Fourth wonderful project based work for Solidworks. Earlier three can be found here :

I have attached the sketch drawing so that people can give it a try in any software.Due to time constraint didn't uploaded this project in other software format but very soon , it will be !

The intent of this project is to introduce and facilitate our application of an “In-Context Assembly” design. As opposed to a “Bottoms Up” approach, where parts are designed first and the assembly is built up from these parts, a “Top Down” approach starts with the assembly and you work your way down to individual parts that make up that assembly. The advantages of an In-Context Assembly design include:
• The ability to design in relationships to various related parts in the assembly so when one part changes the other related parts will change also including clearances and tolerances.
• Inclusion of out of context parts, such as off the shelf part models and already designed parts which can also be incorporated into an In-Context Assembly.

There are some disadvantages to In-Context Assembly design which can make the management of this form of modeling difficult and include:
• Some of the relationships in the In-Context Assembly referencing other parts in the assembly may change or get deleted and cause difficulty tracing and correcting errors.
• Parts may develop broken or missing “External Links” if not handled correctly.
• Parts of one In-Context assembly design are specific to that design and should not be used in other designs. These parts may change form between models and cause errors to both models.

All needed files have been uploaded.
Go Ahead , give it a try !!!
