If you have any questions, please reach out to us at Computer Aided Technology. How to Change Scale in AutoCAD using the Scale Command. Hopefully you found this dimensioning technique beneficial. Simply click on the dimension, choose the ‘Leaders’ tab in the PropertyManager for the dimension and choose the diameter or radius button. Lastly, if you created the dimensions this way, and created a radius dimension instead of a diameter, or vice versa, you can change how it is displayed. This double dimension technique is not restricted to just revolve feature sketches.
Once you create the revolve feature from this sketch, the system will automatically add the diameter symbol. Here, you will notice that there is not a diameter symbol. We will then select the other lines we want to dimension to, and create those dimensions, same as the first. Depending on what type of dimension was created, an ‘R’ or ‘D’ will show up at our pointer. To go even further, if we have multiple dimensions to create, they can be created without selecting the centerline each time. However, if we move the mouse to the far side of the centerline before clicking to place the dimension, it will change to the diameter dimension. The reasons for doing this may be: If an. If we then click to place the dimension on the near side of the centerline, this would give us the radius value. This video outlines the steps needed to change the template of an existing part to a different part custom template. In this example, we will select the centerline and one of the vertical lines, as our dimension selections.
However, there is a way to create the diametric dimension, if you have a sketch with a centerline in it (acting as the axis of revolution in this case). If you know the diameter, that is some pretty easy math to do. Since we are working with only one side of the centerline in this case, dimensions to the centerline are the radius value. mostly for fun, but i also feel like it's good exercise.When creating revolved features in SOLIDWORKS, our sketch must not cross the axis of revolution.

I'm a professional engineer with 10 years of experience, and every once in a while i'll open an old textbook and just model exercises. that experience helps when modeling unfamiliar parts. modeling the same part twice allows you to learn to find more efficient ways to model the same part. repeatedly modeling parts, is a good way to learn the process. i would probably remodel it! not because it needs to be, but because i like modeling. but once you get to a stage where drawings are being made and parts are being built, you want to follow the right protocols and make sure you have a "robust" model that won't cause any issues or errors.Īlso. here you can be a little "loose" in your modeling.

Right hand side bottom icon to change units. "cutting corners" isn't the phrase, but let's say you're working on a concept, just laying the foundation for a project. i feel like part of being a good designer is knowing how to cut corners when it doesn't matter, but to know that there is a correct process to follow when it matters. the importance and criticality of the project. granted these are extreme case scenarios i'm using here, but if you accidentally suppressed the "scale" feature and exported the file to a manufacturer, or if you collaborate with someone on a project and they aren't aware of the need of the scale feature, this could cause some problems.Īt the end of the day you just weigh the time it takes to "do it right" vs. The only reason i say this is because the scale feature, if accidentally suppressed or disabled or if it fails somehow, can ruin the part.
