Mirrored Pads – The Typical Way!
Mirroring of Solid Features puts sketching plane “in the center” of the object!
Finished Product!
Things to Remember:
Relimitations Commands
Using Constraints (geometric)
Auto-Constraining
Zooming when appropriate
Undo History when in ‘trouble’
Looking at Tutorial 2.3
Looking at the sketch tools, during profiling, you can make straight lines – of known length and direction by “tabbing between fields” in the boxes above”
You can make arcs by clicking one of the “circle ICONS” and dragging the end point or tabbing to the radius entering the value and dragging to an end point
Or … maybe you can drag the endpoints around (like me)
When I tried to follow her instructions using the Sketch Tools Data Fields (which are geometrically live)
– I GOT INTO TROUBLE!
But it is “easy” if you use the tab key to move between fields!
Elongated Hole was Easy – Just Count the Grid-squares!
If grid is set right – --OR-- make the shape that you want and constraint the distance between the “end arcs” centers!
