Sketch tools - SOLIDWORKS Tutorial

Sketch tools
- In this example, you're going to see a modified part using some sketch tools. So what I've done here is I've created this hole in the side of the part. Now this is not a shell, it's actually just a cut and I used an offset entity and a couple other reference geometries to create this. So let's go ahead and see how we create this one part here. So I'm going to open up 2.2 and click on this face here and go ahead up here and start the sketch. You can start here or you can just click on the face and click on sketch. All right? Now while I'm here, I want to use all these lines around the perimeter here and a quick way to do that is just click on the face and click on offset entities and I'm going to say one millimeter, so 1.0, and I want to reverse that so it's going on the inside and then click okay. That just converts all those entities and brings them in. Now the same thing here if I want to use convert entities I can say convert it. If I have a converted entity, then I can offset it…
