Introduction

This tutorial concludes the basic introduction to SolidWorks, using an electronics box (E-Box) as an example. In the previous tutorials, we designed a simple box, starting from zero ; followed by adding mounting lugs, with attention to geometric relations and continuing with other mounting features, using feature copying and pasting.

There are still a few features to be designed to complete the box. An important feature that is frequently forgotten is a pass-through for the wires needed to activate the circuit board. After that, we will place a label in raised lettering on the box. To finish, we will design a close-fitting lid to cover the box.
