Profile Overview
Overview: After creating a new document, the first thing to create is the base profile. In most cases, you are going to start with a feature that adds material, such as a protrusion or a revolved protrusion. Play the video to see how to create and constrain a profile. This is a sound video, so please adjust your volume accordingly.
Select a Plane
When you start with a protrusion or revolved protrusion, the first step is to define a plane that is the base of the feature. This plane will be created 'on the fly' and will be coincident with the front reference plane.
Create the Profile
Now that the plane is established, you are placed into the profile environment. The Draw toolbar and the Features and Relationship toolbar become active. Start by creating the curves for the profile. There are several tools on the Draw toolbar for creating a profile. Most profiles are created using lines and arcs, but there are several curves available.
Constrain the Profile
After the profile is created, the next step is to add geometric constraints. It is important to get the shape constrained before dimensioning. If the shape is geometrically constrained, the profile will behave in a more predictable manner when dimensions are added.
Dimension the Profile
Add dimensions to establish the physical size of the profile.
