Creating Drafting Geometry

Upon completion of this lesson you will be able to identify and apply the
new or enhanced techniques of creating drafting geometry found within the
interactive drafting workbench for …

Explicit Geometrical Constraints

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002

Explicit Geometrical Constraints V5R8

Ability to define Explicit constraints for geometrical constraints

Allows the creation of geometrical constraints between sketched
elements or between sketched and generated geometry

Note: The command has the same

look and feel as in the 3D
Sketcher command

Dimensioning and Annotation

Upon completion of this lesson you will be able to identify and apply the
new techniques of creating dimensions and annotations found within the
Interactive Drafting workbench by…

Creating Chamfer Dimensions

Creating Roughness Associative Orientation
Creating Coordinate Dimension Tables
Creating Stacked or Cumulated Dimensions Systems
Adding Frames or a Sub Frames
Creating Text with Leaders

Creating Chamfer Dimensions V5R8

A new Tools toolbar ability to select the Format and Representation

Format Representation

Length x Length : 6 X 10
Length x Angle : 6 X 60°
Angle x Length : 60° x 6
Length : 6

Creating Roughness Associative Orientation V5R8

Ability for Roughness symbol to remain oriented in relation with the

geometry

Roughness remains oriented

in relation with the geometry

Note: The Orientation is automatically created when an element is

selected for the anchor location.

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002

Creating Coordinate Dimension Tables V5R8
Ability to create Coordinate Dimension tables of sketched or generated
points
Ability to select axis system used for coordinates computation :
2D view, 2D user defined
3D absolute axis, 3D local axis
Multi-criteria sort

Note: Same look and feel used in the

Hole Dimension Table command
Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002
Creating Stacked or Cumulated Dimensions Systems V5R8

Ability to automatically align the dimension values during creation

Tools->Options->Dimensions

Note: Functionality does not work for radius/diameter

dimensions.

2D Components

Upon completion of this lesson, you will be able to identify and apply the
new techniques of using and modifying 2D Components found within the
Interactive Drafting workbench …

Annotation Orientation in 2D Component Instances

Modify text in 2D Component Instances

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002

Annotation Orientation in 2D Component Instances V5R8

Ability to fix the text orientation in the 2D Component. In the 2D

Component Instances, the text will keep the same orientation even if the
2D component instance is rotated or flipped.

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002

Modify text in 2D Component Instances V5R8

Ability to modify 2D component text annotation or attribute links on

each instance

Note: once text becomes modifiable, it is not

possible to make it non- modifiable. Also when a
2D component text becomes modifiable, the new
and also the created instances text becomes
modifiable.

Note: for 2D component instances created from a catalog; if

the text becomes modifiable within the catalog you have to
synchronize the external reference to make the 2D
Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002 component instance text modifiable .
Finalizing the Drawing and Printing

Upon completion of this lesson, you will be able to identify and apply the
new techniques of finalizing and printing a drawing found within the
Interactive Drafting workbench …
