SOLIDWORKS Part Reviewer: Motor Slide Base Tutorial
Motor Slide Base: This model demonstrates the use of a time saving technique called a Smart Component. A Smart Component allows you to associate or “package together” other necessary components and features when placing a part in an assembly. The associated
