Tutorial #20: How to create USB head

We can see almost every PC device having USB interface, in fact this USB head I model by my USB mouse connector. Look simple right? Nope.. that what I’ve realize after half way done this tutorial. It’s take 37 pages of 58 steps to complete..

In this solidworks tutorial you will learn extrude boss/base, extruded cut, linear pattern and circular pattern. The best part is it’s free! You can share with your friends and I encourage you to!

Hi I wonder if anybody can help mw with this tutorial.

I’m new to SolidWorks so I don’t know that much at the mo! When I ‘extrude cut’ (part no. 25 of the tutorial) the extrude goes upwards but how do I make it go downwards into the solid?

Kind regards,

Bob

Nice tutorial but I have no idea when I reach part 51, I can’t make sense of it now.

The tutorial says: Click on smart dimension and dimension distance between rectangle edge to cross centreline to be as 0.03”

I don’t understand this part 

Any help would be great.

Kind regards,
Bob
