You should now see the Part Feature panel at the LH side of the screen. To complete the sketching stage, RH click and choose Finish Sketch This will exit sketch mode and you are now ready to create a 3D feature. You should now have a smooth kidney bean shape. 2ģ To tidy up the sketch RH click anywhere on the design screen > choose Create Constraint > Tangent Now click on each pair of curves in turn to create a tangent constraint between them. I may look a little odd at this stage but don t worry RH mouse click and choose Done to complete the sketch. This may take a bit of practice but you have a multiple undo tool at the top of the screen (or Ctrl Z) if it s not quite right first time! Now use the Tangent arc tool to close the shape. Use the Centre point arc tool to create the two arcs shown on the right. Use the General Dimension tool to make the line exactly 40mm long > click on the line with the LH mouse button held down and drag to create dimension > single click on the dimension to edit > click green tick to action This line is going to provide a starting point for the construction of the curved outline. To create the 2D sketch Use the Line tool to draw a line approximately 40 mm long (you will see dimensions appear at the bottom of the screen) Click once with the LH mouse button to start twice to finish.
