Tools and Tricks for revolving in SOLIDWORKS

[Music] I have an incomplete sketch that needs to be finished the plan is to create a model that I can share for Machining I'm going to complete this by adding in the missing line now there is a missing Dimension that I will need to add because I'm going to revolve this item I would prefer to have all my Dimensions displayed in the diameter form to achieve this with only half of the model you can do the following have a center line to help guide the dimension to the opposite side start the dimension tool select the start point the line you want to start to measure from then select your center line now to get the measurement to show up correctly you need to move across the center line to the opposite side of your sketch you can see here the size will double once my sketch is complete you can revolve the feature now for the Machining process I need to add a few a few other features a fillet here and a few a couple of shamers as well to make things easier on my design I will use the fillet feature and add the fillet where it needs to be added here I can choose the type of fillet as well as the size once I've selected my reference I can complete my feature next next I will add the shamers first I'm going to split my model in half so that I can see what's happening on the inside again with my shamer feature I can choose the type of shamer as well as the size that I want to have the shamer be there are a few other shamer settings to look at as [Music] well after choosing all the correct edges as you you can see I've got edges on the outside and an edge on the inside I'm going to complete the feature to finish the model I need to add a threaded cut there are few ways to add a threaded cut we always recommend for standard threads to use the Cosmetic thread this will reduce the amount of resources that needs to be used if you absolutely have to see the thread on the model where the cut is physically visible you can use the thread tool here you have a couple of settings to control what this would look like you can either make this a cut or a boss whether it's left-handed or right-handed you can also choose the the type and size that you want this to be once I am happy with the type of thread I can complete the feature this however will add a lot of unnecessary detail to the model so I would only do this in cases where it's absolutely necessary and if it's a special gut if I want to continue working on this design I am going to suppress the last three features that's my thread shamer and fillet this will improve my component reliability as well as solid works as performance there are other ways to create helical Cuts or bosses we will have a look at those in another video thank you for joining this session [Music]
