LAYER 63 BLOCK 65 They are used by companies in the machinery, medical, consumer, tool and die, electrical and power sectors, and by suppliers to the aerospace and automotive industries.

It allows manufacturers to virtually define, plan, create, monitor and control all production processes, from the early process planning and assembly simulation to a complete definition of the production facility and equipment. It is an online environment that involves creators, collaborators and consumers in the product lifecycle. It enables users to deliver assembly procedures, technical illustrations, and marketing materials using 3D images and other 3D data that remain compatible with other products.

Exalead is a global provider of information access software for the enterprise and the Web. The latest version of Solidworks was released on 19th September, as Solidworks SolidWorks partners with third party developers to add functionality in niche market applications like finite element analysis, circuit layout, tolerance checking, etc.

Initially based in Waltham, Massachusetts, United States, Hirschtick recruited a team of engineers with the goal of building 3D CAD software that was easy-to-use, affordable, and available on the Windows desktop. It provides access to all commands that the Solid Works offers. When a menu item has a right pointing arrow, it means there is a sub-menu associated with the choice, 3.

Provide shortcuts enabling to quickly access the most frequently used commands. They are organized according to function and can be customized, removed and rearranged according to your preferences. It is located on the left side of the Solid Works Graphic window.

It displays the details chronological sequence on how all the parts, assembly and drawing are created. It allows access to do editing of the models. It consists of three default tabs: 1. Feature Manager Design tree 2.

Property Manager 3. Select items in the model by name. Identify and change the order in which features are created. You can drag items in the Feature Manager Design tree list to reorder them. This changes the order in which features are regenerated when the model is rebuilt. Rename items by slowly clicking two times on a name to select it and then entering a new name.

Suppress and Unsuppressed part features and assembly components. The Property Manager appears on the Property Manager tab in the panel to the left of the graphics area. It opens when you select entities or commands defined in the Property Manager. Zoom to area Zooms in on a portion of the view that you select by creating a Bounding box. Place the cursor where you want the one corner of the box to be. Drag the cursor diagonally to the opposite corner of the bounding Box. Release the cursor. The image enlarges proportionally to the size of the bounding box.

To resize the image back to fit the screen, select Zoom to Fit. Rotate View Dynamically turns the part or assembly image around a view center As you move the mouse. Not for drawings. You can also use the keyboard arrow keys to rotate the image. Pan Dynamically moves the image. Press and hold the left mouse button while moving the cursor around on the screen.

Hidden Displays only those lines that are visible at the angle the model is Lines rotated. Obscured lines are removed Removed A perspective view is the most normal view as seen by the eye or a camera. Parallel lines recede into the distance to a vanishing point. Perspective may be used in combination with any of the view modes.

Starting a New part It can be created in inch, millimetre or other units 2. Sketches Collections of 2D geometry that are used to create solid features 3. Sketch Relations Geometric relationships such as horizontal and vertical are applied to the sketch entities. The relations restrict the movement of the entities 5. State of the sketch Each sketch has a status that determines whether it is ready to be used or not.

The state can fully-, under- or over defined 6. Extruding the sketch Extruding uses the 2D sketch to create a 3D solid feature Points are aligned horizontally or vertically. Collinear Two or more lines The items lie on the same infinite line. Cordial Two or more arcs The items share the same center point and radius.

Perpendicular Two lines The two items are perpendicular to each other. Parallel Two or more lines The items are parallel to each other. A line and a plane or The line is parallel to the selected plane.

Concentric Two or more arcs, or a The arcs share the same center point. Midpoint Two lines or a point The point remains at the midpoint of and a line. Intersection Two lines and one The point remains at the intersection point. Coincident A point and a line, arc, The point lies on the line, arc, or ellipse. Equal Two or more lines or The line lengths or radii remain equal. Symmetric A centerline and two The items remain equidistant from the points, lines, arcs, or centerline on a line perpendicular to the ellipses.

Fix Any entity. However, the end points of a fixed line are free to move along the infinite line that underlies it. Also, the endpoints of an arc or elliptical segment are free to move along the underlying full circle or ellipse. Merge Points Two sketch points The two points are merged into a single or endpoints.

Once the line is drawn horizontally, it will remain horizontal unless the relation is removed. The line can be repositioned and resized but must remain horizontal. For an instance: The line is in Horizontal The line is in vertical The lines are in horizontal and have equal length The Sketch Tools toolbar and the Tools, Sketch Tools menu provide the following tools: Convert Entities creates one or more curves in a sketch by projecting an edge, loop, face, external sketch curve, external sketch contour, set of edges, or set of external sketch curves onto the sketch plane.

Available in an active part or assembly document only. Mirror creates copies of sketch elements by are mirroring them around a centerline. When you create mirrored elements, a symmetric relation is applied between corresponding pairs of sketch points the ends of mirrored lines, the centers of arcs, and so on. If you change a mirrored element, its mirror image also changes. Offset Entities creates sketch curves offset from a selected model edge, loop, face, external sketch curve, external sketch contour, set of edges, or set of external sketch curves by a specified distance.

An offset entity relation is created between each original entity and the corresponding sketch curve. If the entity changes, when you rebuild the model the offset curve also changes. You can also add some types of features to assemblies. Some features originate as sketches; other features, such as shells or fillets, are created when you select the appropriate menu command and define the dimensions or characteristics that you want.

An extrude operation can either add material to a part in a base or boss or remove material from a part in a cut or hole. The following table describes the End Condition tab of the Extrude Feature dialog box and the various options for extruded bosses and cuts. Through All Extends the feature from the sketch plane through all existing geometry. Up to Next Extends the feature from the sketch plane to the next surface, or set of surfaces, that intercepts the entire profile.

The next surface must be on the same part. Up to Surface Extends the feature from the sketch plane to the selected surface. Offset from Extends the feature from the sketch plane to a Surface specified distance from the selected surface. Offset from Extends the feature from the sketch plane to a surface, specified distance beyond the selected surface. Depth specifies the total depth, not the depth in each direction.

Up to Vertex Extends the feature from the sketch plane to a plane that is parallel to the sketch plane and passing through the specified vertex.

You can fillet all edges of a face, selected sets of faces, selected edges, or edge loops. When several fillets converge at a vertex, create the larger fillets first. If you are creating a molded or cast part with many filleted edges and drafted surfaces, in most cases you should add the draft features before the fillets.

Try to add cosmetic fillets after most other geometry is in place. If you add them earlier, it takes longer to rebuild the part. Be aware however, that when you change the radius of that fillet, all the fillets created in the same operation change. You can insert a draft in an existing part or draft while extruding a feature. You can draft using either a neutral plane or a parting line.

You place a hole on a planar face, then specify its location by dimensioning it afterwards. In general, it is best to create holes near the end of the design process. This helps you avoid inadvertently adding material inside an existing hole. A four-sided boundary need not be rectangular, and each side may consist of a single segment or a set of tangent segments.

You can either use an existing plane or create a new one. If you modify the original feature, the mirrored copy is updated to reflect the changes. A loft can be a base, boss, cut, or surface. You create a loft using two or more profiles. Only the first, last, or first and last profiles can be points. All sketch entities, including guide curves and profiles, can be contained in a single 3D sketch. It adds material of a specified thickness in a specified direction between the contour and an existing part.

You can create a rib using single or multiple sketches. Sketch L shape and extrude the sketch. Sketch a Line to use as the rib feature on a plane. If you do not select any face on the model, you can shell a solid part, creating a closed, hollow model. You can also shell a model using multiple thicknesses. They can be dragged and dropped from an open part window or opened from standard browser. Others components can be positioned after they are added.

Mates remove degrees of freedom from the components. Autodesk is headquartered in San Rafael, California, and features a gallery of its customers' work in its San Francisco building. The company has offices worldwide, with U. Autodesk software has been used in many fields, from the New York Freedom Tower to Tesla electric cars. Autodesk became best known for AutoCAD but now develops a broad range of software for design, engineering, and entertainment as well as a line of software for consumers, including Sketchbook, Homestyler, and Pixlr.

The company makes educational versions of its software available at no cost to qualified students and faculty through the Autodesk Education Community, and also as a donation to eligible nonprofits through TechSoup Global. Autodesk's digital prototyping software, including Autodesk Inventor, Fusion , and the Autodesk Product Design Suite, are used in the manufacturing industry to visualize, simulate, and analyze real-world performance using a digital model during the design process.

The company's Revit line This tool allowed users to create detailed technical drawings, and was affordable to many smaller design, engineering, and architecture companies. Release 2. This opened the door for third party developers to extend AutoCAD's functionality, to address a wide range of vertical markets, strengthening AutoCAD's market penetration. In the s, with the purchase of Softdesk in , Autodesk started to develop specialty versions of AutoCAD, targeted to broad industry segments, including architecture, civil engineering, and manufacturing.

Since the late s, the company has added a number of significant non-AutoCAD-based products, including Revit, a Developed and marketed by Autodesk, AutoCAD was first released in December as a desktop app running on microcomputers with internal graphics controllers. AutoCAD is used across a wide range of industries, by architects, project managers, engineers, graphic designers, and many other professionals. However if you look at the upper left hand corner there is a button with the letter A written in red.

That is called the application menu of the AutoCAD software. This means that the active workspace is 3D modeling.
