What are Model Items in SOLIDWORKS?

The Model Items feature in SOLIDWORKS allows you to automatically insert dimensions, annotations, and other model-related details into your drawing views. It’s a powerful tool that can save you significant time when creating drawings directly from your models. However, small tweaks like managing the "Use Dimension Placement in Sketch" option can make a huge difference in your efficiency.

Why Clear the Option?

Clearing the "Use Dimension Placement in Sketch" option can prevent dimensions from being automatically placed in the sketch entities, which often leads to a cleaner drawing and fewer adjustments. This minor change helps keep your drawings more manageable, saving you time when creating, editing, and organizing your documentation.

I’ll walk you through the process step-by-step and explain the benefits of using this setting adjustment, giving you a smoother SOLIDWORKS experience.
