All 3D Parametric modeling packages requires a great deal of 2D sketching and sketch relations.

In SOLIDWORKS, relations between sketch entities and model geometry, in either 2D or 3D sketches, are an important means of building in design intent.

In this Solidworks course:

• You will gain understanding of 2D Sketching.

• Mastery of Sketch Relations.

• Be able to level up to part modeling and assembly creation with high confidence that you have mastered the very fundamentals of 2D sketching.

Why master 2D sketching?

In the context of CAD, all 3D parametric objects usually starts out as 2D sketches.

When creating technical drawings your 2D sketches ends up very similar to your final drawings.

2D sketches holds the very foundation of your 3D model and 2D drawings.

Why master sketch relations?

Relations are the tools that binds and reinforces your sketched geometry.

In a typical machine, relations are like the nuts and bolts the holds the assembly together.

Without sketch relations all of our sketched geometries are loose and unstable.

In addition it helps define the sketch entities by relating them to other sketch entities. Sketch relations can be either added or assumed in Solidworks through built in features.

By the end of this course, you will have a solid foundation on 2D sketching and mastery of sketch relations in Solidworks
