3D Connector

Workshop

1. NEW MODEL
   
2. RECTANGLE (120 x 80) and define it as a BOX.
   (height 1 = 0; height 2 = 12)
   
3. Round corners (radius 15 mm) and draw circles (bore holes) (result is immediately visible in 3D). Measure the plate.
   
   Tip

   Switch on the 3D axes so that you have a better overview of the current work plane (WP).
   

4. SELECT WORK PLANE ORIGIN and place it on the upper surface of the plate (snap mode on center surface).
   
5. NEW MODEL
   
6. Draw the upper rectangle (60 mm x 50 mm), round the corners (radius 10 mm) and enter a parallel contour (4 mm inside).
   
7. Define as BOX (height 1 = 0; height 2 = 40) and tap both contours.
   
8. Select WORK PLANE ON SURFACE and tap the front of the profile (60 x 50) in the shaded model. (P1)
   
   
9. Draw the circle (radius 7 mm) and define it as a BOX.
   (height 1 = 2; height 2 = -62).
   
10. Perform the Boolean operation A MINUS B. (A = profile, B = bore).
    ATTENTION: Object A remains.
    
11. Place the working plane on the upper edge of the profile (60 x 50).
    
12. Draw the contour of the recess (56 x 46) and define it as a BOX (height 1 = -5; height 2 = 2).
    ATTENTION: Parts that are used for the Boolean calculation should always extend beyond the edges of the Object A!
    
13. Perform Boolean operation A MINUS B.
    
14. Reset the work plane. (RESET WORK PLANE)
    
15. Parallel contour (2 mm INSIDE), draw the outer contour and hole and define it as a BOX (height 1 = -2; height 2 = 10)
    
16. Perform Boolean operation A MINUS B.
    
17. Save drawing temporarily.
18. Now create a new plot yourself, which should look similar to the illustration below. Then set dimensions for the top view and the section.
