SolidWorks 2001 is mechanical desig
16、n automation software that takes advantage of the familiar Microsoft Windows graphical user interface. This easy-to-learn tool makes it possible for mechanical designers to quickly sketch out ideas, experiment with features and dimensions, and produce models and detailed drawings. This Getting Start
17、ed book discusses some basic concepts and terminology used throughout the SolidWorks 2001 application. It provides exercises to familiarize you with creating parts, drawings and assemblies, and introduces some of the most commonly used features of the SolidWorks 2001 mechanical design automation sys

Required Information for Installation Before you install SolidWorks 2001, if you made changes to palette items, drawing templates, or PhotoWorksTM materials in a previo
20、us release of the SolidWorks software, you should save backup copies of these files. Put the backup files in a folder where they cannot be lost or overwritten during the installation. The SolidWorks 2001 Setup Wizard on the CD-ROM guides you through the installation procedure and asks for the follow
21、ing information: ?SolidWorks Serial Number. For new SolidWorks customers or non-subscription customers, the serial number is located on the box that contains your SolidWorks software. Subscription customers should continue to use the serial number on the CD-ROM case from their first SolidWorks insta
22、llation. ?SolidWorks Registration Code: If you are a SolidWorks subscription customer, the registration wizard provides a registration code during the SolidWorks 2001 installation. If you are a new SolidWorks customer, you are asked to use the registration wizard during installation. This generates
23、a registration form that you can email or fax to SolidWorks Corporation. A registration code is provided quickly by return email or fax. You have up to 30 days to use the product without the registration code. If you are a continuing, non-subscription customer, you must have a registration code to u
24、pdate to the SolidWorks 2001 software. ?Serial numbers for add-in software. If you purchased one or more of the software add-ins available with the SolidWorks application, a serial number for each purchased add-in is located on the box that contains your software add-ins. ?Allow or disallow model ch
25、anges from drawing. This option makes it possible for a user to disallow the ability to make changes to part or assembly dimensions from the drawing. (You must reinstall the SolidWorks software to change this option.) The default, and most common configuration, is to allow the part and assembly dime
26、nsions to be changed from the drawing. Chapter 1 Installation SolidWorks 2001 Getting Started1-3 Installation Procedures The kinds of installations are, individual, client, server and client, and server only. The installation steps for an individual user or a server are the same, though some of the
27、questions asked during the installation are different. ?Individual installation - This installation is for a computer that will run the SolidWorks 2001 application from its own hard drive and will not share its executable files with any other computer, whether it is on a network or not. To do an ind
28、ividual installation, insert the SolidWorks 2001 CD-ROM in the computers CD drive and respond to the directions from the install wizard. A serial number and registration code are required. ?Server only installation - This installation is for a computer that will not run the SolidWorks 2001 applicati
29、on, but will only act as a server, sharing its SolidWorks installation with one or more SolidWorks client computers. (You must reinstall if you want to change this selection.) With this option, the server does not need to be licensed to run the SolidWorks application, but each client must have a lic
30、ense. This installation should be performed by a network administrator or someone who has experience working with the network server. Insert the SolidWorks 2001 CD-ROM in the computers CD drive and respond to the directions from the install wizard. No serial number or registration code is required f

To do a server and client installation, insert the SolidWorks 2001 CD-ROM in the computers CD drive and respond to the directions from the install wizard. A serial numb
33、er and registration code are required. After installation, make sure that the folder containing the SolidWorks installation is shared and accessible to the client computers on the network. ?Client installation - The client computer runs the SolidWorks software from a server. No executable files are
34、installed on the client computer, but it is necessary to perform a NOTE:The server and clients must be of the same platform type. There is no cross-platform installation. Before starting a SolidWorks server update installation, it is important to ensure that no SolidWorks clients are running. Master

To perform a SolidWorks client installation: 1Make certain that the server installation is complete on the computer from which the clients will run the SolidWorks application. Make make sure
36、 that the folder containing the SolidWorks installation is shared and accessible to the client computers on the network. 2Working on the SolidWorks client computer, browse to the folder under the SolidWorks installation directory on the server called setupi386. 3Double-click setup.exe. 4The install
37、wizard guides you through the few steps needed to complete the client installation.

Before you begin the examples in SolidWorks 2001 Getting Started, you should read Chapter 2, to familiarize yourself with some of the fundamentals, including: ?SolidWorks 2001 design concepts ?SolidWorks 2001 terms ?Getting Help in SolidWorks 2001 Mastering the Basics 2-2 Designing with S
44、olidWorks 2001 As you do the examples in this guide, the design methods you use for parts, assemblies, and drawings, represent a unique approach to the design process. ?With SolidWorks 2001, you create 3D parts, not just 2D drawings. You can use these 3D parts to create 2D drawings and 3D assemblies
45、. ?SolidWorks 2001 is a dimension-driven system. You can specify dimensions and geometric relationships between elements. Changing dimensions changes the size and shape of the part, while preserving your design intent. For example, in this part, the boss is always half as high as the base. SolidWork
