- Surface Finish Symbols
You can specify the surface texture of a part face by using a surface finish symbol. You can select the face in a part, assembly, or drawing document.
- Datum Feature Symbols
- Datum Targets
You can attach a datum target and symbol to a model face or edge in any document.
- Geometric Tolerance Symbols
The geometric tolerance symbol adds geometric tolerances to parts and drawings using feature control frames. The SOLIDWORKS software supports the ASME Y14.5-2009 Geometric and True Position Tolerancing guidelines.
- Dowel Pin Symbols
You can add dowel pin symbols to holes (circular edges, sketched circles, or arcs) in drawings. The symbol conforms to the size of the selected hole.
- Weld Symbols
You can use the Weld Symbol tool to add weld symbols to assemblies, drawings, vertices, and edges or faces of parts. The software supports ANSI, ISO, GOST, and JIS weld symbol libraries.
- Caterpillars
You can manually insert representations of weld beads as end treatments or caterpillar symbols in drawing documents.
- End Treatments
You can manually insert representations of weld beads as end treatments or caterpillar symbols in drawing documents. Use end treatment symbols to represent the end view (section) of a weld bead on a drawing.
- Using the Symbol Library
The Symbol Library lets you select multiple symbols from all the symbols provided by the SOLIDWORKS software. You can also use the Windows Character Map to select additional symbols to insert.
