- 2D constraints
- Limit change, and define the shape of a sketch.
- 2D and 3D bidirectional associativity
- Updates are automatic between the 3D model and the associated 2D drawing. When you change the 3D model, the drawing updates automatically.
- 2D and 3D bidirectional associativity
- Updates are automatic between the 2D drawing and the associated 3D model. When you change the model dimensions in the drawing, the 3D model updates automatically.
- parameters and units
-
Parameters define the size and shape of features and control the relative positioning of components within assemblies.
- consumed and unconsumed sketches
- Consumed sketches are 2D sketches or profiles used to create a part or feature of a part. Consumed sketches are reusable. Unconsumed closed sketches are used to create a part or a feature of a part.
- reference geometry
- Project model edges, vertices, or work features onto the active sketch plane. Reference geometry is associated with the previously created geometry.
- extrude
- Add volume perpendicular to a 2D sketch.
- revolve
- Create a concentric extrusion around an axis or straight sketch line.
- loft
- Create an extrusion that modulates in shape from one sketch profile to the next.
- shell
- Create a cavity in a part with a specified wall thickness.
- sweep
- Create an extrusion of a sketched shape along a defined path.
- variable fillet
- Create a smooth blend from one radius to another and a straight blend between radii.
- setback radial fillet
- Create tangent continuous transitions between fillets on intersecting edges. You can specify separate setbacks for edges in intersections.
- ribs and webs
- Create ribs (thin-walled closed support shapes) and webs (thin-walled open support shapes).
- stitch surface
- Stitch adjacent surface edges of the same size together to form a quilt.
- split face
- Split part faces to add draft, or split a part and remove one side. Do face splits on solid and surface bodies and part splits on solid bodies.
- face draft
- Apply draft, or cant faces on molded or cast designs so they can be retrieved from molds.
- breakout view
-
Remove a defined area of material to expose obscured parts or features in a drawing view.
- suppress features
- Suppress and unsuppress the display of one or more features without deleting them. Suppressed features highlight as you move the cursor across them.
- collision detection
-
Identify incorrectly positioned components when you drive constraints to simulate the mechanical motion.
- tweaks and trails
- Explode a presentation view with specified tweaks and trails that are either showing or cleared.
- 3D animation
- Develop, play, and record animations of exploded views to show the order and path of tweaks in a complex assembly. Create detailed presentations of prototype designs or finished products.
Press F5 to play the animation.
