Part Modeling

3.12. -After drawing the circle for the shaft's hole the next step is to draw the circle

for the first screw. We'll make one hole, and then use a Circular Pattern to make

the rest as we did in the 'Housing', but in this case we'll use a "Cut Extrude" feature

to show a different approach. In this step we'll draw a circle and convert it to

construction geometry to dimension the locating circle's diameter. Draw a circle as

shown and convert it to "Construction Geometry" either by selecting it in the

graphics area and clicking the icon from the pop-up toolbar or activating the "For

construction" check box in the element's PropertyManager.

An advantage of locating the screw's hole using this approach is that you

can add a diameter dimension to the locating circle.
