Overview of Drawing Sheets and Drawing Views
A Solidworks drawing file can contain one or more drawings, and each drawing can contain multiple drawing views. Many specialized terms are used in drawings, including: sheet, sheet format, and view.
1. Drawings
In Solidworks, the concept of "drawing" can be understood as an actual drawing paper, and the drawing is used for placement, view, dimension and annotation.
2. Drawing format
Sheet formats include borders, title blocks, and necessary text.
3. Drawings reference parts and assemblies, and views can be scaled, oriented, and placed in drawings. Each view has a unique reference, but each sheet can contain multiple views with different references.
