Introduction to modeling parts with synchronous features

This tutorial demonstrates a typical workflow for modeling parts with synchronous features using QY CAD. It covers the fundamental modeling techniques for drawing sketches, dimensioning, constructing features, and model editing techniques. Click to begin

Introduction to Modeling Sheet Metal Parts with Synchronous Features

This tutorial demonstrates a typical workflow for modeling a sheet metal part with synchronous features. As you model this part, you will learn about constructing contour flanges, tabs, flanges, cutouts, jogs, and holes, and using precision drawing aids such as IntelliSketch. Click to begin

Learn how to build an assembly from previously created parts, and then create an exploded assembly drawing for manufacture.

Building a Slider Assembly

This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions for creating an assembly of a slider using QY CAD. You will use the FlashFit option to apply positioning relationships between assembly components. The FlashFit option reduces the steps required to position a part using mate, planar align, or axial align relationships. This tutorial also demonstrates how to create and add subassemblies to an assembly. Click to view
