This task shows you how to place
cutouts in the two plates just created. You will first sketch the cutout contour. You can do so in a new geometrical set of the Part containing construction geometry. |
|||
1. | Activate the Part containing the construction geometry to switch to the Wireframe and Surface Design workbench, and insert a new geometrical set (Insert -> Geometrical set). | ||
Don't forget to work without links when creating construction geometry. | |||
2. | Click the Sketcher icon, then
select the plane in which you want to sketch the contour. The Sketcher workbench opens. |
||
3. | Using Sketcher tools, sketch the contour. | ||
4. | Double-click the root product to return to the Structure Design workbench. | ||
5. | Click the Cutout
icon. The Cutout dialog box opens. |
||
6. | Select the two plates in which you want to place cutouts. | ||
7. | Click the Contour
field and select the contour you sketched, then a grid line in the Y
direction to define the angle of the cutout. Note: When you make a multi-selection of plates, the After Forming cutting mode only is available. |
||
8. | Click OK
in the Cutout dialog box to place the cutout. Cutouts are visible in the geometry area. |
