Module 2 Lecture Outline

Constructing 2D Geometry C2DG:

•  Creating geometry:
  • Lines
  • Circles
  • Squares
  • Rectangles
  • Fillet
  • Chamfers
  • Splines
  • Mirroring objects
  • Arrays (polar, rectangular)
  • Angles
  • Wireframe -vs- solid modeling
  • Importing solid models (Solidworks, Inventor, AutoCAD, etc.)
• Modifying existing geometry:
  • Increase or decrease the diameter of circles
  • Trim / break / extend lines
  • Tangents to splines and circles
  •  Increasing or decrease the length of lines
  • Moving existing geometry
• Creating the virtual workspace:
  • Origin
  • WCS (workspace coordinate system (x,y,z))
  • Tool-planes
