Competencies for Lesson 2 You develop the following competencies in this lesson: Engineering: Develop a 3D part based on a selected plane, dimensions, and features. Apply the design process to develop the box or switch plate out of cardboard or other material. Develop manual sketching techniques by drawing the switch plate. Technology: Apply a windows based graphical user interface. Math: Understand units of measurement, adding and subtracting material, perpendicularity, and the x-y-z coordinate system. Active Learning Exercises — Creating a Basic Part Use SolidWorks to create the box shown at the right. The step-by-step instructions are given below. Create a New Part Document 1 Create a new part. Click New on the Standard toolbar. The New SolidWorks Document dialog box appears. 2 Click the Tutorial tab. 3 Select the Part icon. 4 Click OK . A new part document window appears. Base Feature The Base feature requires: Sketch plane - Front (default plane) Sketch profile - 2D Rectangle Feature type - Extruded boss feature Open a Sketch 1 Click to select the Front plane in the FeatureManager design tree. 2 Open a 2D sketch. Click Sketch on the Sketch toolbar. Confirmation Corner When many SolidWorks commands are active, a symbol or a set of symbols appears in the upper right corner of the graphics area. This area is called the Confirmation Corner . Sketch Indicator When a sketch is active, or open, a symbol appears in the confirmation corner that looks like the Sketch tool.
