Working in Drafting
The following links provide additional information for working in the Drafting environment:
|
The drafting entities are found in the toolbars and dropdown menus listed below. When a drafting entity is selected, its toolbar button appears pressed. |
|
|
The Cimatron Drafting application is used to create numerous drafting symbols. These symbols are accessed from the Symbols Menu. |
|
|
A Sheet Template is used to create a drawing with predefined views, frame, tables, and text. You can use it to save time by customizing Sheet Templates so that new drawings open up with the frame, views, text, and tables of your liking. |
|
|
A customized frameframe can be created for each sheet in the drawing. This frame contains a title block with engineering informationengineering information. |
|
|
To save time, some functions retain the last parameter values that were defined in the function. This functionality is file and function specific. |
|
|
The Cimatron Sketcher is the graphic environment used to create sketches - 2D parametric geometry. The 2D geometry can then be used elsewhere in Cimatron's hybrid environment, such as in Part Modeling functions or in NC. The Sketcher is a powerful, yet intuitive, tool enabling you to create and modify entities in relation to each other. For additional information, see the Sketcher. |
|
|
Create and use styles for any drafting symbol under the Textual, Symbols and GD&T Symbol Menus (such as Dimension, Geometrical Tolerance, Surface Roughness, Marking, etc.). A style retains all the parameters and attributes of a symbol. Each style can contain information about different symbols. Each dimension type is a different symbol. |
|
|
A View is the 2D projection of a model that maintains its associativity to the model. A change made to the part will be reflected in the View. A view is a projection of a Cimatron part file, or assembly or a converted Cimatron IT file and is created according to the active UCS. |
