In Layout-based Assembly Design in SOLIDWORKS<\/a>, you can switch back and forth between top-down and bottom-up design methods. You can create, edit, and delete parts and blocks at any point in the design cycle without any history-based restrictions. This is particularly useful during the conceptual design process, when one frequently experiments with and makes changes to the assembly structure and components.<\/p>\n

To Create a Layout-Based Assembly Design in SOLIDWORKS:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. \n
      \n
    1. Open a new assembly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \"Layout-Based<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n
          \n
        1. In the Begin Assembly Property Manager, click Create Layout . A 3D sketch opens, and layout appears in the Feature Manager design tree.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \"<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. \n
              \n
            1. Create sketch entities and group related entities into block and close the sketch.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              \"\"<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Similarly, the same procedure is performed for creating the remaining blocks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Make Part from Block Property Manager<\/h3>\n

                In assemblies, you can create parts from blocks in layout sketches.<\/p>\n

                To create a part from block:<\/h4>\n
                  \n
                1. Click Make Part from Block (Layout Tools toolbar).<\/li>\n
                2. Select one or more blocks from the layout sketch.<\/li>\n
                3. Make selections in the Property Manager as described below.<\/li>\n
                4. Click <\/i><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  Selected Blocks<\/h3>\n

                  Selected Blocks list the blocks that one selects.<\/p>\n

                  Block to Part Constraint<\/h3>\n

                  Creates a part that is projected from the plane of the block in the layout sketch, but not constrained to be coplanar with it.<\/p>\n

                  Constrains the part to be coplanar with the plane of the block in the layout sketch.<\/p>\n

                  \"\"<\/p>\n

                  After creating part, right click on the part in the Feature Manager design tree and click open part. Part workbench is opened and select Extrude Boss\/Base and select the sketch.<\/p>\n

                  \"\"<\/p>\n

                  Similarly, the same procedure is performed for remaining parts.<\/p>\n
