Ten 2D Drawings to Master 2D Sketching in Solidworks

Learn SolidWorks sketching basics by creating lines, arcs, and circles, applying center line and midpoint line constraints, tangents, symmetric relations, and precise dimensions to build clean 2D sketches.

Navigate to a sketch, insert a straight slot, circle, centerline, and lines, apply midpoints and equal dimensions, then extrude and perform an extruded cut to finish the first challenge.

Create the base triangle in SolidWorks by sketching construction circles, establishing concentric and vertical relations, converting diameter to radius, adding dimensions, and extruding the contour to 0.5.

Master the mirror command in SolidWorks by creating a half sketch, trimming and dimensions, then mirroring to complete the contour and extruding a 15 mm boss base.

Create the shaft connector by sketching in SolidWorks with IPSC units, using a centerline, defining constraints and dimensions, and applying the revolve feature for a rotated geometry.

Sketch lines, arcs, and a centerline to form a latch plate in solidworks, apply tangent and concentric constraints with dimensions, mirror geometry, and extrude a 0.5 thick boss to midplane.

Create a Geneva wheel by sketching circles, lines, and centerlines, applying a six-instance circular sketch pattern with symmetric constraints, then dimension and extrude the final solid in SolidWorks.

Sketch the connecting clamp by defining lines, an arc, and a circle; apply dimensions, equal and tangent relations, and align points, then extrude to one inch.

Create the rocker arm in SolidWorks using IBS units, sketch circles, arcs, and lines, apply tangent and concentric relations, dimension features, then extrude to finalize the part.

Create a pipe ring in SolidWorks by sketching circles, center lines, and arcs, applying tangency and equal constraints, then pattern the entities and extrude from the mid plane.
