Activity 5.5a CAD Model Features Part 1

Introduction:
In order to use CAD effectively as a design tool, the designer must have the skills necessary to
create, edit, and manipulate a 3D model of a part in order to create a realistic representation of an
imagined object. In this activity you will build on the CAD skills that you learned in Activity 5.2b
Introduction to CAD Skills. You will learn about and use additional tools and features available in
most CAD programs and apply your new CAD skills to the creation of more complex parts that will
be used in later activities (as components in the assembly of parts) to create complete products
(including a complete Automoblox vehicle and a Button Maker machine).
As you work through the exercises in this activity, pay particular attention to the environment in
which you are working. Several CAD tools can be used as sketch tools or features tools, and it is
important to understand the difference. For instance, sketch components (such as points or
shapes) can be patterned within a sketch. But pattern tools are also available outside of the
sketch environment to create patterns of features (such as holes or protrusions).

Equipment:

Computer with 3D CAD modeling software

Printer.

Procedure:
The exercises contained in this activity require the creation of new CAD files in which you will
reproduce sketches and forms represented in the displayed images. You have already created an
Automoblox project folder and a Practice project folder (per Activity 5.2b).
If you have not already done so, create a Button Maker project folder in which to store the Button
parts that you will create in this activity.

Introduction to Engineering Design Activity 5.5a CAD Model Features Part 1 Page 1

As you complete each exercise in this activity, save the associated CAD file in the appropriate
folder. It is important that all Automoblox parts be saved to a single project folder and that Button
Maker parts be stored in a separate project folder for later use.

determine the missing dimensions and write the appropriate values in the boxes (5pts. ea.),
and then create the appropriate geometry. Be sure to include a line to represent the axis
(construction line) of revolution at the center of the part. Note that you may toggle between
construction lines and sketch lines using the Construction switch in the Format panel of the
Sketch tab.

requires a hole center for each instance. Place the first hole
center by placing a new sketch
on the surface of the disc as shown in the image
here. Then place one point
to represent a single hole center. Note that you may want to
change the point switch (in the Format panel) to the center point
before placing
the point. A sketch point will appear as a small dot in the sketch; a center point (which is
automatically selected for hole center points) will appear as a dashed cross .

3. Next place a dimension from the Origin to the center point you just placed at 1.250.
