Design Intent
Capturing Design Intent is the most important aspect of successfully and efficiently using SolidWorks. Design intent is your plan as to how you are going to build your model and how it should behave when you make design changes. The way in which you create your model will determine how it can be changed. Some of the most important factors that contribute to capturing the correct design intent are as follows:
- Automatic (sketch) Relations
- Dimensioning methods
- Link Values
- Added Relations
- Using Equations
