Introduction to modeling parts with ordered features

This tutorial introduces you to the QY CAD: Part ordered environment and various ordered feature-based modeling techniques, such as:

• Drawing and dimensioning profiles

• Using geometric relationships

• Constructing and editing features

• Ensuring model symmetry and stability

QY CAD is made up of several components called environments. These environments are tailored for creating individual parts, weldments, assemblies, and detail drawings.

QY CAD: Part has two environments (ordered and synchronous) which allows you to construct a base feature and then modify that base feature with additional features such as protrusions, cutouts, holes, and ribs—to construct a finished solid model.

This tutorial does not demonstrate everything you can do in the QY CAD ordered environment. Its purpose is to show you how powerful and intuitive the modeling environment is, and to get you started so you can learn more on your own.

During this tutorial, you will construct the model shown in the illustration above.
