To find the centres of cylindrical 3D CAD models and align them. A single component part, used to create an assembly later on. To join the face of a 3D model to another face. CAD library Sketch A directory of commonly used parts. The name given to the CAD drawing feature used to create a profile. At Higher, in addition to those at National 4 and 5 Constraint Add Profile Dimension tool used to lock 2D geometry to a particular shape, size or position. Used in conjunction with features to describe an addition to the 3D model. The name given to a 2D shape, prior to being used to make a 3D feature. Radial array Workplane Array Projected edge An item repeated in a circle with regular spacing. A surface where sketches can be applied. Most CAD packages will provide three (elevation, end elevation and plan), but more can be added by the user. A method of repeating a shape along a line, in a box or round a circle. To select an edge from a CAD model or feature and generate it as a new line in a sketch. Fixed Vertices Edge Faces To hold a 3D CAD model in a fixed point, without applying any constraints. Usually applied to the component in an assembly. The ‘corners’ or where edges meet on a 3D object. The edges of a 3D object. The face of a 3D object. Loft Irregular fillet Linear array Box array A command two or more profiles on workplanes that are spaced apart, are joined to create a 3D feature. A rounding of an edge, where the radius will change. An item repeated along an edge, with regular spacing. An item repeated in a square or rectangle, with regular spacing. Irregular chamfer Extrude along a path Intersect The removal of an edge by a cut, where the distance changes along the length of the edge. A profile that revolves around an axis, but has an offset or pitch’ distance. Often used to model threads, screws or springs. A profile that has been extruded by following a set route or ‘path’. Two 3D CAD features that pass through one another, with the result that only the area that the two touch remains. Everything else is deleted.
