CAD First time taking CAD

I am learning CAD at the moment and we've been tasked with this sketch/problem. I have tried a few different ways to sketch it but my mass never comes out to one of the options. Seeing here if there's any advice on if I should do the webbing in the middle or the cylinders first. Thank you!!

I don't know how long the diagonal parts are supposed to be and I don't know how long the outer semi circle (AKA curved line or whatever you wanna call it) are supposed to be. Any ideas?

Thank you so much!

The assignment was on a drill.

Data Management Can anyone recommend a SOLIDWORKS rep who can arrange a 30-day local PDM trial for software integration purpose?

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m developer of OneCommander file manager and a few users asked about showing PDM data directly (I hope do it without referencing the SOLIDWORKS/PDM SDKs).

I’ve already contacted SOLIDWORKS/resellers but ended up being passed between distributors without getting an evaluation arranged. A browser demo or sales presentation won’t cover this test.

I’m looking for approximately 30-day SOLIDWORKS PDM evaluation that I can run entirely on my own Windows machine: a local vault/server plus a licensed desktop client.

Does anyone have a direct contact at a reseller, or on the SOLIDWORKS PDM team, who could actually arrange this? PDM Standard is fine if it supports the test; Professional isn’t essential.

Thanks

CAD Is there a way to permanently disable draft quality drawing views?

3 Upvotes

I honestly don't understand why this is even a feature that can't be disabled.

Is it something Solidworks might add in the future? I don't want my views going to draft quality!!
