Working Directory: Modeling: Front

The document provides instructions to create a lever part using the sketching and feature creation tools in a CAD program. It describes 10 steps to: 1) create a new part file and initial sketch, 2) sketch the outline and add dimensions, 3) create an extruded cut feature, 4) add a hole using a concentric sketch and cut, 5) add a circular rib feature using a concentric sketch, and 6) close and erase the part file. The lever part is constructed using sketches, extruded cuts, and concentric features to efficiently create the geometry based on provided dimension values.

Create the lever as shown below using the Arc and Circle tools.

Working Directory: modeling

Figure 1 1. Create a new part. Choose Type new_part8_ and your initials and hit 2. Set up a sketch to create the first feature. Choose Choose Placement Choose the Define button Select the Datum Plane named FRONT as the Sketch Plane

Choose the Sketch button Choose the Close button in the References dialog 3. Turn the display of the Datum Planes and Coordinate Systems off. 4. Zoom in on the display until the reference lines appear approximately as shown below.

Figure 2 5. Sketch the outline of the feature. Choose the Arc Flyout Choose the Arc, Center Point ( Sketch the arc as shown below ) option from the flyout

Figure 3 Click the MMB to stop the arc draw function Double-click with the LMB on the text of the radius dimension that was created with the arc...type 10 as the new value for the dimension and hit

Figure 4 A note about the initial scale in the Sketcher Zoom out and pan a bit to the left to give yourself room to sketch some more curves

Figure 5 Choose the Line tool ( Sketch a horizontal line )

Figure 6 Choose Choose the 3 Point Arc tool ( Sketch the arc as shown below An important note: the size of the arc is not that important, but you want to get the arc to be tangent (T) to the line where it starts and you want to make sure that it is larger (in diameter) than the 10.00 arc you started the sketch with. ) from the flyout

Figure 7 Choose the Line tool ( Sketch a horizontal line )

Figure 8 Choose the Selection tool ( )

Change the dimension values to match those shown below (Note that the dimensions for the arcs are radius dimension, not diameter dimensions)

Figure 9 Choose the Continue tool ( )

Type 6 for the Depth (

) and hit

Choose the Both Sides icon as shown below

Figure 10 Choose from the Dashboard

Select anywhere in the graphics area that is not near the part to deselect the feature you just created

Figure 11 6. Display the Default Orientation.

Figure 12 7. Go back to Hidden Line display and turn the display of the Datum Planes on.

Figure 13 8. Create a hole on the left end of the lever using a Cut feature.

Figure 14 Choose Choose Placement Choose the Define button Since this feature is going to be Sketched on the same plane as the previous feature, and be created in the same direction, you can utilize the Use Previous option. Choose the Use Previous button in the Sketch dialog

Figure 15 Choose the Sketch button Choose the Close button in the References window Turn the display of the Datum Planes off Choose the Circle Flyout Choose the Concentric Circle tool ( )

Select the circular solid edge as shown below...pick a point on the screen to define the diameter of the circle...click the MMB to exit the Create Circle mode

Figure 16 Change the dimension on the circle to 10

Figure 17 Choose the Continue tool ( Choose the Intersect All icon ( ) )

You are now going to use the Options pop-up pane. The contents of this pane differs based upon the type of feature you are creating. In this case, you are going to use the pane to specify that the Cut feature you are creating should Intersect All Surfaces on both sides (Side 1) and Side 2) of the Sketch Plane. Choose the Options tab as shown below

Figure 18 Notice that Side 1 is already set to Through All. All you need to do is to set Side 2 to Through All. Choose Through All for the Side 2 option as shown below:

Figure 19 Choose Choose Return to Shaded Mode ( )

Return to the Default Orientation

Figure 20 9. Create a circular rib that is concentric to the large circular edge on the right end of the part. Choose

Choose Placement Choose the Define button Choose the Use Previous button in the Sketch dialog Choose the Sketch button Choose the Close button in the References dialog Choose Choose the Concentric Arc tool ( Set the display to Hidden Line Sketch the arcs as shown below )

Figure 21 Choose the Line tool ( )

Sketch two vertical lines; one each between the ends of the arcs at the top and at the bottom

Figure 22 Choose the Selection tool ( )

Hold down the LMB over the dimensions as shown below, as long as you hold down the mouse button and move the mouse, you can drag the dimension

Figure 23 Change the dimensions of the arcs to match those shown below

Figure 24

Choose the Continue tool ( Choose

Figure 25 Type 30 for the Depth and hit Choose Shade the display

Figure 26 10. Close the part. Choose File

Choose Erase Choose Current Choose Yes
