Introduction To Sketching

This lesson introduces sketching in SolidWorks. Sketching involves creating 2D profiles using lines, arcs, circles and other geometric shapes on a plane or face. Key steps covered are: 1. Creating a new part file 2. Inserting a new sketch on one of the default planes (front, top, right) 3. Using sketch geometry like lines and arcs to create a 2D profile The profile created in the sketch will then be used to extrude a 3D solid feature. The lesson discusses the sketching tools and process for constructing and editing sketches to define the shape of features.
