Create a Diagonal Tube

Following the same steps used to create the horizontal tube, create a diagonal tube in the frame subassembly.

1. On the ribbon, click Assemble tab Component panel Create . In the Create In-Place Component dialog box:
   • Enter DiagTube as the part name.
   • Base the part on the Standard(mm).ipt template.
   • Click OK.
2. Expand the Origin folder of the Frame subassembly. Click the XY Plane in the Model browser to align the part to the subassembly origin.
3. Exit the initial sketch and then delete Sketch1 to tidy up the Model browser.
4. Derive the FRAME SKETCH sketch and User Parameters from SkeletonBase.ipt into the new part.
5. Extrude the profile highlighted in the following image by first linking the extrusion distance to the derived TubeSize parameter.
6. Add a 5 mm fillet to the long edges of the part.
7. Shell the part and link the shell thickness to the derived TubeThickness parameter.
