Engineering Design with SOLIDWORKS® 2018 Overview of SOLID WORKS® and the User Interface

Project 1 - Overview of SOLIDWORKS® 2018 and the User Interface

Project Objective

Provide a comprehensive understanding of the SOLIDWORKS® default User Interface

and CornrnandManager: Menu bar toolbar, Menu bar menu, Drop-down menu, Right-

click Pop-up menus, Context toolbars/menus, Fly-out tool button, System feedback icons,

Confirmation Comer, Heads-up View toolbar and more.

On the completion of this project, you will be able to:

• Utilize the SOLIDWORKS Welcome dialog box.

• Establish a SOLIDWORKS session.

• Comprehend the SOLIDWORKS User Interface.

• Recognize the default Reference Planes in the FeatureManager.

• Open a new and existing SOLIDWORKS part.

• Utilize SOLIDWORKS Help and SOLIDWORKS Tutorials.

• Zoom, rotate and maneuver a three button mouse in the SOLIDWORKS Graphics

window.

What is SOLIDWORKS®?

• SOLIDWORKS® is a mechanical design automation software package used to build

parts, assemblies and drawings that takes advantage of the familiar Microsoft®

Windows graphical user interface.

• SOLIDWORKS is an easy to learn design and analysis tool (SOLIDWORKS

Simulation, SOLIDWORKS Motion, SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation,

Sustainability, etc.), which makes it possible for designers to quickly sketch 2D and

30 concepts, create 30 parts and assemblies and detail 2D drawings.

• Model dimensions in SOLIDWORKS are associative between parts, assemblies and

drawings. Reference dimensions are one-way associative from the part to the drawing

or from the part to the assembly.

• The book is written for the beginner to intermediate user.
