Dimensioning Tool Drawing Tools Line Selection 3D Object Selection Building tools Changing Views Icons Browser Drop Menu New Design
4
Line Select Icons Select Lines: Used when selecting lines and manipulating work Select Constraints: Used when working with dimensions on drawing
5
3D Image Select Icons Select Edges: Used to select an edge of a 3D object Select Faces: Used to select a face of a 3D object Select Part: Used to select the entire part
6
Drawing Icons Delete Line Segment: Deletes Lines Constraints Separation: Determines distance between to objects. Constraints Size: Determines the length of a line
7
Building a 3D Object (Features) Extrude Profile: Uses a closed geometric shape to create solid objects by adding or subtracting material. Project Profile: Takes a closed geometric shape and projects it through a solid object, by adding or subtracting material.
8
Extruding Profile Using a closed geometric shape, you can add material around a workplane to build up 3D objects. Or remove sections of a 3D object
9
Project Profile Using a closed geometric shape, you can add or subtract material around a workplane Much more limiting than extrusion feature
10
Modifying 3D Objects Bend Edge: Rounds corners Chamfer edges: Cuts off corners Hollow/Shell Objects: Hollows out a solid object
11
Manipulating Object Wire Frame: Allows you to see only the frame work of the design. Transparent: Allows you to see only the design as if you see through it. Shaded/Enhanced: Allows you to see it as a solid.
12
Manipulating Object View Trimetric (also “shift-T”): View Object at an angle to see it in 3D. View Workplane: (also “shift-W”): View object wit workplane facing you.
13
Changing Views Autoscale “shift A”: Returns the design to optimal viewing. Zoom In: Needs veiwing box to be created. Zoom Out: Just needs to be selected to use Zoom in Zoom Out Autoscale
14
Browsers Selecting Drawing Design Surfaces Building and modifying 3D objects Selecting and working with parts
15
Starting a New Sketch Click on “Select Faces” and highlight the face of the object That you want to draw on. Then “Right Click /or go to “workplane Drop menu and choose “New Sketch”
16
Shelling an Object Click on “Select Faces” and highlight the face of the object that you want to make hollow. Then select the “shell Solids” icon and Choose the “offset” Shell Objects Icon
17
Rounding Feature 1) Select the edges you want to manipulate 2) Select the “rounding Feature” 3)Choose radius of the curve Rounding Feature
18
Chamfer Feature 1) Select the edges you want to manipulate 2) Select the “Chamfer Feature” 3)Choose “Set Back” of the angle Chamfer Feature
19
