SolidWorks^® 2014
Mechanical Drawings

Learn Documentation Best Practices!

The SolidWorks 2014: Mechanical Drawings course is much more than a course on drafting. It shows you how to customize tables, drawing templates, sheet formats, and much more.

The goal of this course is to help you speed the drawing development process while you take control over every detail of your drawings. From custom colors to custom title blocks, this course shows you how it's done.

It starts by showing you the standard way to create drawings, which uses default drawing templates and drafting standard. You'll learn how to set and define your drafting standard, which is a work in process throughout the course.

Next you'll begin the construction of your own custom drawing template. This starts with defining a custom border that prints correctly on our printer or plotter. Once you've adjusted your border you'll begin working on your title block.

Title blocks use title block fields to retrieve information about the part model and they can extract information from other sources like the drawing file itself. When you insert your first view of the part the title block fields are automatically populated with this information. There's a lot to learn about title block fields, but rest assured this course covers all the details in easy to understand steps. You will see all the steps and practice applying them while the instructor explains how everything works.

You can also use property tabs to fill in information in your title blocks. To do this you'll use the Property Tab Builder to build custom property tabs. Once you've defined custom property tabs you can use them for manual input. For example you can approve a drawing. This course shows you how it's done.

You'll practice adding all the view types while using all the dimension types to define the geometry. Along the way you'll learn best practices and sound procedures to assure your drawings are structurally sound.

This course is packed with tips and tricks that you help you produce professional looking drawings in the shortest time possible.
