Create an A-size Drawing Template. Project Situation As the designer, your responsibilities include developing drawings that adhere to the ASME Y14 American National Standard for Engineering Drawing and Related Documentation Practices. The foundation for a SolidWorks drawing is the Drawing Template. Drawing size, drawing standards, units and other properties are defined in the Drawing Template. Sheet Formats contain the following: border, title block, revision block, company name, logo, SolidWorks Properties and Custom Properties. You are under time constraints to complete the project on schedule. Create a SolidWorks custom Sheet Format. Import an existing AutoCAD C-size drawing. Create a custom C-size Drawing Template and an A-size Drawing Template. A-Size Drawing Template with SolidWorks Sheet Format C-Size Drawing Template with Imported AutoCAD Sheet Format PAGE 1-3 Drawing Template and Sheet Format Drawing and Detailing with SolidWorks 2001/2001Plus Project Overview You will perform the following tasks in this Project: • Create an empty C-size Drawing Template. • Import an AutoCAD drawing and save the drawing as a C-size Sheet Format. • Create a C-ANSI-MM Drawing Template. • Combine the empty Drawing Template and the Sheet Format. • Create an empty A-size Drawing Template. • Modify an existing SolidWorks A-size Sheet Format. • Create an A-ANSI-MM Drawing Template. • Combine the empty Drawing Template and the Sheet Format.

PAGE 1-5 Drawing Template and Sheet Format Drawing and Detailing with SolidWorks 2001/2001Plus Engineering Drawing and Related Documentation Practices Drawing Templates in this section are based upon the American Society of Mechanical Engineers ASME Y14 American National Standard for Engineering Drawing and Related Documentation Practices. These standards represent the drawing practices used by U.S. industry. The ASME Y14 practices supersede the American National Standards Institute ANSI standards. The ASME Y14 Engineering Drawing and Related Documentation Practices are published by The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, New York, NY. References to the current ASME Y14 standards are used with permission. ASME Y14 American National Standard Revision of the Standard Standard Name Engineering Drawing and Related Documentation ASME Y14.100M- Engineering Drawing Practices DOD-STD-100 1998 ASME Y14.1-1995 Decimal Inch Drawing Sheet ANSI Y14.1 Size and Format ASME Y14.1M- Metric Drawing Sheet Size and ANSI Y14.1M 1995 Format ASME Y14.24M Types and Applications of ANSI Y14.24M Engineering Drawings ASME Y14.2M Line Conventions and ANSI Y14.2M (Reaffirmed 1998) Lettering ASME Y14.3M- Multiview and Sectional View ANSI Y14.3 1994 Drawings ASME Y14.5M – Dimensioning and Tolerancing ANSI Y14.5-1982(R1988) 1994(Reaffirmed 1999) Only a portion of the ASME Y14 American National Standard for Engineering Drawing and Related Documentation Practices are presented in this book. Information presented in Projects 1 - 5 represent sample illustrations of a drawing, view and or dimension type. The ASME Y14 Standards Committee develops and maintains additional Drawing Standards. Members of these committees are from Industry, Department of Defense and Academia. PAGE 1-6 Drawing and Detailing with SolidWorks 2001/2001Plus Drawing Template and Sheet Format Companies create their own drawing standards based upon one or more of the following: • ASME Y14 • ISO or other International drawing standards • Older ANSI standards • Military standards Of course there is also the “We’ve always done it this way” drawing standard or “Go ask the Drafting Supervisor” drawing standard. PAGE 1-7 Drawing Template and Sheet Format Drawing and Detailing with SolidWorks 2001/2001Plus Drawing Template The foundation of a SolidWorks drawing is the Drawing Template. Drawing size, drawing standards, company information, manufacturing and or assembly requirements, units and other properties are defined in the Drawing Template. The Sheet Format is incorporated into the Drawing Template. The Sheet Format can contain border, title block and revision block information, company name and or logo information, Custom Properties and or SolidWorks Properties. Create a custom Drawing Template. SolidWorks starts with a default Drawing Template. Select the No Sfheet Format. Create a custom Sheet Format from the default drawing template. The default SolidWorks Standard Sheet Format is A-Landscape. A-Landscape Note: The ASME Y14.1-1995 Decimal Inch Drawing Sheet Size and Format and ASME Y14.1M-1995 Metric Drawing Sheet Size and format standard define the sheet size specification in inch and metric units respectively. Drawing Size refers to the physical paper size used to create the drawing. The most common paper size in the U.S. is A size: (8.5in. x 11in.). The most common paper size internationally is A4 size: (210mm x 297mm). The ASME Y14.1-1995 and ASME Y14.1M-1995 standards contain both a horizontal and vertical format for A and A4 size, respectively. The corresponding SolidWorks format is Landscape for horizontal and Portrait for vertical. Drawing sizes A through E are predefined in SolidWorks. Drawing sizes F, G, H, J & K are User Defined in the No Sheet Format drop down list. Metric drawing sizes A4 through A0 are predefined in SolidWorks. Metric roll paper sizes are User Defined in the No Sheet Format drop down list. PAGE 1-8
