Transfer CAD drawings to SolidWorks for 3D processing

  Now many engineering drawings need to be drawn into two-dimensional & ldquo; Three views;, Many readers need the knowledge of 3D CAD technology, but there is a problem
The drawing made with AutoCAD is complex, difficult to understand and not intuitive enough
Can it be converted into 3D drawing?
In practice, some CAD graphics can be converted into SolidWorks graphics with the help of Solidworks, which is very convenient for motion, interference inspection and viewing three-dimensional effect
The specific methods are as follows:
1
Simplify CAD graphics
Many CAD files are too complex to be opened directly with Solidworks, so you can first select the part drawing to be converted, select the main part of its plane, copy it to one side, and remove redundant lines, such as dimension lines, dotted lines, etc
All graphic lines are continuous lines

2
Change the drawing according to the requirements of SolidWorks
Save the modified graphic to a file for further modification
According to the requirements of Solidworks, the graphic lines cannot be crossed and repeated, and the connection points cannot be disconnected
The proportion of the graphic shall be 1:1 to facilitate future assembly
The key points of the graphic shall be placed on the coordinate origin
This part of the work should be careful, otherwise it will affect the following SolidWorks operations

3
Open CAD file with SolidWorks
Start SolidWorks and open the file
The file type is & ldquo; All files & rdquo;, Select the CAD file & ldquo; Open & rdquo;, Select & ldquo; file template; Drawing & rdquo;, Select & ldquo; scale; 1：1”， Then click & ldquo; Next & rdquo; Select & ldquo; from the data units; Mm& ldquo; Complete & rdquo;

4
Convert engineering drawing to part drawing
Put the engineering drawing & ldquo; Restore down & rdquo;, In & ldquo; New & rdquo; The selected part drawing is displayed in & ldquo; Window & rdquo; Select two pictures in the middle & ldquo; Tile vertically & rdquo;
First activate the drawing, drag a box with the mouse, select all lines in the drawing, and click & ldquo; Edit & rdquo; Selected & ldquo; Copy & rdquo;
Reactivate the part drawing in & ldquo; Edit & rdquo; Selected & ldquo; Paste & rdquo;
In this way, there is sketch 1 in the part drawing
At this time, the drawing can be closed without saving
Put the part drawing & ldquo; Zoom in & rdquo;, Right click sketch 1 and select Edit sketch from the shortcut menu to perform SolidWorks operation on the sketch

Attachment: SolidWorks is a 3D mechanical design software based on modeling
Its basic design idea is: solid modeling - Virtual Assembly - 2D drawing

For example, compared with the previous version, SolidWorks 2005 adds more than 250 new features and functional improvements to the new product
It is a rare single software in the market that integrates functions such as 3D design, analysis, product data management, multi-user cooperation and injection molding part confirmation
Among many new functions, it integrates cosmos 2005 software, which enables users to carry out nonlinear analysis, impact test and other design and analysis functions without leaving SolidWorks environment
In addition, considering that a large number of users are still using 2D CAD software, SolidWorks 2005 adds support for AutoCAD to help users edit 2D DWG documents in their original format under an interface similar to AutoCAD environment
