Chapter 25: Working with Drawing Views
SolidWorks has the capacity to make many different types of views of parts. In addition to the tools for projecting views, custom views saved in the model document can be saved and used on the drawing. The associative nature of the drawing to the model helps ensure that drawing views, regardless of how unusual the section angle or view orientation, are displayed in the correct size, location, and geometry.
It's sometimes better to create some of the views that require sketches by pre-sketching. Utilize workflow enhancements when possible; for example, the automated workflow of the Broken-Out section works well, but forcing it to be a manual process makes it awkward to use.
