Creating Axes

Image
Creating Axes Video link :-  Creating Axes Key Point    You use axes with sketch based features such as shafts and grooves, and as a mirror line for the Symmetry and Mirror command.      Just like construction lines, axis lines are not visible outside the sketch. Prerequisites    You must be in Sketch mode and Dimensional  and Geometrical Constraints  active.   Creating an Axis Step 1: Create a new 3D Part from the  Add drop down menu and then select a plane to create a sketch within it.   Remember to use the Position Sketch  icon to create the sketch and then select a plane from the Specification Tree and then click OK  in the Sketch Positioning  dialog box.   Step 2:  Select the Axis  icon .   Step 3: In the Graphics Window, pick the Start Point  or enter the H  and V values for the start point and press TAB key. The text boxes change allowing you to define the endpoint.   Step 4: Pi...

Creating Lines

Creating Lines Objectives    Create lines in a sketch. Video link :-  Creating Lines Prerequisites    In the Sketch section the Dimensional  and Geometrical Constraints  should be active.           All SmartPick  options must be active. Note  Use SmartPicks  to increase productivity. Look at the geometric symbols that appear when constructing geometry. By reviewing these symbols, you will know if you are creating unwanted geometric constraints. Hold SHIFT to deactivate SmartPick when creating geometry. Double-click the icon to use the same command continuously.   Create a Line Using Coordinates Step 1: For this exercise you will first create a new part and a sketch within it. This sketch can then be used for the rest of the following Line exercises. Begin by creating a new 3D Part.   Select Position Sketch  icon. Then create a sketch on the YZ plane and select OK  in the Sketch Positioning  dial...

Creating Points

Creating Points Objectives    Create points.    Create points using coordinates.    Create equidistant points.    Create intersection points.    Create projection points. Video link :-  Creating Points Prerequisites    The Sketch tools  toolbar must be visible, and Dimensional  and Geometrical  constraints should be activated.    All SmartPick  options must be active.           Make sure to be working in Millimeters  for this lesson. Go to ME > Preferences .   In the Preferences dialog go to General > Parameters and Measure , under the Units  tab and select Length  and click the drop down menu to select Millimeter (mm)  as shown in the image below. Create a Point by Clicking Step 1: Create a new 3D part. Select the Model section of the action bar and click on Positioned Sketch .   Step 2: The Sketch Positioning  dialog appears. For Planar Support the Type...
