Re: Pneumatic cylinders Solidworks lessons

Adam, your video talked about what other ways to do something like this. The only thing I normally do different is I make things into Blocks, so the dimensions aren't in the way, and the relations don't mess anything up. It also makes it a lot cleaner and can make repetitive things quicker to draw.

Also I will sometimes start this sketch in an assembly, and then make the assembly using the sketch. A lot of the Part are 'In-Context" parts and everything will update when you change/modify your sketch. This is usually too difficult for a Student to do though, so I would only do this for school, or work (assuming co-workers know how to use in-context assemblies, so sometimes I'll break the references to old parts).
