Saving a body as a partĪ relative view lets you create a new view where you can choose the orientation of the planes. This method creates too many part files for my taste, so we’ll go with door number two. The first method will create a new part that is linked to the original weldment, so it will get updated when the weldment sketches are updated. Create a Relative View for each part or for a set of parts.Right click a cut list item and select Insert into New Part.There are basically two possible ways of creating drawings for each part: The standard way of creating a drawing for a weldment will result in something like this: Basic weldment drawing Two options I just designed a frame for a side table to show you how it works. Or, like they did at my last assignment, make some of the sections in-house while outsourcing others. Suppose you have a few complex members in your design. If you can’t wait, here’s a video by GoEngineer on the weldment basics. Some day in the future I will write a massive article on the major features of the weldments toolbox. No mention of weldments yet) SolidWorks 2000 (I did find this PDF file on the new features of SolidWorks 2000 though, they include polygons, crop views and stacked balloons. The blogs that wrote about the introduction have probably vanished already. I couldn’t even find references to weldments being introduced in SolidWorks, so this functionality seems to be in there for long time. A single drawing will usually suffice.īut sometimes, you just want to create a detailed drawing for one or more weldment sections. You can quickly sketch, build up and redesign complex frames made from standard pipes and beams. Once you have learned how to use weldments, you will wonder how you have done without them for so long. Note: An updated version of this post can be found here.
