NX Tutorials - Sketching : part 1
Sketching
is the basic two dimensional figure, by which a 3-D object can be developed
using some material operations. Every software has their own sketching GUI and
options,but NX sketching is very easy and it has a decent GUI.
Let's start with the basic
options of sketching
- PROFILE
: It
is a continuous curve, where in the curve can be a line or an arc. There
are types of drawing these lines and curves which you can see in the
video.
- LINE: This is a simple line, whereas we have 3 different types of lines, but these lines are shown only in drafting workbench.In part modeling we have only one type of line i.,e, line between 2 points.
- CIRCLE: Circle
can be drawn in two ways, one by giving centre and radius and
the other way is by selecting 3 points.
- RECTANGLE: Rectangle can be drawn using
by using 2 opposite points, or by 3 point method or by selecting midpoint
and other two points so that we can get our required rectangle in any
orientation.
- ELLIPSE: It can be drawn using a
midpoint and by giving the dimensions of the minor and major axis.
- SPLINE: It is basically a smooth
curve which is drawn using control points, by changing the control points
we can change the spline.
- POLYGON: We can draw any polygon with
any number of sides using this option wherein you need to specify the
inscribed radius.
Watch this video for concise idea.
