In this chapter, we will learn how to use SOLIDWORKS' drawing tools to do that. We will cover how to generate simple drawings with orthogonal views, how to communicate dimensions and drawing information, and how to export drawings as shareable images or PDFs.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

Opening a SOLIDWORKS drawing file
Generating orthographic and isometric views
Communicating dimensions and design
Utilizing the drawing sheet's information block
Exporting the drawing as a PDF or image

By the end of this chapter, you will be able to generate simple engineering drawings to explain your design to individuals or groups that are not SOLIDWORKS users. You will also...
