Tutorial - Symmetry Draft

The document describes an exercise to create a pulley part using sketches and extrude features. Dimensions are provided to create three sketches on different planes. Steps describe using mid-plane extrusions, cuts, holes, fillets and symmetry to complete the design. Optional instructions are given to modify an existing part file instead of starting from scratch.

Exercise 12: Complete this part using the dimcnsions provided. Use
Pulley relations where applicable to maintain the design
intent.

This lab uses the following skills:

Draft Toggle on page 123
Introducing: Circles on page 126

Optional If you would like to usethe existing geometry, skip to Procedure. If


Sketching you would like to create the sketches, open a new mm part and use the
dimensions below. There are three sketches required, the rst created
on the Front Plane, the remaining two on the Right Plane.

2 Hanger.
Use the Hanger (blue) sketch and another Mid-
plane extrusion of 4mm with the sameamount
of draft.

3 Cut and hole.


Create a cut using the Center Cut sketch
(green). The cut is Through All- Both.
Add a 5mm diameter hole.

Create another hole, 3mm, centered above the


origin.

Design Intent Some aspects of the design intent for this part are:
1. The part must remain
symmetrical about the Right
plane.
2. The Transition requires
ats that are driven by the
distance between them.

Procedure Open an existing part.

3 Edit Feature.
Edit the H End Fillets feature to
add more edges. Select the four
new edges created by the ats.
