Creating Drafting Geometry
Upon completion of this lesson you will be able to identify and apply the new
or enhanced techniques of creating drafting geometry found within the
interactive drafting workbench for


Explicit Geometrical Constraints
Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002
Explicit Geometrical Constraints V5R8
Ability to define Explicit constraints for geometrical constraints
Allows the creation of geometrical constraints between sketched
elements or between sketched and generated geometry
Note: The command has the same
look and feel as in the 3D
Sketcher command

Dimensioning and Annotation
Upon completion of this lesson you will be able to identify and apply the new
techniques of creating dimensions and annotations found within the
Interactive Drafting workbench by

Creating Chamfer Dimensions
A new Tools toolbar ability to select the Format and Representation
V5R8
Format Representation
Length x Length : 6 X 10
Length x Angle : 6 X 60
Angle x Length : 60 x 6
Length : 6

Creating Roughness Associative Orientation
Ability for Roughness symbol to remain oriented in relation with the
geometry
V5R8
Roughness remains oriented
in relation with the geometry
Note: The Orientation is automatically created when an element is
selected for the anchor location.
Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002
Creating Coordinate Dimension Tables
Ability to create Coordinate Dimension tables of sketched or generated
points
Ability to select axis system used for coordinates computation :
2D view, 2D user defined
3D absolute axis, 3D local axis
Multi-criteria sort

V5R8
Note: Same look and feel used in the
Hole Dimension Table command
Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002
Creating Stacked or Cumulated Dimensions Systems
Ability to automatically align the dimension values during creation
V5R8
Note: Functionality does not work for radius/diameter
dimensions.

2D Components
Upon completion of this lesson, you will be able to identify and apply the new
techniques of using and modifying 2D Components found within the
Interactive Drafting workbench


Annotation Orientation in 2D Component Instances
Modify text in 2D Component Instances
Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002
Annotation Orientation in 2D Component Instances
Ability to fix the text orientation in the 2D Component. In the 2D
Component Instances, the text will keep the same orientation even if the
2D component instance is rotated or flipped.

V5R8
Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002
Modify text in 2D Component Instances
Ability to modify 2D component text annotation or attribute links on
each instance

V5R8
Note: once text becomes modifiable, it is not
possible to make it non- modifiable. Also when a
2D component text becomes modifiable, the new
and also the created instances text becomes
modifiable.
Note: for 2D component instances created from a catalog; if
the text becomes modifiable within the catalog you have to
synchronize the external reference to make the 2D
component instance text modifiable .

techniques of finalizing and printing a drawing found within the Interactive
Drafting workbench
