Standard Starting a New Drawing Document From Within the Part/Assembly Document
This method is recommended when the part or the assembly document for which you want to generate the drawing views is opened. In this case, choose the Make Drawing from Part/Assembly button from the Standard toolbar of the part or the assembly document. If the SolidWorks warning box is displayed, choose the OK button. A new drawing document will be started and the Sheet Format/Size dialog box is displayed. Note that if you are using the advanced version of the New SolidWorks Document dialog box for starting new files, it will be automatically displayed when you choose the Make Drawing from Part/Assembly button. Select the available drawing template file from one of the tabs of this dialog box. A new drawing document will be opened. The Sheet Format/Size dialog box will be displayed only if you select the drawing template from the Templates tab. Doc

Generating the Section View of an Assembly

The Section View dialog box is displayed when creating a section view of an assembly, see Figure A. According to the drawing standards when creating the section view of an assembly, some components such as fasteners, shafts, keys, and so on should not be sectioned. Figure B shows section view of an assembly with some of the components excluded from the section scope.

Generating Aligned Section Views

Refer to Figure A to understand the concept of an aligned section view of a model. Choose the Aligned Section button from the Drawing CommandManager. The resultant section view will be projected normal to the line that is drawn in the end in the section sketch. Therefore, to get the aligned section view similar to that shown in Figure A, the inclined line in the section sketch should be drawn first than the vertical line. Figure B shows the aligned section view in which the vertical line in the section sketch is drawn first. On the other hand, Figure C shows the views in which the inclined line is drawn first.

Editing and Modifying The Drawing Views

In SolidWorks, you can perform various kinds of editing operations and modifications on the drawing views. All these operations are discussed next.

Changing the View Orientation

You can change the orientation of the views generated using the Model View or the Predefined View option. To change the orientation, select the view; the Model View PropertyManager is displayed in both the cases. Double-click on the view orientation that you want to be made current from the View Orientation rollout.

Changing The Scale Of The Drawing Views
