before starting the solid works user
0:04
interface how you can customize it we
0:07
will first learn some of the benefits of
0:12
using the solid works you can also visit
0:15
my website macn nexus.com and you can
0:19
visit this solid works tutorials tab
0:22
where I have written so many tutorials
0:25
on solid works where you can follow the
0:28
step by step guide to model the
0:32
parts if you like my method of teaching
0:35
then you can also support me on kofi.com
0:38
you can buy me a cup of coffee your
0:42
small support will help these channels
0:44
to grow and it will motivate me to
0:47
create more awesome content on solid
0:49
works so let's come back to our
0:55
tutorial so solid works is a one of the
0:58
most popular computer eded design
1:01
program which is owned by the deol
1:05
system the first benefit of a using a
1:08
solid works is it is a very user
1:12
friendly and it is very easy to learn as
1:15
compared to other CAD modeler like uh
1:19
Creo ktia unigraphics
1:25
Etc solid works is a parametric in
1:28
nature paramet metric modeling involves
1:31
when you modify the model then dependent
1:35
features of the model automatically get
1:39
updated so that is the parametric
1:41
modeling in a simple terms third benefit
1:45
of using solid works is a assembly
1:47
capabilities assembly features in a
1:50
solid works are very rich you can use
1:53
Smart constraint to assemble the part
1:58
and you can easily modify the constraint
2:01
as
2:02
well fourth benefit of using solid works
2:05
is a comprehensive design tools it
2:08
offers the varieties of a design tool
2:11
for creating various geometric shape
2:15
surfaces and
2:17
features either you are designing a
2:19
sheet metal part well made mold design
2:22
or uh any other complex part you will
2:25
find the tools
2:27
to create your part simulation and and
2:31
Analysis is a also a very powerful tool
2:36
inside the solid works you can do the
2:38
varieties of analysis in a solid works
2:42
like uh stress analysis thermal analysis
2:45
and fluid
2:48
flow next benefit of using solid works
2:52
is integration with the other softwares
2:55
you can
2:56
integrate solid works with the PDM which
2:59
which is a stand for the product data
3:01
management and Erp
3:05
softwares and next benefit of using
3:07
solid works is a large user Community
3:10
solid works is a very popular cat tool
3:13
therefore its user base is very huge you
3:18
will find lots of good tutorials
3:20
articles on solid works if you search
3:23
over the YouTube you will find the
3:25
thousands of a video on solid
3:28
Bo next next benefit of using the solid
3:32
works is a drawing and
3:34
documentations you can create very
3:36
awesome drawing for
3:38
manufacturing using the solid works and
3:42
next benefit is a library of standard
3:46
components solid works comes with a
3:48
toolbox where you will get the
3:52
standards components for your assemblies
3:55
like a screw bolt nut washer
4:00
and uh sprocket and mechanical component
4:04
like gear which you can easily model
4:07
inside the solid works next benefit of a
4:11
solid works is continuous development
4:14
and if you see the previous version of a
4:17
solid works like a five years back
4:20
version and current version then you
4:22
will find the lots of a difference solid
4:25
works is uh getting smarters day by day
4:29
and uh in every release they are adding
4:31
the features to the solid works so this
4:35
is a very small introduction about the
4:38
solid works and uh what are the benefit
4:40
of using solid works now we will uh
4:44
learn the user interface of a solid
4:46
works once you install the solid works
4:49
you will get a user interface like
4:53
this now if you go to the tools and the
4:57
option sections then you will find the
5:00
customization setting as we have not
5:03
created any files so here the option
5:06
which we will get is a system options
5:10
like here the journal
5:13
tab I recommend to keep the sitting as
5:16
it
5:17
is until and unless
5:21
you you are very confident about
5:24
to what you are doing else if you have
5:28
misconfigured the solid work setting
5:29
then you will have the reset options by
5:33
which you can reset your solid work
5:35
setting so we will quickly overview this
5:39
what are the options so first one is the
5:41
recent documents so maximum recent
5:44
document displayed is a 50 so you can
5:46
change the number of a recent documents
5:49
for example if I go to the file sections
5:52
then here you will get the recent
5:54
documents so this is the up to the 50 if
5:57
you want to increase or decrease the
6:00
number change the values it will get
6:03
changed then next is the input Dimension
6:07
value tick mark is show Single command
6:10
per click it is up to your choice so go
6:13
with all this uh tick mark options and
6:18
uh uncheck it if you do not require
6:22
it now here in a customization options
6:26
we will do some parallel customization
6:28
when we will
6:30
go in depth of uh solid works course and
6:35
from here I will uh only explain some UI
6:41
related
6:42
settings for example the
6:45
colors so here you will get the option
6:49
of colors and here you will see the
6:53
background color so background color is
6:55
light if I select on a dark and I find I
6:59
say apply so you can see that uh my
7:02
solid works background changed to the
7:05
dark now I will again go to the option
7:08
sections I will go to the colors and
7:12
again I will switch to the
7:17
light so you can see that background
7:19
color has been changed now again I will
7:21
go to the option sections so color here
7:25
you can change the background color and
7:27
here you can also select the
7:30
color
7:32
settings now next one is a display so
7:36
here hidden
7:38
ages solid or Dash when we will do the
7:41
modeling then you will have better
7:46
understanding now next important is a
7:49
performance so
7:51
here is a transparency
7:55
level and here is
7:58
a curvature Generations you can slide it
8:02
to the lower side or upper
8:05
side then file locations file locations
8:09
here if you go here you will find the
8:11
multiple file locations for example here
8:14
is a drawing templates if you want to
8:17
create your own template then you can
8:19
simply add here and this is the path
8:22
where your templates are the
8:27
stored next one is a import ort and
8:29
Export
8:32
options so solid work customization
8:35
setting is a very vast so these are the
8:38
some major option related to the systems
8:41
now we will uh create one file so once
8:45
you click on the file you will have the
8:48
three options you wanted to create a
8:50
part assembly or drawing so obvious we
8:54
will start with the part modeling
9:00
so here is a part is loaded now if I go
9:06
in a setting
9:11
options so you will also find here the
9:14
options under the tools and shortcut is
9:17
given here if I click on it then we have
9:21
seen the system setting now it is a
9:23
documents properties so this is the doc
9:26
documents properties is basically
9:29
if you are using the part then you will
9:32
get here part properties if you are
9:34
using a drawing then you will get a
9:35
drawing
9:36
properties so
9:38
here in a part sections you will get the
9:42
standard of the drafting like ISO NC
9:46
Dean so depends upon your standards in
9:50
your
9:51
country then you can choose it from the
9:54
here if you are from us then you can
9:57
choose this NC and if you are from the
9:59
European Zone then you can select this
10:03
ISO now here is a load from the external
10:06
files it is a
10:09
setting that you can import for example
10:12
if you are using a solid works
10:15
2023 and you have upgraded to the solid
10:18
works
10:19
2023 or 2024 then simply you can import
10:25
your file here the second one is The
10:28
annotation options here is the arrow
10:31
options for example if I select a plane
10:35
and create a
10:36
sketch and uh I create a
10:44
rectangle and I select this horizontal
10:47
line and give the
10:51
dimensions so here you can customize the
10:55
arrow options
10:59
go to the document properties so in The
11:01
annotation settings you will get the
11:03
balloom dats dimensional properties like
11:07
AR Len chamers table de expert material
11:12
properties Etc so this is the documents
11:17
properties for your part
11:21
now we will see once we start doing the
11:24
part modeling at that time I will
11:27
customize the sum of the settings so
11:29
that that you will have the better
11:30
understanding now I close this
11:34
part and uh I click on the creating a
11:39
drawing so once you click on a create a
11:42
drawing then you will have the options
11:46
to select the template which comes with
11:49
the solid works installations else if
11:52
you have your own template then you can
11:56
browse it from here and open it now now
12:00
I will uh select this A3
12:04
ISO and here you will get option to the
12:07
place the drawing which I'm not
12:10
placing because we have not created any
12:13
model so we will go to the setting
12:16
options so here we will go to the D uh
12:19
documents properties and
12:23
here you can
12:25
uh change the customization setting you
12:29
want for example if I go to the
12:30
dimension if I click on the angle so you
12:33
will find the lots of uh optimization
12:37
for the
12:39
angle if you expand on the table then
12:42
you will get the table it is related to
12:46
the sheet metals and Views
12:50
Etc now for the drawing if you click on
12:53
the properties here then you will have
12:56
the options to create a first angle or
13:00
third angle of
13:01
projections now I will close
13:04
it now I create again and I select this
13:10
assembly and from here we have options
13:14
to insert the part in our assembly which
13:17
I am not doing I will go to the setting
13:22
options go to the document properties
13:25
then you will have the options of a
13:29
related to the assembly documents so
13:33
most of the setting you will find common
13:35
in a part and
13:38
uh drawing and
13:40
assemblies now I close
13:43
it
13:46
now if
13:48
I see here everything is blank but at
13:52
the right hand side you will have the
13:54
multiple options you can connect with a
13:56
3D experience you can click on this book
14:01
icon you will have the design library
14:04
and if toolbox is
14:06
installed in your solid works version
14:10
then you can simply add your toolbox
14:13
here and uh here you will see
14:18
the hardware Library depends upon your
14:21
country locations as I am from India so
14:24
I can easily access Hardware libraries
14:30
now from here have you will have the
14:33
file explorer options from where you can
14:36
open the
14:39
files you will have the drawing options
14:42
here where you can place the drawing
14:45
view you will have the appearance
14:47
options here where you can apply the
14:51
colors now let's uh click on a part so
14:57
once you start creating a part then you
15:00
will find the number of a
15:02
tabs on the first tab it is a features
15:06
so here are the features which are
15:08
hidden because we have not created
15:11
anything inside our parts so let's
15:14
select on a front plane and create a
15:16
sketch and uh select this rectangle tool
15:20
and create a
15:22
rectangle we will not give any
15:26
Dimensions I will press contr + 7
15:29
to place it in a isometric view now I
15:33
will select the sketch and click on the
15:35
extrude
15:36
options and click on okay so now you can
15:40
see that once I created the first
15:43
features rest of the tools got activated
15:46
here so here is a feature tool Sketcher
15:49
surface sheet
15:52
metals and evaluate option where you can
15:55
measure the
15:57
dimensions now
15:59
if I go on a features Tab and if I click
16:01
on here then you will find here the tabs
16:06
options for example here I do not want
16:09
sheet metal so I will uncheck it so you
16:12
can see that uh sheet metal is removed
16:16
if I wanted to add the sheet Metals then
16:18
I simply click on it then tools will get
16:22
added here so from here you can add the
16:25
tools or remove the tools
16:30
now let's click on the file properties
16:33
so here is a file properties where I
16:38
can give the title
16:41
subject I can fill the properties
16:43
related to my parts and we will create a
16:46
drawing of this part we can import this
16:49
file properties on our
16:53
drawing and here you will have the
16:56
options to
16:59
pin or unpin if I wanted
17:03
to make my this file sections pin then I
17:08
can simply pin
17:10
it and here is a rebuild options if you
17:13
have modified your part then you can use
17:16
this rebuild options to rebuild your
17:20
part and here I have added the sheet
17:23
Metals which is added here I can simply
17:26
drag it and place is at the position for
17:30
example if I want to it to
17:33
the left hand side I can place it if I
17:37
want it to the top side then I can place
17:40
it here as well so tools are very
17:45
flexible you can place it anywhere you
17:49
want so this is all about this
17:53
lecture solid
17:55
works uses solid works benefits and how
18:00
it is uh very easy to learn as compared
18:05
to other 3D modeler and we have also
18:07
understood the solid works basic user
18:09
interface when we will go in further
18:12
lectures then we will understand solid
18:15
works in a better way so this is all
18:17
about this lecture thank you for
18:19
watching and thank you for your valuable
18:22
time
