Part Modeling

A different way to change these dimensions is using the

"lnstant3D" functionality. The way it works is very simple:

instead of having to edit the sketch, we select the feature that

we want to modify either in the FeatureManager or the graphics area lnstant3D

(in this case one of the inside faces which were made with the Cut

Extrude) and click-and-drag the blue dots at each of the dimensions

that need to be modified until we get the desired value without having

to edit the sketch. Dragging the mouse pointer over the ruler markers

will give you values in exact increments. Depending on the speed of your PC and

the feature being modified, lnstant3D may be slow as the model is being

dynamically updated .

A third option to change the dimensions is to click on the dimension's value

and type a new one. If lnstant3D is not active, double-click in the feature to

show its dimensions, and double click a dimension to change its value; after

changing the dimension's value we need to rebuild the model.
