2016 x64 Edition.
2. From the top left tool bar, select File NewPartok.
3. To change the units system from metric to English (if you have not already been
prompted to do so), again navigate to the top left toolbar, and select ToolsOptions.

4. Click the “Document Properties” tab and left click “Units” on the vertical left list of
options. Select IPS units and click “ok”. The precision can also be adjusted here by
clicking the intersection of “Length” and “Decimals.” Change the precision to .123 for
this example, and click “ok”.

6. Select the desired units folder (ANSI Inch for English units).
7. Navigate to the desired part. Gears, sprockets and timing belts are listed under the
“Power Transmission” folder. The “Structural Members” folder contains a
comprehensive selection of aluminum and steel beams and parts that can be used to
quickly build a complex assembly. Explore the subfolders of the Toolbox to get a better
idea of what part templates already exist to help speed the drafting process.

How to make an editable gear:

1. Don’t forget to save the part! If the part is to be used in an assembly (search “assembly”
in the “SolidWorks Help” bar for more information), it must be saved in the same folder
as all other parts to be used in the assembly.
2. Gears are listed in the “Power Transmission” folder. Open this folder and open the
“Gears” folder.
3. Navigate and Right click “Spur Gear” from the listed options and left click “Create Part.”
The part should appear in the main editing window.
4. Change the options in the left hand column (titled “Configure Component”) to create
the desired gear. Try varying the dimensions and options from the various drop-down
menus in “configure component” panel to understand how the part can be edited.
