Problem
Envelope Components are excellent for visual aid and reference when modeling an assembly in SOLIDWORKS. They are removed from the bill of materials and any mass property calculations, but can be utilized to understand spacing and clearance within an assembly.
Since the envelope components are considered references, they are not included in drawing views by default. However, there are times when it is desirable to include these envelope components in drawings.
Solution
Show Envelope Components in a drawing view using the following steps:
- Right-click on the drawing view
-
Select "Properties..." from the menu
-
Click on the checkbox "Show Envelope" under the "View Properties" tab of the pop-up menu
-
Optional: The line style used to represent envelope components can be changed by going to Tools > Options... > Document Properties > Line Font. Then select "Envelope Components" and the drop-down arrow below "Style:".
-
Once completed, the envelope component(s) should appear the drawing view
