We’ll also check the box to eliminate duplicate dimensions from being imported.
Dimensions that are not marked for drawingįor our example, we’ll choose to import dimensions that are marked for drawing, hole wizard locations, and hole callout information.There are seven different dimension options to choose from, which are as listed:
In this section, we’ll have the ability to choose the types of dimensions that will be imported from our model. Next up in the PropertyManager is the selection of the dimensions. We’re going to choose the entire model as the source, so that all of the dimensions and annotations from the model will be imported, rather than just dimensions and annotations from a single feature. With the Model Items tool selected, the PropertyManager will appear with several different options that we will run through, to bring in the driving dimensions, annotations, and reference geometry the way that we’d like.įirst, we’ll need to select the Source/Destination of our model items. The Model Items tool can be found within the Annotations tab in the CommandManager. This includes the front, top, and right profile views of the model.
However, in this post, we’ll be working specifically with just a 3D solid model, and import its dimensions and annotations into a drawing.īelow you’ll see a drawing with the three standard orthographic drawing views. Model Items can be used for inserting items into an assembly component, an assembly feature, a drawing view/views, and a selected feature. Have you ever had a newly created drawing that you’d like to dimension by importing from your sketches, features, and 3D model, but don’t want to manually add each dimension one at a time? Well then SOLIDWORKS has just the right tool for you! It’s the SOLIDWORKS Model Items tool, and it’ll speed up dimensioning time in your drawings and make annotations a breeze.
