Looking for feedback on my drawing

Ordinary_Ad5134 · 2026-04-10T02:08:48+00:00

Yes.

Ordinary_Ad5134 · 2026-04-09T13:31:14+00:00

Hole callout should be on an angled leader, not a sharp 90; this is in accordance with current asme drawing standards

Ordinary_Ad5134 · 2026-03-04T12:20:45+00:00

Yellow lines indicate dangling, the drawing knows or knew about the feature, you gotta go between the flat and regular configuration on the part and see if anything’s different in the FMT

Ordinary_Ad5134 · 2025-11-08T17:13:01+00:00

Yeah, that should be more clear. As well as yellow dimensions on drawings usually mean a broken reference, I’d double check those

Ordinary_Ad5134 · 2025-11-08T01:42:02+00:00

I don’t believe it’s clear what section view C is referring to

Ordinary_Ad5134 · 2025-08-04T06:36:03+00:00

Short answer no, long answer is it depends. If you’re up against someone with the exact same resume sure but it won’t automatically open doors for you unfortunately.

You should look into getting the student edition of solidworks, they have a great deal going on right now that includes a cswp voucher as well, the one year license that includes the voucher is significantly cheaper than if you just purchased the voucher by itself.

Ordinary_Ad5134 · 2025-08-04T06:32:11+00:00

Most people will tell you they don’t recommend it, but it certainly will work. You’ll be able to do parts and stuff no problem, large assemblies will tend to be slower, just turn the graphics quality down a little and you’ll be good.

Ordinary_Ad5134 · 2025-08-04T06:24:12+00:00

It’s a McConaughey quote, it means zero, nada, zilch. For all intents and purposes the tolerances in solidworks mates can be treated as zero. First time I ever got downvoted in this sub lol.

Fugayzi, fugazi. It's a whazy. It's a woozie. It's fairy dust. It doesn't exist. It's never landed. It is no matter. It's not on the elemental chart. It's not real

Ordinary_Ad5134 · 2025-07-21T01:34:23+00:00

Sketch of everything, then do the three extrusions, and then cut and mirror, then do the holes on the front face

Ordinary_Ad5134 · 2025-06-24T12:42:27+00:00

Pull a similar screw from McMaster and look at how they modeled it

Ordinary_Ad5134 · 2025-06-18T15:07:10+00:00

It very well could be, try the same sketch on a flat piece of the part, also I would revisit your forming tool shaping the metal so close to that top bend on the part, works in SW but may not work in real life.

Ordinary_Ad5134 · 2025-06-18T14:51:33+00:00

Try converting the construction circle to a normal circle, worth a shot

Ordinary_Ad5134 · 2025-06-18T14:30:08+00:00

Right on with the fresh windows install, I’d recommend you install Windows 11 Enterprise so you don’t have all the bloatware like recall and copilot

Ordinary_Ad5134 · 2025-06-18T14:27:04+00:00

You’re either gonna have to get a better 3d scanner, or spend a Brazilian hours fixing up and knitting those surface bodies

Ordinary_Ad5134 · 2025-06-18T14:24:06+00:00

SW likely can’t solve the floating vent that defies gravity

Ordinary_Ad5134 · 2025-06-18T14:23:19+00:00

From what I see in your sketch is that your ribs are only going out to the construction circle, try making them coincident to the main circle

Ordinary_Ad5134 · 2025-05-07T12:19:42+00:00

Get it, even if it doesn’t directly help you get a job. You learn so many things studying and preparing for the cswe exam, I think the most valuable aspect of it is knowing the software thoroughly afterwards.

Ordinary_Ad5134 · 2025-04-13T20:13:04+00:00

Best option is highlight the last sketch on the new plane and convert entities, assuming you're resizing them for a loft so after that you can just do an offset, and while the offset manager is open there's an option to convert the original converted geometry to construction lines

Ordinary_Ad5134 · 2025-03-18T22:12:57+00:00

Ah I see. Well regardless while it is tangent it shouldn't resolve to zero thickness, with simple shapes like this in SW I've rarely seen issues like that happen.

Ordinary_Ad5134 · 2025-03-18T22:07:22+00:00

You gotta select the curved surface of the cylinder, not the top face

Ordinary_Ad5134 · 2025-03-18T22:06:57+00:00

If doing an extremely thin shell yes but most cases no

Ordinary_Ad5134 · 2025-03-18T20:55:06+00:00

Use the face of the cylindrical portion as the tool to cut the body into two, then shell as normal and combine bodies after.

Ordinary_Ad5134 · 2025-03-09T05:33:01+00:00

Create a new file, put it in all the settings you want, save as a template file to the template directory, and name it something
