Solid Modelling a Sliding Bevel Blade

Drawing the Blade

Learning Intentions to:

• use the line tool - sketch a line• add or create a dimension/s• add a relationship between two

points – ‘coincident’• add a relationship between two points – ‘merge’ • extrude a sketch - Boss/Base• use Real / View Graphics• use Sketch Entities - Text
