Lesson Summary

Sketch booleans are a powerful new set of tools to create robust complex sketch geometry based on existing sketch objects. With sketch boolean operations users can add sketch objects together, subtract one object from the other, or just determine the intersecting region for a new object. Booleans simplify complex geometry creation while maintaining the parameters of the underlying geometry.

Benefits Summary

SOLIDWORKS Mechanical Conceptual accelerates sketch and geometry creation with Sketch Booleans

• Add subtract and intersect features creates quick clean complex sketches
• The underlying geometry parameters can be edited by toggling ‘show hidden’
• ‘make rigid’ locks the geometry for drag and placement operations
• With Sketch Booleans the sketching in SolidWorks Mechanical Conceptual is very robust giving consistent behavior.
