Solid Works Exercise

The document provides instructions for creating a 3D model of a disc for an Oldham's coupling assembly using SolidWorks. The model is created by first sketching and dimensioning a circle, then extruding it to form the base feature. Additional extruded features are added by sketching and trimming lines on the face of the base, then extruding into the model. The completed part is saved.
