Prerequisite: Lesson 1

1. Watch the videos

Dassault Systèmes videos hosted on MySolidWorks: they open in a new tab and a free account is enough. Watch them in order.

Arranging Dimensions AutomaticallyVideo 1▶Arranging Dimensions AutomaticallyLet LEO organize and lay out the dimensions of a drawing view.↗ Creating Exploded ViewsVideo 2▶Creating Exploded ViewsExplode all or part of an assembly by specifying direction and spacing.↗ Creating Assembly InstructionsVideo 3▶Creating Assembly InstructionsGenerate the assembly sequence, review it, then export the instructions to PDF.↗

2. Key takeaways

1

LEO arranges the dimensions of a drawing view to make it readable.

2

For an exploded view, specify the components, the direction and the spacing; the other parts stay in place.

3

Assembly instructions start from the sequence and views proposed by LEO, which you review before export.

4

A PDF preview lets you check the instructions before exporting them.

Tip

Have a shop floor assembler review the proposed assembly sequence before export: they quickly spot a step that is impossible in practice.

3. Do the exercise

On a small assembly of 10 to 20 parts:

  • ask for an exploded view with a precise spacing on a subassembly
  • generate the assembly instructions and edit one step
  • export the PDF
✓To check: The PDF follows a realistic assembly order and each step shows the right parts.
