Create assembly drawing in solidworks

What is assembly? assembly is comprised of one or more SolidWorks Parts or Assemblies, and is used to model relationships between these subcomponents or subassemblies using relationships called  Mates . How many mates in solidworks? The purpose of mate is to create a mechanism or model that made from at least 2 parts.  mates in solidworks are in 3 categories: standard mates , mechanical mates and advanced mates .  to use mate you should go to assembly mode. select the parts you wanna to mate them and select a logical mate from mate icon in assembly tool bar or from inset> mate.  What is mate? Mates create geometric relationships between assembly components. As you add mates, you define the allowable directions of linear or rotational motion of the components. You can move a component within its degrees of freedom, visualizing the assembly's behavior. Some examples include: A coincident mate forces two planar faces to become coplanar. The fac...
