The 2D Layout for 3D Design workbench enables you to create 2D
geometry.

Before You Begin Creating 2D Geometry in 2D Layout for 3D Design: You should be familiar with important concepts.
|
Create a profile: Use the Tools Palette or click to define lines and arcs. |
|
Create a rectangle: Use the Tools Palette or click the rectangle vertices one after the other. |
|
Create an oriented rectangle: Use the Tools Palette or click to define a first side for the rectangle and then a point corresponding to the rectangle length. |
|
Create a parallelogram: Use the Tools Palette or click to define a first side for the parallelogram and then a point corresponding to the parallelogram length. |
|
Create an elongated hole: Use the Tools Palette or click to define the center to center axis and then a point corresponding to the curved oblong profile length and angle. |
|
Create a cylindrical elongated hole: Use the Tools Palette or click to define the center to center circular axis and then a point corresponding to the curved oblong profile length and angle. |
|
Create a keyhole profile: Use the Tools Palette or click to define the center to center axis and then two points corresponding to both radii. |
|
Create an hexagon: Use the Tools Palette or click to define the hexagon center and dimension. |
Create centered rectangles: Use the Tools Palette to define the rectangle center and dimensions. | |
Create centered parallelograms: Use the Tools Palette to define a first side for the parallelogram and then a point corresponding to the parallelogram length. | |
|
Create a circle: Use the Tools Palette or click to define the circle center and then one point on the circle. |
|
Create a three point circle: Use the Tools Palette or click to define the circle start point, second point and end point one after the other. |
|
Create a circle using coordinates: Use the Circle Definition dialog box to define the circle center point and radius. |
|
Create a tri-tangent circle: Click three elements one after the other to create a circle made of three tangent constraints. |
|
Create a three point arc: Use the Tools Palette or click to define the arc start point, end point and second point one after the other. |
|
Create a three point arc with limits: Use the Tools Palette or click to define the arc start point, end point and second point one after the other. |
|
Create an arc: Use the Tools Palette or click to define the arc center, then the arc start point and end point. |
|
Create a spline: Click the points through which the spline will go. |
Connect curves with a spline: Click the first, then the second element to connect. | |
|
Create an ellipse: Use the Tools Palette or click to define the ellipse center, major semi-axis and minor semi-axis endpoints one after the other. |
|
Create a parabola by focus: Click the focus, apex then the two extremity points. |
|
Create a hyperbola by focus: Click the focus, center and apex, then the two extremity points. |
|
Create a conic: Click the desired points and eccentricity for creating an ellipse, a circle, a parabola or a hyperbola, using tangents, if needed. |
|
Create a line: Use the Tools Palette or click the first and second points of the line. |
|
Create an infinite line: Use the Profile toolbar or click the first and second points of the infinite line. |
|
Create a bi-tangent line: Click two elements one after the other to create a line that is tangent to these two elements. |
|
Create a bisecting line: Click two lines. |
Create a line normal to a curve: Click a point and then the curve. | |
|
Create a point: Use the Tools Palette or select the point horizontal and vertical coordinates. |
|
Create a points using coordinates: Enter in the Point Definition dialog box cartesian or polar coordinates. |
|
Create an equidistant point: Enter in the Equidistant Point Definition dialog box the number and spacing of the points to be equidistantly created on a line or a curve-type element. |
|
Create a point using intersection: Create one or more points by intersecting curve type elements. |
|
Create a point using projection: Create one or more points by projecting points onto curve type elements. |
