The Mechanical Solutions option for SmartSketch includes symbol sets that let you create and place GD&T (Geometric Dimension and Tolerancing) and Weld Symbols into SmartSketch drawings. The symbols are placed through a simple drag-and-drop operation from the Symbol Explorer. You can also place text fields that build up the symbols via this same drag-and-drop operation. Several of the symbols feature multiple representations that you can easily access with a simple right-mouse click on your placed symbol. Once you see the representation you like, you simply left-mouse click it to change the display of the symbol in your drawing.

GD&T symbols include input fields - such as tolerance value - which are easily accessed with a simple double-click of your mouse; you can then edit the input field to change its value. You can access these symbols when you open a Mechanical template in SmartSketch. GD&T and Weld Symbols for SmartSketch include both Metric and Imperial templates.

You can install the Mechanical Solutions option using the Custom setup feature. For more information on installing SmartSketch options, see the SmartSketch Installation Guide accessible from the Help > Printable Guides command from within the software.
