To illustrate how to sketch lines, we will sketch the following shape. Note that the sketch is fully defined, and so SOLIDWORKS will show it filled in with black after it's been sketched. Also, take note of the relations and dimensions shown in the following image; the dimensions are in millimeters:
Let's go ahead and start constructing the shown sketch. To do that, we will go through two stages: outlining and defining.
In the outlining stage, our aim will be to draw a rough outline of the final shape. Here, we will not pay much attention to dimensions or relations. We will follow these steps in the outlining stage:
- Start ...
