To define a plate:
- Select the plate shape type (rectangular, circular, or user-defined).
- Define plate dimensions (number of dimensions depends on selected plate shape).
- Define plate thickness.
- Specify the plate material.
- Determine a family to which a plate will belong.
- If needed, select a surface finishing type (after you click More >>).
- Determine a plane of plate insertion and a desired offset value, denoting the distance to the insertion plane relative to UCS.
After you have defined the plate, specify its method of insertion:
|
Specify the insertion point and direction |
|
Define a polyline, rectangle, or circle depending on the selected type of plate |
|
Select an existing contour (polyline) - available for user-defined plates |
|
Specify an internal point of the existing contour (polyline) - available for user-defined plates |
