dynamic ruler that will show the size of the extrusion as

you drag it. Make sure to extrude it 0.250". When you release the handle, a new

extrusion will be created. To modify this (or any other) extrusion, select the front

face of the extrusion and drag the handle to a new size.

You can control the size of the extrusion with more precision by dragging

the handle over the ruler's marks; this way the handle will snap to the

markers.

The smaller step in the ruler is controlled by the default increment in the spin

box settings. Go to the menu "Tools, Options, Spin Box Increments." For

convenience, we have set the length increment to 0.125" for English units

and 2.5mm for metric units.
