ADVANCED 2-D SKETCHING

In the first Computer Graphics Lab, you used some of the basic 2-D sketching capabilities of
SOLIDWORKS. These first exercises concentrated on using items that were available on the
sketching toolbars. You learned how to draw a Line, Circle, Rectangle, Arc, Polygon,
Centerline, and Spline. You also learned how to edit the 2-D sketch using Dimensions, Trim,
Mirror, Fillet, and Chamfer functions. In this Computer Graphics Lab 2, you will learn some
more advanced 2-D sketching and editing features that are available in the vast SOLIDWORKS
menu structure.
SKETCH ENTITY MENU
The sketch entities shown under the sketch tab are not
the only ones available. Many of the icons have a
small down arrow next to them. Each of these icons
have additional options available for your use. These
entities are also accessible under the Tools –
Sketch Entities and are shown in Figure 2-1.
Here you can find the following 2-D sketch entities:
Line
Rectangles (several options)
Parallelogram
Slots (several options)
Polygon
Circle
Perimeter Circle
Centerpoint Arc
Tangent Arc
3 Point Arc
Ellipse (several options)
Partial Ellipse
Parabola
Spline
Spline on Surface
Point
Centerline

have a chance to use each of them somewhere in one
of your exercises.

SKETCH TOOLS MENU

All of the 2-D sketch editing functions are found under the Sketch Tab. On this menu you will
find the following common editing functions:

Fillet is used to round a corner with a radius.

Chamfer is used to cut a corner at an angle.
Offset Entities is used to create another exact copy
at a linear distance away.
Convert Entities converts an entity from an earlier
feature to the current sketch.
Trim cuts away a piece of the entity.
Extend extends an entity to meet another entity.
Mirror copies a pattern around a centerline.
Dynamic Mirror first select the entity about which
to mirror and then sketch the entities to mirror.
Jog Line moves a piece of the line up or down in a
rectangular shape.
Construction Geometry converts entities to
construction geometry or the converse.
Linear Sketch Pattern creates a rectangular array
(row X column) of identical entities (see Figure
2-3).
Circular Sketch Pattern creates a radial (or polar)
array of identical entities around a center point
(see Figure 2-4).
Align is used to align a sketch and a grid point. Figure 2-2. The Sketch Tools Menu.

Exercise 2.1: METAL GRATE

In Exercise 2.1, you will design a Metal Grate. The function of a metal grate is such that many
identical slots are cut through it. Instead of drawing each slot separately, you will use an
advanced sketching feature of SOLIDWORKS and create a rectangular array of these slots. Then
you can simply extrude a base to create the beginning grate feature.

Start by going to your folder and Open the file ANSI-METRIC.prtdot because the dimensions
of the Metal Grate are in Metric units. Immediately SAVE AS – METAL GRATE.sldprt.
You will not need a grid for this exercise. Go to Tools – Options - Document Properties
and click the Grid/Snap tab and make sure the “Display Grid” function is not checked (√) on,
then click the OK button. Click the Front plane in the Feature Manager for the sketch plane.

Now activate the Sketch Tab and click the Sketch (pencil) icon to start your sketch. You will
first draw two Rectangles. The first one is the large outline of the grate and the second one is
the initial small rectangular slot that eventually will be arrayed. Refer to Figure 2-5 below for
applying each Dimension. The overall size of the grate is 280 mm by 195 mm, and it is
centered about the origin with its other two dimensions (140 and 97.5). The small slot is 20 mm
by 35 mm and is 30 mm below the top and 30 mm to the right of the upper left corner. Note:
After all the dimensions are applied, the lines turn black. This means that the geometry is
completely fixed and constrained. Using the fillet command, add 3mm fillets to the four
corners of the small rectangle.

Figure 2-5. The Beginning Dimensions for the Metal Grate Centered at the Origin.

Computer Graphics Lab 2

Now select the Linear Sketch Pattern icon in the sketch entities toolbar or pull down Tools;
select Sketch Tools and then pick the Linear Pattern option. The “Linear Pattern Repeat”
menu pops onto the screen. The Entities to Pattern box at the bottom of the menu is prompting
you to select the lines and fillets of the small rectangle. The settings for this rectangular array
operation are shown in Figure 2-6 below. “Direction 1” is horizontal and will have 6 repeats.
The horizontal spacing is 40 mm and the angle is 0 degrees. To activate “Direction 2” change
the number of repeats to 3. You will then be able to change the vertical spacing to 50 mm and
the angle to 270 degrees. Notice that as you make adjustments to the linear table a Preview of
the operation is shown before it is officially executed. If it is correct, click the OK button to
complete the array. You should have a 6 x 3 array of slots that now can be extruded. You will
have to click on the arrows to the left of the Y-axis button
under Direction 2 to make the boxes drop below and onto the
metal grate. Your pattern preview should look like the image

Distance 1 = 5 mm
Then click the green (√) check to close the menu. You will
now have the base solid model of the grate, as shown in Figure
2-8 in a Trimetric view.
The next step for the Metal Grate is to add a lip to the metal
grate in order to provide a support when attached to the wall air
duct. Click on this front surface of the Metal Grate. It should
highlight blue. Then click on the Sketch tab and select the

sketch edit icon (it looks like a cube

with a blue vertical edge). The outer
lines now become part of your active
sketch. Notice that they are all black
lines since the geometry is already
fixed.

Now click the top converted line (it

turns cyan) and then click the Offset
Entities icon (it looks like two bent
parallel lines). Key in the offset value
of 15 mm and make sure the Select
Chain box is checked (√). If the 15

original lines and then click the green
(√) checkmark to create the offset, as shown in Figure 2-10. Also, notice that the offset
command places a small 15 mm dimension on your sketch to indicate the offset value. You
could now simply click on that dimension directly, key in a new dimension value, and instantly
change the offset to a new value. But for now leave it at 15 mm. Fillet the inside corners of the
offset pattern to 5mm as shown in Figure 2-10.
Before you perform the Extrude command you may want to go to an Isometric view in order to
see which direction you are extruding. Select the Features icon and select Extrude. When the
Extrude menu appears, key in the following parameters:
Type of Extrusion = Blind
Distance 1 = 5 mm
Click the green (√) check to
complete the boss.

Computer Graphics Lab 2

Now you need to add four attachment holes to the corners of the grate. Select the raised rim (it
will turn blue). Click on the Sketch Tab and activate the Sketch icon and draw a Circle in
the upper left corner. Use the Dimension values supplied in Figure 2-11 for the circle
diameter (8 mm) and position from the corner (9mm x 9mm).
Now draw three more Circles in the other three corners. Dimension them to have the same
diameter (8) and same relative position (9 x 9) from each corner. Or, now that you are an expert
with a rectangular array, use the Linear Sketch Pattern operation instead. If you use this
function, then the horizontal distance of the 2 items is 262 mm and the angle is 0 degrees. The
vertical distance of the 2 items
is 177mm and the angle is 270
degrees. Either way, when you
are finished you should have
circles at the four corners and
click the green (√) check to
execute the Linear array.

Change your viewpoint to a

Trimetric view. Now activate
the Features icon and select
Extruded Cut. Select the
extrude type to be Through
all and click the green (√)
check to execute the cut. The
four corner attachment holes
are now created on the grate. Figure 2-11. The Dimension Values for the Small Holes.

The part is now complete and

you can view the lip feature
more clearly by using the
Rotate View icon as shown
in Figure 2-12.

If you would like to change

the color of your model, click
on the model name in the
Feature manager tree and then
select the colored ball in the
menu bar. You can then
assign any color you wish to

Exercise 2.2: TORQUE SENSOR

In Exercise 2.2 you will design a Torque Sensor casing. Since it is a circularly symmetrical
object, you will employ some of the advanced editing features like circular array. Go to your
folder and Open the file ANSI-INCHES.prtdot, and immediately SAVE AS – TORQUE
SENSOR.sldprt. Select the Tools, Options, Document Properties menus and Select
“Grid/Snap.” Make the following settings on this menu: “Major grid spacing” = 1.00,
“Minor lines per major” = 4. Also go to System Snaps and make sure “Display Grid” and
the “Snap” functions are checked (√) on, then click the OK button. Make sure the Units are in
Inches. Then click OK.

The circular features of the Torque Sensor

are on the top and bottom surfaces. But the
main body is also round and can be created
by a 360 degrees revolution of a profile that
has been drawn on a frontal plane. So click
on the Front plane in the Feature Manager
tree. Click on the Sketch Tab and select the
Sketch Icon and the sketching grid appears
with minor grids spaced every 0.25 inches.
Also make sure you are viewing this from the
Front view orientation.

First draw a Centerline vertically through

the origin. Next, use the Line tool to sketch
the completely enclosed profile that is
depicted in Figure 2-14. This design will
yield a part that is 2.50 inches tall and 4.00
inches in diameter on the top and bottom Figure 2-14. The Initial Lines to Revolve
surfaces. for the Base Part.

Go to the Features tab and Select the

Revolved Boss/Base icon. Make sure
that the centerline is selected for the Axis of
Revolution. Key in the full revolution value
of 360° and click the green (√) check to
perform the revolution. The circular base
part appears as shown in Figure 2-15 in an
Isometric view.

The next design step is to create a circular

array of eight holes around a bolt circle on
the top surface of the part. Figure 2-15. The Base Part after the
Revolution.

2-8
 2-D Computer Sketching II

Click on the top surface of

the part and it should
highlight blue. Also select a
Top view orientation. Then select
the Sketch icon. Draw a Circle
that is 3.25 inches in diameter, and
make sure you select “for
construction” in the feature
manager tree. Then draw a
horizontal center line from the
origin and to the right. The
intersection of these two entities
defines the center of the first of
eight holes, thus resulting in a
radius of 1.625. Or you can go to
the Document Properties menu
and on the Grid/Snap tab change

to 8, thus resulting in a one-eighth
inch grid. Also on the Units tab
change the decimal places to 3. Click OK and the grid
should now be updated to the new values. Now locate
the center of the first Circle on the grid and draw it
with a diameter of 0.25. Use Figure 2-16 to aid you.

Select the circle (it should highlight blue). Click on

the down arrow next to Linear Sketch Pattern to
select the Circular Sketch Pattern option. The
“Circular Pattern” menu appears on the screen.
Referring to Figure 2-17, set the parameters for this
circular array. The “Radius” is 1.625 from the center
(0,0). The “Step Number” is 8 for a “Total angle” of
360°. The spacing is “Equal” checked (√) on. Click
Preview to see if everything is correct, and then click
the OK button. You now have a bolt circle of 8 holes
as previewed earlier in Figure 2-16. You are now
ready to cut these holes through the entire base part.

Switch to the Shaded model mode and to an

Isometric view to better see the next operation.
Select the Features tab and select Extruded Cut.
On the “Cut Extrude” menu select Through all for
the direction and click the green (√) check to execute
the cut extrusion all the way through the model. Use Figure 2-17. The “Circular

model. If so, then the model is complete
as shown in Figure 2-18.

If you would like to change the color of

your model, click on the model name in
the Feature manager tree and then select
the colored ball in the menu bar. You can
then assign any color you wish to the
model.

You should now save your model. Pull

Exercise 2.3: SCALLOPED KNOB

In Exercise 2.3, you will design a Scalloped Knob that has some complicated geometry around its
edges. This particular knob design will be a hexagon type. Since the hexagonal features are
equally spaced around the center of the knob, you can use a circular array function.

Start by going to your folder and Open the file

ANSI-INCHES.prtdot and immediately
SAVE AS – SCALLOPED KNOB.sldprt.
Go to TOOLS – OPTIONS – DOCUMENT
PROPERTIES and change the UNITS to three
decimals. Select the Front plane for the
sketch. Then start a new Sketch. Complete
the initial geometry of the sketch according to
Figure 2-20. Using the Line tool, draw two
vertical lines and cap them off with a horizontal
line that touches their top ends. Fillet the top
two corners with a 0.10 radius. Use the
Dimension tool to completely fix the
geometry by applying the dimensions shown in
Figure 2-20. Include dimensions that relate to
the origin. When the geometry is fixed, all lines
turn black.

Now array this pattern in a circle to form a

hexagonal layout. There is a pull-down Figure 2-20. The Initial Knob Geometry.
arrow next to the Linear Sketch Pattern.
When you select it you will see the Circular
Sketch Pattern option. The “Circular Pattern” menu appears on the screen. Set the “Step
Number” to 6 for a “Total angle” of 360°. The
spacing is “Equal” checked (√) on. Activate the
“Entities to Pattern” box and select the three
straight lines and the two fillets. Click
Preview to see if everything is correct, and
then click OK. You now have an array that is
the beginning of the sketch for the knob outline.
Notice that some of the lines may overlap as
can be seen in Figure 2-21. You may want to
trim the intersecting lines; however, that is not
necessary to complete the remainder of the
exercise.

Next, you will fillet the six sharp inner corners to

create the scallop effect. Pick the Fillet sketch
icon and key in a fillet radius of 0.45 in the
“Sketch Fillet” parameter box. Now pick two
intersecting lines. A large 0.45 radius is made and
a small dimension is attached to show the fillet
value. Repeat this filleting process on the
remaining five sharp inner corners. When you are
finished, your sketch should look like Figure 2-
22.

Select the Features tab and select Extruded

Boss/Base. Extrude the sketch to a Blind depth
of 0.375 inches. Click the green check (√) to
close the operation. When finished, view the part
in a Trimetric orientation as shown in Figure 2- Figure 2-22. The Finished Sketch after

Exercise 2.4: LINEAR STEP PLATE

In Exercise 2.4, you will design a Linear Step Plate used for linear motion control in machinery.
There are a lot of holes on this plate, and you will find the linear array and mirror functions to be
quite helpful. Start by going to your folder and Open the file ANSI-INCHES.prtdot;
immediately SAVE AS – LINEAR STEP PLATE.sldprt. Select the Right Plane as the
drawing plane and the Right view orientation to see it head on. Then start a new Sketch. Draw
a vertical centerline through the origin. Go to TOOLS – Sketch Tools, and Select Dynamic
Mirror. Now sketch the right half of the profile shown in Figure 2-27. Each line drawn on the
right side of the centerline will be duplicated on the left. Use the Dimension tool to set the
geometry by applying the dimensions shown in the Figure 2-27, including the dimension to the
origin.

Select the Features icon and select

Extruded Boss/Base. On the “Base
