Practical No.4: Draw and Print Two Simple 3-D Drawings using 3D Modeling Commands.
Practical Significance To create solid models of any mechanical components. To learn
different sketching and modeling commands. Also understand datum features and datum
plane theory. Study different geometric and modeling constraints. It also gives additional
vision as to what more changes can be done in the object.
THEORY
Mouse Buttons
Left Button -Most commonly used for selecting objects on the screen or
sketching.
Right Button –Used for activating pop-up menu items, typically used when
editing. (Note: you must hold the down button for 2 seconds)
Center Button – (option) Used for model rotation, dimensioning, zoom when
holding Ctrl key, and pan when holding Shift key. It also cancels commands
and line chains.
Center Scroll Wheel – (option) same as Center Button when depressed, only
it activates Zoom feature when scrolling wheel.
Procedure Exercise No.1-Createfollowinggiven 3D part using part modeling workbench
of CAD software.
A. Start Solid modeling parametric: As explained in practical No.01.
B. Set Working Directory: As explained in practicalNo.01.
C. Start part model environment-
1.Selecting File>New from the menu or click on the New File icon from the main toolbar.
. 2.Select Part option from the same window to sketch the drawing.Type name as
PRACTICAL4_EXERCISE1.Click OK button.
3.In the New dialog box, notice the default object Type is Part and Sub-type is Solid, these are the
correct options for creating a solid part. Give the suitable Name for the model. Uncheck the Use
default template and click OK. New File Box window will display on the screen.
5. Then from New File options dialog box select solid partmmns_part_solid or solid_part_mmksand
click OK.
D. Selecting the Sketching Plane for the Base Feature:
1 Now we have to create first base feature of the given part. So we need to draw a sketch of
first feature on any one of the default plane.
2 Click on Sketch button from part modeling tool bar. Then Sketch window will appear .
3.Select the correct plane as per the part orientation by just clicking on the default plane.
Click on Sketch button of the sketch window.
E. Creating and Dimensioning the Sketch for the Base Feature:
1. Select from Sketching tool bar to draw rectangle
2 To modify a dimension double-click on its value using the LMB, and then type a new
value 90 X 50 mm as per the drawing.
3 Select Extrude button of part modeling tool bar.
G. Creating and Dimensioning the Sketch for the Second Feature
1 Select from Sketching tool bar to draw rectangle.
2 Use constraint tool to coincident three sides of the above rectangle.
3 Select and then select line and edge of the first features a
4. To modify a dimension double-click on its value using the LMB, and then type a new value 20 mm
as per the drawing. Accept it by clicking on green colored Check mark.
5. Select EXTRUDE button of part modeling tool bar.
H.Selecting the Sketching Plane for the Third Feature:
1 Click on sketch button from part modeling tool bar. Then Sketch window will appear.
2 Take the cursor on the appropriate top plane according to given part, and click on it.
3 Click on Sketch of the sketch window.
4 Click on Orient View button to orient the view parallel to screen. Then top plane of the first
feature will ready for sketching of the third feature as shown in Figure.
I. Creating and Dimensioning the Sketch for the Third Feature.
1. Select RECTANGLE from Sketching tool bar to draw rectangle
2. Use constraint tool to coincident two sides of the above rectangle.
3. Select and then select line and edge first features .
4. To modify a dimension double-clickon its value using the LMB, and
then type a new value 40 X 20 mm as per the drawing. Accept it by
clicking on green colored Check mark.
5. Select EXTRUDE button of part modeling tool bar.
Exercise No.2- Create following given 3D part using part modeling workbench of CAD software.
A. Start Solid modeling parametric
B. Set Working Directory
C. Start part model environment:
1 Type name as PRACTICAL4_EXERCISE
2.Click OK button as shown in figure.
New File Box window will display on the screen.
3 Then from New File options dialog box select ‘solid_part_mmks’ and click OK.
4 Part modeling workbench will display on the screen.
D. Selecting the Sketching Plane for the Base Feature:
1. Now we have to create first base feature of the given part. So we need to draw a sketch of first
feature on any one of the default plane.
2.Click on Sketch button from part modeling tool bar. Then Sketch window will appear as
shown in Figure.
3. Select the correct plane as per the part orientation by just clicking on the default plane. Click
on Sketch button
4.Click on Orient View button to orient the view parallel to screen.
E. Creating and Dimensioning the Sketch for the Base Feature.
5. Activate the grid from the View option tool bar .
6. Click File>Options>Sketcher. Set the grid spacing by 5 mm . Click OK button.
Select LINE from sketching tool bar to draw line close loop profile as shown in figure .Click MMB to
exit.
F. To modify a dimension double-clickon its value using the LMB, and then type a new value as per the
drawing. Accept it by clicking on green colored Check mark.
7 Select button of part modeling tool bar.
G.Selecting the Sketching Plane for the second Feature:
1. Click on Sketch button from part modeling tool bar. Then Sketch window will appear.
2. Take the cursor on the appropriate plane according to given part, and click on it.
3. Click on Sketch of the sketch window.
4. Click on Orient View button to orient the view parallel to screen. Then plane of the
second feature will ready for sketching of the second feature as shown in Figure.
4 New definition dialog box will display, choose Empty with formatoption.
Browse format of the template prepared as practical4_ex2_templatefrom the
working directory.
5 A4 size template will available for part drawing as shown in Figure.
1. SelectView Displayoption. Choose Hidden option.
