... ContinuedSketching in xDesign – Part 4
Defining Dimensions in xDesign As we’ve seen, one way to define the size and relationships between sketch objects is through constraints, which allows them to be adjusted in specific ways, depending on how the geometry is updated. Adding dimensions is
... ContinuedSketching in xDesign – Part 3
Sketch Entity Relations in xDesign Here, we have a sketch in xDesign that doesn’t have any dimensions added. This sketch is intended to create a mount for a vertical rod, which would be revolved around the left edge to create
... ContinuedSketching in xDesign – Part 2
The four main sketch entity types used in sketches are shown on the action bar, which are lines, rectangles, arcs, and circles. We’ll go through each of these in this order.
... ContinuedSketching in xDesign – Part 1
Many features require sketches as part of the base geometry, including the most fundamental features such as an “Extrude”, a “Revolve”, a “Sweep”, or a “Loft”. This makes it extremely important to know how to use a variety of sketch commands and relate them together properly.
