On the completion of this chapter, you will be able to:  \n• Define and incorporate Design Intent in a:  \n• Sketch, Feature, Part, Assembly and Drawing document.  \n• Utilize the available SolidWorks Design Intent tools:  \n• Comments, Design Binder, ConfigurationManager, dimensions, equations, design tables and features.  \n• Identify the correct Reference planes:  \n• 2D and 3D Sketching.  \n• Insert sketch Reference planes.  \n• Comprehend the Parent/Child relationship.  \n• Recognize and address Sketch states:  \n• Fully Defined, Over Defined, Under Defined, No Solution Found and Invalid Solution Found.  \n• Identify and utilize the following Sketch Entities tools:  \n• Line, Corner Rectangle, Center Rectangle, 3 Point Corner Rectangle,  \n3 Point Center Rectangle, Parallelogram, Straight Slot, Centerpoint Straight Slot, 3 Point Arc Slot, Centerpoint Arc Slot, Instant3D, Polygon, Circle, Perimeter Circle, Centerpoint Arc, Tangent Arc, 3 Point Arc, Ellipse, Partial Ellipse, Parabola, Conic, Spline, Style Spline, Spline on Surface, Equation Driven Curve, Point, Centerline, Text, Plane, Route line and Belt/Chain.  \n• Classify and utilize the following Block tools:  \n• Make Block, Edit Block, Insert Block, Add/Remove, Rebuild, Saves Block, Explode Block and Belt/Chain.  \n• Recognize and utilize the following Spline tools:  \n• Add Tangency Control, Add Curvature Control, Insert Spline Point, Simplify Spline, Fit Spline, Show Spline Handle, Show Inflection points, Show Minimum Radius and Show Curvature Combs.  \n• Reuse an existing 2D Sketch.  \nDesign Intent  \nWhat is design intent? All designs are created for a purpose. Design intent is the intellectual arrangements of features and dimensions of a design. Design intent governs the relationship between sketches in a feature, features in a part and parts in an assembly. The SolidWorks definition of design intent is the process in which the model is developed to accept future modifications. Models behave differently when design changes occur.  \nDesign for change. Utilize geometry for symmetry, reuse common features, and reuse common parts. Build change into the following areas that you create: sketch, feature, part, assembly and drawing.  \nWhen editing or repairing geometric relations, it is considered best practice to edit the relation vs. deleting it.  \nDesign Intent in a Sketch  \nBuild design intent in a sketch as the profile is created. A profile is determined from the Sketch Entities. Example: Rectangle, Circle, Arc, Point, Slot etc. Apply symmetry into a profile through a sketch centerline, mirror entity and position about the reference planesand Origin. Always know the location of the Origin in the sketch.  \nBuild design intent as you sketch with automatic Geometric relations. Document the decisions made during the up-front design process. This is very valuable when you modify the design later.  \nA rectangle (Center Rectangle Sketch tool) contains Horizontal, Vertical and Perpendicular automatic Geometric relations. Apply design intent using added Geometric relations if needed. Example: Horizontal, Vertical, Collinear, Perpendicular, Parallel, Equal etc.  \nExample A: Apply design intent to create a square profile. Sketch a rectangle. Apply the Center Rectangle Sketch tool. Note: No construction reference centerline or Midpoint relation is required with the Center Rectangle tool.
