ROD Part Overview

Recall the functional requirements of the customer:

•
• The ROD is part of a sub-assembly that

positions materials onto a conveyor belt.

• The back end of the ROD fastens to the PLATE.

• The front end of the ROD mounts to the

customer's components.

• The customer supplies the geometric

requirements for the keyway cut and hole.

The ROD utilizes an Extruded Boss/Base feature

with a circular profile sketched on the Front Plane.

The ROD also utilizes the Hole Wizard feature for a

simple hole and the Extruded Cut feature. Explore

new features and techniques with the ROD.

Utilize the following features to create and modify

the ROD part:

• Extruded Boss/Base ~ : Create the Extruded

Boss/Base feature (Boss-Extrude 1) on the Front

Plane with a circular sketched profile. Use the

Circle Sketch tool.

, ,/

;Q~ The plane or face you select for the Base

sketch determines the orientation of the part.

• Hole Wizard ~ : Utilize the Hole Wizard feature

to create the first hole on the front face of the ROD.

Later, copy the first hole to the back face of the

ROD.
