1. We can open a new SOLIDWORKS drawing file by going to New, and then selecting Drawing. After we open a new drawing file, the first thing we will have to decide is the drawing sheet format.
2. SOLIDWORKS provides five different display styles that we can use for our drawing views. Those are defined in SOLIDWORKS drawing as Wireframe, Hidden Lines Visible, Hidden Lines Removed, Shaded With Edges, and Shaded. Whenever we create a drawing, we have to decide which of the display styles will fit our application best.
3. There is no specific standard for scale to use when generating drawing views. This choice goes back to the team responsible for the drawing. However, a good practice is to take advantage of the drawing sheet space as much as possible.
4. The information block shows different information about the drawing, model, the team involved and the company. That information includes drawing scale, part material, weight, team members involved in making the model, a general statement from the mother company, and so on.
5. To create the following drawing, we follow the same steps explained in this chapter with the following notes:
   • The parent view is the Right View instead of the Front View. Hence, we will have to use the View Palette to add the right view first, and then project the back and top views from it.
   • The Left View was inserted separately from the View Palette.
   • The scale 1:3 is not listed in the scale options. Hence, we will have to create and define the view by selecting the User Defined option under the scale.
   • Note the display is different for the different views as follows:
     • Right, Top, and Left View: Hidden lines removed display
     • Back View: Hidden lines visible display
     • Isometric View: Shaded with edges display

6. To generate the drawing, we can follow the same basic steps explained in this chapter. The drawing shown only uses the basic front and side views.
7. There is no correct way to create the model; you may use any of the skills we have considered so far to create the model. To double-check you have created the model correctly, change the material to Alloy Steel and check your mass is 436.73 grams. If your mass is different, this indicates that your model is a bit different than the one we have created. One way to double-check your model is to create the drawing, and double-check whether all of the dimensions match the drawing we have provided. The drawing is basic with orthographic and isometric views.
