Solid Edge V9 2D Drawing
Assembly Sketches (Layouts)
These are used to define the criticalgeometry in a series of mating parts.
Elements from the master sketch may be
selected to create the individual parts.This assures that the parts are the correct
size and are located in exactly the right
place.
Elements of the part sketches which are
derived from the master sketch may beassociated (linked) back to the master
sketch. This means that any change in
the master sketch will update all theassociated parts.
Portions of the sketch were used to
create the base of the roller assembly.
Other portions of the same sketch will
be used to create the opening for thewheel.
Modeling the wheel is done by selecting
the large circle from the master sketch.
The final assembly is shown with the
parts modeled exactly as they fit.
As you can see, 2D sketches are the
basis for much of the design and part
creation process. These sketches can bevery general at first then, exact sizes
can be assigned later. All parts
associated to the master sketches will
re-size to the new dimensions.

Starting a 2D Sketch
In this chapter all drawings
will start from the Part
Environment. Most of the
commands and constructiontechniques are the same inother environments.
If Solid Edge is already running,pop down the File menu ....
Pick New …
Select the More tabUse Normeng.par (inch)
For an introduction to 2Dsketches, we will use the option
to create a sketch. This option
allows the designer to create anoverall master outline showing
major features of the part. When
the actual part creation takesplace, elements from the master
sketch will be copied to the part
outline sketch.
• Selecting Sketch brings up
the prompt:
Watch the bottom left corner
of the screen for instructions
and prompts.
• Pick the Front reference
plane.

2D Sketch Window
Selecting a reference plane places a
special window on the drawing. The
view is looking straight at the selected
reference plane. In this example the topand right planes appear as an edge and
the front plane is the drawing surface.
The profile will be created on the Front
plane.
The Drawing Tools Menu activates:
Edge view of Right plane
Edge view of Top plane
The sketch will be created on the surface of the Front plane.

are not well defined.
Chamfer will bevel a corner. The
bevel can be the same angle ordistance on both sides or, the
bevel may be a different distance
or angle on each side. Note theexpanded ribbon bar.
Small rounds, fillets and chamfersshould usually be added to the

2D Drawings may take two forms:
2D Sketches show the outlines and locations of
multiple shapes or parts to be designed.
2D Profiles must be closed shapes with no entitiesinside or crossing the sketch. The sketch at the rightmay be used to create a part by selecting specific
shapes then “cleaning up” the outline by trimming
inner curves. The final shape must be a single series
of connected lines and arcs.
Concept Sketch.
(Cannot be used
to create a part inthis form).
Profile mustbe a closed

Additional sketches were used to define the protrusionat the middle and the holes in the part after the initial

2D Drawing Solid Edge V15
2D Drawings may take two forms:
2D Sketches show the outlines and locations of
multiple shapes or parts to be designed.
2D Profiles must be closed shapes with no entitiesinside or crossing the sketch. The sketch at the right
may be used to create a part by selecting specific
shapes then “cleaning up” the outline by trimming
inner curves. The final shape must be a single series
of connected lines and arcs.
Concept Sketch.
(Cannot be used
to create a part in
this form).
Profile must be a closed
figure with no
internal lines.
Additional sketches were used to define the protrusion
at the middle and the holes in the part after the initial
shape was created.
Resulting 3D
object with
depth added.

Solid Edge V15 2D Drawing
Assembly Sketches (Layouts)
These are used to define the critical
geometry in a series of mating parts.
Elements from the master sketch may be
selected to create the individual parts.This assures that the parts are the
correct size and are located in exactly
the right place.
Elements of the part sketches which are
derived from the master sketch may be
associated (linked) back to the master
sketch. This means that any change in
the master sketch will update all the
associated parts.
Portions of the sketch were used to
create the base of the roller assembly.
Other portions of the same sketch will
be used to create the opening for the
wheel.
Modeling the wheel is done by selecting
the large circle from the master sketch.
The final assembly is shown with the
parts modeled exactly as they fit.
As you can see, 2D sketches are the
basis for much of the design and part
creation process. These sketches can be
very general at first then, exact sizes
can be assigned later. All parts
associated to the master sketches will
re-size to the new dimensions.

Starting a 2D Sketch
In this chapter all drawings
will start from the Part
Environment. Most of the
commands and constructiontechniques are the same in
other environments.
If Solid Edge is already running,
pop down the File menu ....
Pick New …
Select the More tab
Use Normeng.par (inch)
For an introduction to 2D
sketches, we will use the option
to create a sketch. This option
allows the designer to create an
overall master outline showing
major features of the part. When
the actual part creation takes
place, elements from the master
sketch will be copied to the part
outline sketch.

Chamfer will bevel a corner. The
bevel can be the same angle or
distance on both sides or, the
bevel may be a different distanceor angle on each side. Note the

You may have noticed a number of symbols on the lines of the previous examples. These are geometric
indicators which constrain the geometry. As you draw these symbols appear. The check box turns the
momentary indicators on/off.
Geometric Relationships
As you draw some of the
relationships are automatically set.
Sketches must have the proper
relationships between entities in
order to create actual parts.
Sketches must be properly

2D Drawing Solid Edge V16
2D Drawings may take two forms:
2D Sketches show the outlines and locations of
multiple shapes or parts to be designed.
2D Profiles must be closed shapes with no entitiesinside or crossing the sketch. The sketch at the right
may be used to create a part by selecting specific
shapes then “cleaning up” the outline by trimming
inner curves. The final shape must be a single series
of connected lines and arcs.
Concept Sketch.
(Cannot be used
to create a part in
this form).
Profile must be a closed
figure with no
internal lines.
Additional sketches were used to define the protrusion
at the middle and the holes in the part after the initial
shape was created.
Resulting 3D

Solid Edge V17 2D Drawing
Assembly Sketches (Layouts)
These are used to define the criticalgeometry in a series of mating parts.Elements from the master sketch may be selected to create the individual
parts. This assures that the parts are thecorrect size and are located in exactlythe right place.
Elements of the part sketches whichare derived from the master sketch may be associated (linked) back to the mas-ter sketch. This means that any changein the master sketch will update all theassociated parts.
Portions of the sketch were used tocreate the base of the pillow block as-sembly.Other portions of the same sketch will be used to create the opening for the bearing.
Modeling the bearing is done by selecting the inner circles. The bronze bearing is created as a separate part.
The final assembly is shown with the parts modeled exactly as they fit.
As you can see, 2D sketches are the basis for much of the design and part creation process. These sketches can be very general at first then, exact sizes can be assigned later. All parts associated to the master sketches will re-size to the new dimensions. Each part will be the right size and in the right place.

Starting a 2D Drawing
Any new object starts with a 2D sketch. Complexobjects can be designed more efficiently by creating amaster sketch with part geometry defined by a seriesof overlapping lines. As the part shape evolves the 2D
lines are used to add material or cut away material.
Simpler shapes may be designed by staring directlywith the Protrusion or revolved Protrusion icons. Master sketches give more control over the modeling
process.
Component Sketches are placeholders for existing parts or for related items yet to be designed.
Once Sketch is started, The Ribbon Bar displays prompts and options.A Reference Plane must be selected. Or, a new reference plane must be defined as a 2D drawing plane.
A pop down dialog box allow the selection of alternate planes for starting the sketch.
Coincident Option starts a sketch on one of theexisting reference planes.

Constraining Sketches.
Constraints help to insure that changes to a sketch behave in a predictable manner. Editing causes shapes tochange and parts often must be re-sized for weight, strength, appearance or other reasons. All of the changescan result in some weird shapes unless constraints are in place to control the changes.
Two types of constraints are used: Dimension Constraints and Geometric Constraints.
Dimension Constraints
Smart Dimensions are applied to individual elements.A single pick will dimension a line, circle, etc.
A pop down menu for other dimension types is shown.Distance between and angle between relate two items.
Driving dimensions control a part feature.Driven dimensions are controlled by other dimen-sions. Each type is a different color on the screen.

(The first tutorial in chap-
ter 1 used horizontal and
vertical to do the same
thing).
Connect the mid-point of the horizontal line to thevertical (Y-Z) plane.
Connect the mid pointof the vertical line to thehorizontal (X-Y) plane.
Changing the 2.000 and 3.000 dimensions will keep the rectangle centered.
A hexagon has been circumscribedabout a circle. We want to be able tochange the circle size and keep thehexagon shape.
Lines are connect constrained andtangent constrained.
Changing the circle size produces in anunexpected result!
What other constraints need to be addedto fix the problem?

Editing 2D sketches.2D drawings are often constructed using basic shapes then editing the shapes to get the final forms.
Fillet is a rounded corner. Chamfer is a beveled corner.
Offset may be one side or both sides.
Sizes and locations may be fixed by placing dimensions.
Objects may be moved or re-sized by changing the dimensionvalue.
Move pop-down displays several related edit-ing commands.
The rectangle shape was modified using the fillet editing command.

Solid Edge V182D Drawing
2D Drawings may take two forms:
2D Sketches show the outlines and locations of mul-tiple shapes or parts to be designed.
2D Profiles must be closed shapes with no entities
inside or crossing the sketch. The sketch at the rightmay be used to create a part by selecting specificshapes then “cleaning up” the outline by trimminginner curves. The final shape must be a single series of connected lines and arcs.
Complete Master Sketch. (Cannot beused to create a partin this form).
Profile must be aclosed “loop” withno internal lines.
Resulting 3Dobject with depthadded.
Portions of the Master Sketch are copiedwhen creating individual part features.
8/14/2019 SolidE Documentation
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/solide-documentation 173/19833
Solid Edge V18 2D Drawing
Assembly Sketches (Layouts)
These are used to define the criticalgeometry in a series of mating parts.Elements from the master sketch may be selected to create the individual
parts. This assures that the parts are thecorrect size and are located in exactlythe right place.
Elements of the part sketches whichare derived from the master sketch may be associated (linked) back to the mas-ter sketch. This means that any changein the master sketch will update all theassociated parts.
Portions of the sketch were used tocreate the base of the pillow block as-sembly.Other portions of the same sketch will be used to create the opening for the bearing.
Modeling the bearing is done by selecting the inner circles. The bronze bearing is created as a separate part.
The final assembly is shown with the parts modeled exactly as they fit.
As you can see, 2D sketches are the basis for much of the design and part creation process. These sketches can be very general at first then, exact sizes can be assigned later. All parts associated to the master sketches will re-size to the new dimensions. Each part will be the right size and in the right place.

Starting a 2D Drawing
Any new object starts with a 2D sketch. Complexobjects can be designed more efficiently by creating amaster sketch with part geometry defined by a seriesof overlapping lines. As the part shape evolves the 2D
lines are used to add material or cut away material.
Simpler shapes may be designed by staring directlywith the Protrusion or revolved Protrusion icons. Master sketches give more control over the modeling
process.
Component Sketches are placeholders for existing parts or for related items yet to be designed.
Once Sketch is started, The Ribbon Bar displays prompts and options.A Reference Plane must be selected. Or, a new reference plane must be defined as a 2D drawing plane.
A pop down dialog box allow the selection of alternate planes for starting the sketch.
Coincident Option starts a sketch on one of theexisting reference planes.

Drawn items may be changed by editing lengths, angles,

When items are connected,changing one item may causeanother entity to change in anunexpected or unwanted man-ner.
Placing constraints on a 2Dsketch helps to ensure Engineering Intent.
Constraining sketches is an important step in the design process. Many features may be changed as the designevolves. Making sure the master sketch changes in a predictable manner is critical.
Constraints are a combination of geometric (parallel, vertical, concentric, tangent, etc.) and dimensional lengths.The first tutorial (chapter 1) introduced some of these ideas.

Constraining Sketches.
Constraints help to insure that changes to a sketch behave in a predictable manner. Editing causes shapes tochange and parts often must be re-sized for weight, strength, appearance or other reasons. All of the changescan result in some weird shapes unless constraints are in place to control the changes.
Two types of constraints are used: Dimension Constraints and Geometric Constraints.
Dimension Constraints
Smart Dimensions are applied to individual elements.A single pick will dimension a line, circle, etc.
A pop down menu for other dimension types is shown.Distance between and angle between relate two items.
Driving dimensions control a part feature.Driven dimensions are controlled by other dimen-sions. Each type is a different color on the screen.
Geometric Constraints
Turns display of geometric iconsOff/On
The geometric con-straint icons are shown.Choosing and applyingconstraints is a matter of planning which elementsmust remain fixed inrelation to other ele-ments that are allowed tochange.
