Autodesk Inventor Drafting: Exploded View Drawing & Parts List

Jens Nielsen
in Drafting
3 0 Beginner
I will guide you through the process of creating an exploded view drawing of the Quick Return Mechanism assembly. We'll begin by creating a presentation file in Inventor to generate an exploded view storyboard. Next, we'll transition to the drawing environment. You'll learn how to create a new drawing from your exploded view, ensuring proper scaling and placement. A key focus will be on automatically generating a parts list (BOM) directly from your assembly data, populating it with essential information like item number, quantity, and part name. We'll then add balloons to your exploded view, linking each component to its corresponding entry in the parts list, making your drawing easy to interpret. You can find the STEP files for the Quick Return Mechanism on my GrabCAD profile, so you can follow along step-by-step. https://grabcad.com/library/quick-return-mechanism-65

In this detailed SolidWorks tutorial, you'll learn how to design, assemble, and animate a classic radial engine step by step. Perfect for beginners and mechanical design enthusiasts alike, this guide will walk you through the entire process using SolidWorks' powerful features. Weโ€™ll begin by creating every individual part of the radial engine โ€” from the complex crankcase to the pistons, connecting rods, and other essential components. As you model these parts, you'll become familiar with key SolidWorks tools and best practices for precision mechanical design. Once all components are ready, we'll move into the assembly stage. You'll discover how to use mates to position each part accurately and simulate realistic movement within the engine. This phase will show you how to bring multiple parts together into a fully functioning mechanical assembly. Finally, weโ€™ll explore SolidWorksโ€™ animation capabilities. Youโ€™ll learn how to create a motion study to simulate the engineโ€™s operation and visualize the synchronized movement of the pistons and crankshaft โ€” a great way to understand the internal mechanics of a radial engine. By the end of this tutorial, youโ€™ll have a fully modeled, properly assembled, and smoothly animated radial engine. More importantly, youโ€™ll gain solid experience with SolidWorks tools and a deeper appreciation for mechanical design principles.

Sheet Metal Design and Press Brake Application in SolidWorks โ€” Training Content Module 1: Introduction to Sheet Metal Design Objectives: Understand the fundamentals of sheet metal parts. Learn about bend allowances, K-factor, and design constraints. Familiarize with sheet metal design standards for manufacturing. Topics Covered: What is Sheet Metal Design? Common Manufacturing Methods (Laser Cutting, Press Brake Bending) Overview of Material Properties Design Guidelines for Sheet Metal Module 2: SolidWorks Sheet Metal Tools Overview Objectives: Explore SolidWorks sheet metal feature set. Understand the difference between solid and sheet metal modeling. Topics Covered: Sheet Metal Toolbar Sheet Metal Parameters: Thickness, Bend Radius, K-Factor Base Flange/Tab, Edge Flange, Hem, Jog, Sketched Bend Flatten and Unflatten Features Exercise: Open a new part. Enable the Sheet Metal tab. Use the Base Flange/Tab feature to create a 2mm thick sheet base. Add Edge Flange to create a simple box shape. Module 3: Creating a Sheet Metal Part Objectives: Create a real-world sheet metal component from scratch. Understand best practices for designing for bending. Step-by-Step: Start with Base Flange/Tab to define the main shape (e.g., rectangular plate). Add Edge Flanges to form sides (adjust angle and length). Add Reliefs for bends (Tear, Obround, or Rectangular). Use Sketched Bend to simulate press brake bends manually. Apply Corner Treatments (Corner Relief, Corner Trim). Check Flat Pattern for laser cutting and press brake compatibility. Module 4: Understanding Bend Calculations Objectives: Learn how SolidWorks calculates bend allowances. Apply correct K-Factor for accurate flat pattern dimensions. Topics Covered: Bend Allowance vs. Bend Deduction K-Factor Explanation (Typical values: 0.3 to 0.5) How to set custom bend tables in SolidWorks Controlling bend direction and bend radius Exercise: Create a U-shaped bracket. Calculate the flat length manually and compare with SolidWorks flat pattern. Modify the K-factor and observe changes. Module 5: Exporting for Manufacturing Objectives: Prepare a design for laser cutting and bending. Generate flat patterns and technical drawings. Topics Covered: Creating 2D Flat Pattern View in Drawings Adding Bend Notes and Bend Lines DXF/DWG Export for Laser Cutting Assigning Bend Directions (Up/Down) Exercise: Generate a drawing of your sheet metal part. Add a Flat Pattern view. Ann

๐Ÿ“ฆ **SolidWorks โ€“ Bounding Box Command Tutorial ๐ŸŽฏ **Purpose of the Bounding Box The **Bounding Box** is used to automatically generate a **virtual box** that represents the smallest rectangular box that can fully enclose a part or body. It's useful for: * ๐Ÿ“ Estimating raw material size * ๐Ÿ“ฆ Packaging design * ๐Ÿ“Š BOM automation (length, width, height) * ๐Ÿงพ CNC programming / nesting ๐Ÿ”ง Where to Find the Bounding Box Command ๐Ÿ”น **SolidWorks Version**: Available in SolidWorks 2018 and later ๐Ÿ”น **Applicable To**: * Weldment parts (structural members) * Sheet metal parts * Bodies (in multibody parts) ๐Ÿ“ **Location:** * **Insert โžœ Reference Geometry โžœ Bounding Box** * Or, Right-click the **Cut List Item** or **Solid Body Folder** in FeatureManager Tree โžœ *Create Bounding Box* ๐Ÿงฐ **How to Use the Bounding Box Command โœ… Steps: 1. ๐Ÿ–ฑ๏ธ Right-click the **Cut List Item** or the **Solid Body Folder** (e.g., under a weldment or sheet metal part). 2. โž• Click **Create Bounding Box**. 3. ๐Ÿ“ SolidWorks calculates and displays the smallest 3D box around the selected body. 4. ๐Ÿงพ The box dimensions appear in the **Cut List Properties** automatically as: * `Bounding Box Length` * `Bounding Box Width` * `Bounding Box Thickness` (or Height) ๐Ÿ“ *Tip:* You can show these values in a drawing BOM using cut list properties. ๐Ÿ“Œ **Bounding Box Options | Option | Description | | ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | | ๐Ÿ”ฒ **Best Fit** | Default. Creates the smallest possible box, optimized to the shape. | | โ†•๏ธ **Custom Plane** | You can define a specific orientation or plane for the box. | | โœ๏ธ **Manual Adjustment** | Not possible โ€“ the box is always auto-calculated by geometry. | ๐Ÿ“ **Using Bounding Box in Drawings 1. Create a **drawing** from the part. 2. Insert a **Cut List Table** (for weldments or sheet metal). 3. Add columns for: * `Bounding Box Length` * `Bounding Box Width` * `Bounding Box Thickness` 4. ๐Ÿงพ These will auto-populate from the bounding box data. ๐Ÿงช **Example
