The back plates will pass through a cleaning washer machine and want to design a fixture to hold 20 of these back plates.
The back plates will pass through a cleaning washer machine and want to design a fixture to hold 20 of these back plates.
So what is your real question?
Do you want to know how to model the assembly, or the parts, or make the drawings?
What are your size requirements?
How do the plates fit on the fixture you show in the picture.
You are not giving us nearly enough information to even get a good idea of what you want.
Think of it this way: if someone came up to you and asked you the exact question you asked us, would you now what they want?
What questions would you have to ask them to get enough information to understand what they want or need?
Those things are what you need to tell us for us to give you any guidance to accomplish what you want.
Based on your picture, I would say you need to model each of the different part types and sizes that you show and then make an assembly of the parts.
Is this just a modeling exercise, or an Assembly exercise.
What is your end goal?
No.

Some very important steps if you are a NEW FORUM USER....
It's important to note: if you choose not to think for yourself, it's not likely others will do it for you. And, it is less likely others will think of you.
A number of people have responded here asking questions, because we can't help you without more information. How do you expect us to help if you won't answer any of them? And we will help you if we can, but we won't do your work for you (unless you're willing to pay someone for their time, and if this isn't for a school project).
Can you send me an email so that I can attach all the files that I have did and what I still need? because it seems that some people here are for making jokes and writing negative things. The parts that I did are 5 in total, I will really appreciate if you sent me your email so that the direct contact will be with you without saying any of those comments in here. The purpose of me learning solid works is personal, I am an electrical Engineer and want to learn it so I want to make it clear for everyone in here that I am not telling anyone to do my job.
I am so sorry for the late response, I will try to explain. I am not asking for a perfect assembly with specific measures, the assembly that I attached have several parts, I did the simple parts but still stuck in the base part which contains the rectangles so the only thing that I need is how can I make this part? how to start in order to obtain this form?. I hope I explained it better now.
File management is a critical component of learning to use SolidWorks - just as management of the parts on the shop floor is important or you will not be able to keep track of your inventory of parts and assemblies.
In Window Explorer create a New Folder named Fixture 2 Assembly.
In that folder place the files:
Fixture 2 Assem.sldasm
RX-TX End Fixture 2.sldprt
Rod End Fixture 2.sldprt
1.0 Dowel Pin.sldprt
0.5 Dowel Pin.sldprt
14.5in rod.sldprt
Fixture 2 Assem.slddrw
So now you should have a folder with the 7 files reference above in the folder.
Now - right click on the folder and select Send to Compressed (zipped) Folder.
Post back when you have completed these steps.
Actually Scott is one of the most helpful people here. He has also taken the time to put together a tutorial that gives instructions on how to ask questions and get complete replies, he posted the link here so you can follow it and then ask questions in a manner that we can help you.
J.Mather has asked several times if you would place the model here so we can get a better idea on what you are asking for. If you don't know how to do that, you open the drawing you have, or an assembly with the parts in it and do a Pack and Go of the assembly. You can then attach the zip file by using the "Advanced editor" found by clicking in the upper right corner of your post. There will then be an attach icon available. This information is in the link that Scott has asked you to review.
Honestly the guys have been asking questions trying to figure out how to help you but have so far not been able to figure out what you are looking for. You have not provided much information. From what I have read you could use a pair of clamps and a string to hold the plate up by a string and wash it with a hose. We assume that is not what you want but really don't know because we have no idea what a "cleaner Washing Machine" is. In this country a Washing Machine is an appliance in our house that has a tub we put our clothes in that will wash and spin dry our clothes. Again we assume that is nor what you want, but not knowing what a cleaner washing machine is to you, we don't know.
So now do you understand why people keep asking questions that you take as trouble? We can't help if we don't know what you are asking!
Hello Ziad. In your first post you stated that you have a back plate that is 1.4 inches by 1.9 inches in size and you need to create something to hold 20 of them for washing. Ok, that makes sense. The drawing you provided as the part you need to wash appears to be an example of a different fixturing device that holds a different part. The assembly in the drawing you provided is 14" by 14.5", so it couldn't be the back plate you describe. Is my assumption correct?
I am going to assume that you are attempting to create a part similar to the drawing you provided to hold your back plate part.
Here are the steps I would try to accomplish the task in:
Hope that clears up some of the confusion everyone is having and helps get you started with some ideas.

You never attached these simple parts here so that help can be offered? I don't understand the problem without geometry.
Question 3. Why are you using SolidWorks for design and then resorting back to mere words and pictures to try to convey your Design Intent? If a picture is worth a thousand words, the 3D geometry might be worth a thousand pictures. Think about it!
There is the equivalent of thousands of dollars worth of help available for free on this forum, but you are not using geometry to convey your Design Intent.
I am sorry again,
I mentioned before that I work with solid works once I have free time, I attached all the .SLDPRT files+ SLDRWs that I have. As I mentioned before I have finished with the parts. I don't know how to make the final assembly which is also attached. I have the drawings but I do not know how to interpret them, I really hope you have a more clear idea of what I am trying to explain. I also have a question, for example in the rod end fixture part how can I edit the sketch and change its dimensions including the circles dimensions?, I tried clicking on the part, edit sketch but could not edit that because the real sketch did not show up I also attached a photo for that named 22. I really appreciate your time and help.
Seriously? How about this? Machine everything with 1/16 end mill in one plate! Why such an elaborate fixture? am I missing something?
