Part Template

Units are the measurement of physical quantities. Millimeter dimensioning and decimal

inch dimensioning are the two most common unit types specified for engineering parts

and drawings. The FLASHLIGHT project is designed in inch units and manufactured in

millimeter units. Inch units are the primary unit and Millimeter units are the secondary

unit.

Create two Part templates:

• PART-IN-ANSI

• PART-MM-ISO

Save the Part templates in the MY-TEMPLATES folder. System Options, File Locations

option controls the file folder location of SOLIDWORKS documents. Utilize the File

Locations option to reference your Part templates in the MY-TEMPLATES folder. Add

the MY-TEMPLATES folder path name to the Document Templates File Locations list.
