SolidWorks is a technical drawing software platform that allows engineers, mechanics and drafters to draw 3D models of their equipment in order to describe exactly how it functions. A straight knurl is a geometric pattern that provides grip and texture to the surface of an object. SolidWorks allows straight knurling to be applied to a shaft through the "Edit" menu on the main toolbar of the software.
Open your project in SolidWorks.
Click on "Edit" from the main toolbar menu, hover over "Appearance" and then click on "Texture."
Click on the shaft you wish to apply the knurl to in the "Graphics" section.
Click on "Texture Property Manager." Click on "Metal Machined."
Select "Knurl 1" or "Knurl 2" depending on your preference of pattern. Click "OK." The straight knurl will be applied to the shaft.
