Reference Geometry
If you ever had to design furniture, racking or framework for more complex forms there is a reference geometry command that will save you time and effort called a SOLIDWORKS Grid System. When you launch the SOLIDWORKS Grid System command, it puts you in sketch…
You can create a custom SOLIDWORKS coordinate system in a model that can be used for reference in Measure, Mass Properties or exporting to a neutral file (Parasolid®, STEP, IGES, etc). This can also be used for assembly mates and in Simulation for remote load locations….
