Undo and then experiment with different settings for Justify, Width, and Height. Select the Polysolid tool and RMB Select Object and click on the wireframe sketch. I have set the delobj = 0 that all entities will be preserved. Turn off all layers except the Polysolid layer and make the Polysolid layer the active layer. Unfortunately, the Dashboard cannot be modified.ħ. (You should know how to customize the Tool Pallets from previous releases.) I prefer to have the tool description text turned off and I have added a few tools that I use often, particularly Shell, which were left off of the Dashboard. I prefer to have the Modify tab selected. In the lower right corner of the screen you will find the Tool Pallets. This will give you access to both the 2D Draw and the 3D Make tools.Ħ. Right Mouse Button (RMB) click in one of the control panels of the Dashboard and set the visibility of the control panels as shown. If you move the mouse to the gray bar in each of the control panels a down pointing chevron will appear that will reveal more tools if you click on it.ĥ.

In the upper right hand corner of the screen you will find the new Dashboard.Ĥ. Mather Pennsylvania College of Technologyģ. You may need to experiment with background settings to see you sketch linework. I would also turn on the LWT lineweight and experiment with the Settings display scale to get a thickness you can easily see.Ģ. The Dynamic User Coordinate System will allow you to sketch on planar faces of solids without having to manually change the UCS. Notice that there is a new tool in the tray marked DUCS. I consider the use of a grid the mark of an amateur. In almost 20 years of doing CAD I have not had anyone give me a convincing reason for using a grid except for a few narrowly defined cases. The first thing I would do is turn off the grid. This tutorial assumes that the user is completely familiar with creating precise 2D sketches of arcs, lines, polylines, and splines in any location as well as the 3D tools from previous releases.ġ.
