您是否在努力获得SOLIDWORKS大会开始，还是继续开始的集会？如果是这样，这是您的文章。请继续阅读以获取有关从头开始创建组件的步骤和提示，所有图标的含义，以及将零件和子组件添加到组件中。
I need to create a hinge assembly and add it to a door. An assembly is a collection of parts and/or assemblies in one file. I already have the parts designed, so I'll use the New command to create an assembly. Here, I can choose the generic assembly template, or click on Advanced to specify a custom template.
启动新的组件。
一旦我开始一个新的组件，开始汇编命令会自动启动。如果我打开任何文件，它们会显示在“打开文档”框中。我可以扩展缩略图预览部分以查看预览。已经检查了选项，例如创建新组件时自动浏览，这将打开浏览器。我将导航到我想要的文件并打开它。请注意，当我添加零件时，我可以选择配置并显示状态，但是以后我也可以更改。
Begin Assembly Command.
Once I've selected it, having the Graphics preview option checked will allow me to see it in the Graphics area. The last option allows you to rotate the part before you place it, which I'll use to make the hinge plate vertical. By default, the part’s orientation is what it was designed in. You can change the angle to whatever you like, and click the button on the axis you want to rotate about respectively to the global coordinate system in the bottom left of the Graphics Area.
Placing the part in the assembly.
请注意，即使旋转后，您也可以自由地在图形区域周围移动零件。如果您在图形区域的某个地方左键单击，则将零件放在该位置的组件中。但是，我建议您将第一部分放入物业经理中的绿色支票时。这将把零件放置在组件的原点，并将其固定在太空中。
Hit Okay to place the first part at the origin.
Let's take a look at the User Interface. When working in an assembly, the Assembly tab is on in the Command Manager and this is where you will see most of the commands useful while building and modifying an assembly. The icon in the Feature Manager tree next to the name indicates that this is an assembly. Moving down the Feature Manager tree, there are the same folders we would see in a part, along with the standard Front, Right, Top planes, and Origin. These are the assembly reference planes. At the very bottom of the tree, there is a Mates folder that is currently empty. More on this later.
Assembly UI.
If I expand the part, I can see that it has its own reference planes and origin. When I clicked Okay to place it, the part's planes were aligned with the assembly's planes. There's an F next to the part name, which means it's fixed in space and cannot move. In other words, all of its degrees of freedom have been locked. I can also see which is the current configuration and display state.
Expanded Feature Manager Tree.
I recommend at least one part or subassembly be fixed so that it can anchor the other components in the assembly. I want to add in another part, so I'll use the Insert Components command.
因为没有其他部分开放SOLIDWORKS，一个探险家窗口打开。否则，使用“浏览”按钮将完成同样的事情。现在，我选择铰链别针添加。我可以使用旋转工具栏，但是这次我只将销钉靠近盘子放置。我不想打绿色支票，因为我希望能够移动销钉。
插入组件命令。
Looking in the Feature Manager tree, I can see that the pin can move, indicated by the minus sign next to the name. In other words, there aren’t enough degrees of freedom locked to keep the pin from moving. To translate it in space, left-click a face and drag. To rotate it, right-click a face and drag. Just a reminder, I can't do that with the plate because it's fixed (you’ll get a message if you try to move it.) However, I can right-click on it and select Float to change that.
Unconstrained second part.
Fixed component message.
Before I mate a part, I like to move it close to its final position. This makes it easier for me to predict how SOLIDWORKS will apply the mates. Speaking of mates, let's add some. I'll hit the mate command up here.
Mate Command.
如您所见，有许多不同的伴侣和类别的伴侣，但我只需要标准的伴侣。您可以预选所需的伴侣，但是我喜欢选择我想要交配的实体，而Solidworks会猜测伴侣。通常，这是正确的，但是可以更改。
对于第一个伴侣，我将在盘子上选择销钉的外部和外部圆柱脸。当您选择第一部分的第一面时，整个部分就会变得透明，以帮助配对相应的零件。引脚移至正确的位置，并且选择的同心伴侣选择的伴侣工具栏会弹出。我不必选择板上的内部面，因为软件正在配合中心轴。我可以更改伴侣的类型或翻转伴侣的比对以及撤消伴侣。可以在属性管理器或图形区域的弹出工具栏中完成。请记住，直到单击绿色支票，才添加伴侣。
创建第一个伴侣。
I'll rotate around the entire assembly and move the pin so that I can select both flat faces and make those coincident. After selecting okay, the mates have been added to the Mates box. Once I'm done with the Mate command, I select okay at the top of the Property Manager to exit the command.
配偶添加到组件中。
现在，组件中有伴侣，我可以扩展配偶文件夹以查看它们。这有助于查看组件中的所有伴侣，但是当您寻找与零件有关的伴侣时，您可以扩展零件以查看此文件夹。单击伴侣会突出显示其所涉及的实体。
Mates folders.
即使我添加了伴侣，也仍然在销钉旁边。那是因为我仍然可以在其轴上旋转销钉。我不需要旋转，因此我将右键单击同心伴侣，然后选择锁定旋转。减去，所有自由度都被锁定了。如果您使用非圆柱形部分，则可以根据需要添加更多伴侣。但是，如果添加太多，您会收到警告，即该零件过于定义。
Lock Rotation option.
完全锁定的零件。
Lastly, I need to add in a second hinge plate. I could use Insert components again, but it might be easier to copy the first one. I can do this by selecting it in the Feature Manager tree, holding CTRL, and dragging it into the Graphics Area. Before I mate it, I have another configuration that I want to use. By right-clicking on the part, I can select the correct configuration at the top of the menu by selecting it in the pulldown and hitting the green check.
Changing the configuration used in the assembly.
Now, I’ll add in enough mates to position it, but not enough to fully lock it because I don't want to keep the hinge from rotating. Also, note that the second instance of the same part has a “2” after the name. I'll save the assembly by hitting Save and giving it a name.
Full assembly.
我想用铰链和门创建一个新的组件。我将不选择新命令，而是将其旁边的箭头展开，然后从零件/汇编中选择“ make Assembly”，以启动一个新的汇编，其中铰链汇编为第一部分。
Make Assembly from Part/Assembly command.
I'll place the hinge using the same steps as above except I’ll place it so that it’s floating. I’ll use the Insert Components command to bring in the door and click the green check to fix this at the origin, then use mates to attach the hinge to it. The last mate is a distance mate, specifying a set distance between the mate entities.
Hinge subassembly fully mated.
The HINGE ASSEMBLY is a subassembly. If you recall, in the hinge assembly the hinge could rotate, right? However, when you place a subassembly in an assembly, the positions of the parts are locked in the last saved position. I can show the rotation of the hinge by right-clicking on it and selecting, Make Subassembly Flexible. Keep in mind that this isn't the default behavior because it requires more processing. It's recommended to leave subassemblies rigid in large assemblies as much as possible.
Make Subassembly Flexible command.
