Week 3.

First solidworks sketching!

Part 1: lines

Warming up with drawing a horizontal line from origin using "line" tool, adding dimensions using "Smart Dimension".

Part 2: circle

Using the circle tool to create circle FROM ORIGIN.

Part 3: drawing a part + checking the mass

Sketching the part using "Line", adding dimensions and then extrude the part to give thickness. Determining the mass.

 Part 4: Editing dimensions

Go back into "Sketch" mode and change the dimensions.

Part 5: Edit thickness

Enter "Edit Feature" to change the thickness.

Part 6: Another part+ select materials

Same way, new part. Adding dimensions for circles and angles are tricky and frustrating until I figured out how to do it/ asked for help. Selecting materials from hundreds of materials in the list after done extruding the part. 

Part 7: And another part.

Much quicker process since I've figured out how to add dimensions and using tools (relations/ space bar/ zooming/ rotating/ editing). "REMEMBER TO START FROM ORIGIN" heard this from lecturers and tutorial videos repeatedly until its stuck in my head when sketching...

Part 8: Circular part

Using circle tool, smart dimensions, construction lines, circular sketch pattern, extrude, and edit material to complete this part. 

And lastly, uploading to my one drive.

Organized.

Learnt some super basic skills, excited to learn more!

Struggled a lot when dimensioning the circles and angles, clicking on everything until I found the way and then forgetting it few minutes later. Next time.... I'll just ask for help.
