SOLIDWORKS Part Reviewer: Complex Machine Part 4

Complex Machine Part 4: This is a machined part that has extruded features, some revolved features, and some special cuts that include boundary and sweep cuts. This part is an example of a multibody solid. It has 14 different bodies which could be separated out into their own part files. A Helix/Spiral is used to create the Sweep path. A derived sketch creates a link to the original sketch, a parent child relationship where if you change the original sketch the derived sketch will automatically update. The Delete Body removes construction surface geometry to eliminate clutter and any confusion for down-stream users.
