: You can apply final touches such as Fillets (rounding edges) or Chamfers (creating angled edges). Key Professional Features

: You begin by selecting a plane (Front, Top, or Right) and drawing 2D shapes like rectangles or circles using the Sketch Toolbar .

: Adding geometric relations (like horizontal or vertical) and dimensions ensures your sketch is "fully defined" and accurate for production.

SolidWorks operates through three primary document types that work together to create a complete design:

: 2D technical documents used for manufacturing, containing critical information like dimensions and section views. The Design Workflow

: The basic building blocks. These are individual 3D objects created from 2D sketches.

: You turn 2D sketches into 3D geometry using features like Extruded Boss/Base (adding material) or Extruded Cut (removing material).
