Join Gabriel Corbett for an in-depth discussion in this video Drawing revisions, part of SOLIDWORKS 2012 Essential Training.
Revisions are best handled at the part level, and we link our drawings…to that part revision.…The custom properties of the part will generally have some revision property…that we can fill out.…From there we need to make sure our drawing template is linking to that property.…Once we have a revision, we might also want to add a revision table that says,…what has been changed and at what stage.…We have a part here that doesn't have any revision data in it at all.…So we are going to do a little review and add a revision to it. And we'll go back…here to the part and click on the File Properties at the top, and click here and…we want to go to the Revision.…
That's all we are going to add to this one and we are going to add Revision A.…Click on OK, and now we have added that, let's go back to the drawing and we…should show up with Revision A.…Now we want to go up here and add a Revision table.…So anytime we are making a drawing change, we are going to put those…changes into the table.…Now most of the time when you start with a drawing table, we are just going to have --…

3/7/2012The course shows how to cut and revolve holes into parts and use the Hole Wizard tool to generate industry standard holes like counter bores, counter sinks, and taps. Best practice for designing parts is emphasized throughout the course as well as methods for creating parts faster and easier using equations, mirroring, and patterning tools. The course wraps up with generating manufacturing-ready drawings complete with an itemized Bill of Materials. As a bonus feature, Gabriel shows how to photo render a final design. Exercise files are included with the course.
