Activity: Create a base revolved synchronous feature


Create a base revolved synchronous feature

Overview

This activity demonstrates the process of creating a part model using the Revolve command.

Objectives

Create a vise screw to become familiar with the Revolve command for construction of base features.

In this activity you will:

  • Create a region consisting of sketch elements.

  • Use the Select tool to invoke the Revolve command.

Launch the Activity: Create a base revolved synchronous feature.

If you are using Internet Explorer and a video is not displaying in your training guide, click the Tools tab (or gear icon)→Compatibility View settings, and then clear the selection of Display intranet sites in Compatibility View.

Open a new ISO Metric part file
Sketch the initial basic shape
Create the base feature
  1. Select the region.

  2. Click the extrude handle origin (1) and drag it to the edge (2).

    The extrude handle changes to a revolve handle. Edge (2) is the axis of revolution.

  3. Click the torus to start the rotation extent definition.

    The geometry dynamically attaches to the cursor.

  4. On command bar, select the Live Sections options (1) to turn it off.

    Turn on the 360° extent option (2).

  5. Save and close the file.

Summary

In this activity you learned how to create a revolved base feature. A sketch was created and dimensioned. A region was revolved and the sketch dimensions migrated to the base feature. The extrude handle changes to a revolve handle when you drag it to an edge.
