Looking at the sheet options
- [Instructor] In this video I'm gonna cover some of the different sheet options that we can modify for our sheet metal drawings inside of Solidworks. The first thing that we want to do is head up here to the gear icon here and click on options. Now under document properties, at the very bottom here, we have one for sheet metal. So click on sheet metal here and we can modify what we want to add to the drawing and how we want it to look. So we can look at bend lines, form features and so on. And we can adjust the colors and so on. We can take a look at some bend notes. We can change the fonts. We can change the leaders. We can do a whole bunch of different modifications to how we want this to look on our drawing specifically for sheet metal. Now if you come up here under detailing, we also have the option to auto insert on view creation and we can add things like center marks or dowel pans or center lines and things like that. So especially if you have a lot of holes it's really handy…
