A Step-By-Step Guide
This packet will lead you through how to use the software program SolidWorks.
In this packet, you will find screenshots, step-by-step tutorials, and example
projects. I hope this packet will help you learn more about 3D Parametric
Modeling using the program SolidWorks.
Intro to Engineering
Meadville Middle School
Mr. Boyle
Getting Started
This page will show you how to open up SolidWorks and
create a new Part File.
What is Fully-Constrained?
You will notice when you add enough
dimensions, the lines of your sketch will turn
from blue to black. This indicates your sketch is
fully constrained. This means there are no more
dimensions needed and every dimension in
that sketch has been defined.
Extrusions
Now that you have created your first 2D Sketch, we will now
make an Extrusion which will add depth and make it a 3D part.
Step One - Create a Sketch
Begin by creating a sketch using the rectangle tool like we did in the last tutorial.
