Creating an Assembly

Next, you create the assembly and add the SOLIDWORKS Toolbox hardware components.

  1. Create an assembly and add two instances of block.SLDPRT to the assembly.
    For the instructions on creating an assembly, see Lesson 2 - Assemblies.
  2. Change one of the instances to a different color so you distinguish between the two.
  3. Add three Coincident mates to align the faces of the blocks.
  4. Click File > Save to This PC and save the assembly as blocks.SLDASM to the same location as the part.
