Solid Edge ST6 Training Creating detailed drawings

1. Solid Edge ST6TrainingCreating detailed drawings

2. Creating detailed drawings • Course OverviewThis course focuses on creating and editing drawings of 3D models. Upon completion of this course, you will be able to: • Create drawings • Add views to a drawing • Create dimensions • Create annotations • Place a parts list

3. Drawing view types • When working from a 3D model, you can create thefollowing types of drawing views: • Principal views • Auxiliary views (created using a fold line) • Detail views (dependent and independent) • Section views (created using a cutting plane line) • Broken views • Exploded assembly drawings • Custom views (for example, perspective) • Alternate position assembly drawing view

4. Drawing production workflow • Workflow to create a part drawing • Workflow to create an assembly drawing • Using the Drawing View Creation Wizard • Simplified mode • Step-by-step mode • Saving and reusing drawing view formats by model type • Specifying a drawing view preview type (VHL or extent box) • Adding drawing views to the document • Creating drawing views from a model dragged onto a sheet

5. Drawing sheets, properties, and formatting • Opening and saving draft documents • Drawing sheets • Defining drawing standards • Drawing view manipulation • Drawing view updates • Drawing view properties

6. Drawing views activities • Activity: Drawing view placement • Activity: Assembly drawing creation • Activity: Quicksheet • Activity: Broken view creation • Activity: Broken-out section creation

7. Types of dimensions • Types of dimensions: • Linear dimensions • Angular dimensions • Diameter dimensions • Radial dimensions • Class fit dimensions • Smart Dimension and other dimension commands • Dimension groups • Using locked dimensions to control elements • Locking and unlocking dimensions • Locked (driving) dimension color (black/white) • Unlocked (driven) dimension color (dark cyan)

8. Placing and editing dimensions • Placing dimensions • Snapping to keypoints and intersection points • Placing dimensions with the dimension axis • Relationship Assistant • Editing 2D dimensions (selection, locked, not-to-scale) • Tracking changed dimensions and annotations • Track Dimension Changes command

9. Formatting dimensions • Adding breaks to dimension projection lines • Copying dimension data • Using the mouse scroll wheel to change dimensions • Using expressions in dimensions • Setting or modifying units of measure • Showing variability

10. Annotations • Types of annotations on this drawing: • Datum frames (geometric tolerance) • Feature control frames (geometric tolerance) • Surface texture symbols • Edge condition symbols • Center lines and center marks • Drawing notes (text boxes) • Auto-balloons on parts lists • Snapping to keypoints and intersection points (shortcut keys: M,I,C,E) • Adding leaders • Inserting and deleting vertices on leaders • Annotations and associativity • Formatting annotations • Saving annotations • Tracking changed dimensions and annotations

11. Parts lists • Using the Parts List command for assembly drawing views • Specifying the format using the Parts List Properties dialog box • Specifying the location on the Location tab • Using the Columns tab to define the parts list content • Specifying balloon formatting on the Balloon tab • Specifying the format of an exploded parts list • Auto-balloons on parts lists • Rearranging auto-balloons using an annotation alignment shape

12. Dimension, annotation and parts list activities • Activity: Retrieving and placing dimensions • Activity: Placing annotations • Activity: Placing a parts list
