Limiting Elements
The Limiting
Element(s) option limits the face to be drafted by selecting
one or more faces or planes that intersect it completely. To know
how to use this option, see Basic Draft.
Contextual commands
creating the limiting elements you need are available from the
Limiting Element(s) box:
- Create Plane: for more information, see
Generative Shape Design User's Guide: Creating Wireframe Geometry: Creating Planes..
- XY Plane: the XY plane of the current coordinate
system origin (0,0,0) becomes the limiting element.
- YZ Plane: the YZ plane of the current coordinate
system origin (0,0,0) becomes the limiting element.
- ZX Plane: the ZX plane of the current coordinate
system origin (0,0,0) becomes the limiting element.
- Create Join: joins surfaces or curves. See Generative Shape Design User's Guide: Performing Operations on Shape Geometry: Joining Surfaces or Curves..
- Create Extrapol: extrapolates surface boundaries or
curves. See Generative Shape Design User's Guide: Performing Operations on Shape Geometry: Extrapolating Surfaces and Extrapolating Curves..
If you create any of these elements, the application then
displays the corresponding icon next to the Limiting
Elements box. Clicking this icon enables you to edit the
element.
Filleted Edges
Using the command described in this task, you can draft faces
after filleting edges, as illustrated in the example below:
The application detects the reflect line on the selected
fillet.
The face is drafted.
