SOLIDWORKS Part Reviewer: Antique Radio Assembly Tutorial

By

Antique Radio Assembly: This assembly consists of 19 components (11 unique) including the case which is a multi-body solid that consist of all the external wood pieces. The dial turns and the AM dial numbers show inside the escutcheon. There is an limit angle mate that restricts the tuner to only rotate 175 degrees.

The radio knob has two configurations used in the assembly where the middle knob is slightly smaller than the three outside one.

Some simplified versions of the tubes and condenser are included to show patterning in an assembly. Under Linear Component Pattern drop down, “Feature Driven Component Pattern” was selected to quickly re-use the sheet metal part’s hole and tabs patterns to place the Vacuum Tubes and Capacitors.
