Create the rectangular plate with patterned pegs as shown in the images below. The function allows the user to make copies of an existing feature Rectangular Pattern in one direction or two directions simultaneously. Existing edges or the axes of the Cartesian coordinate grid must be selected to identify the desired direction(s). Create a 6 in. wide x 4 in. high rectangle and extrude the rectangle to a depth of .5 in. Use the following image of the sketch to draw the circle that will become the peg used in the pattern. Select the Rectangular Pattern tool from the Pattering section of the ribbon bar to replicate the existing cylindrical extrusion six times in the horizontal direction and four times in the vertical direction. . Save the file in your Practice project folder as RectangularPattern.ipt. Create the Base Plate for the Button Maker using the dimensioned pictorial below. Create one of the holes in the bottom of the plate into which the rubber feet are screwed. Then use the Rectangular Pattern tool to pattern four holes on the bottom. Next create one of the through drilled (straight) holes and use another rectangular pattern to create the second drilled through hole. Then create the countersink holes. Use the function to apply a to all of the Chamfer 1/32” chamfer exterior edges of the Button Maker Base Plate. Save the file as BasePlateYourInitials.ipt to your Button Maker project folder. Sweep Sketch Tools These are suggested tools for this activity – Line Circle Project Geometry Feature Tools These are suggested tools for this activity – Workplane on Point Sweep Model a paper clip. The sweep function allows the user to extrude a closed profile along a path. The path may be open or closed. The profile and the path must exist as two separate sketches. Create a sketch to represent the path (the curving spiraling line along which the profile will be swept). The dimensions of the geometry are not important. Just try to approximate a real paperclip. Finish the sketch.
