Introduction to Parametric Modeling
Assignment #4
Objective:
The student will create a base feature and add placed features.
Assignment:
o In the “What to Do Dialog box” select the New option and the English tab. In the “New-Choose
Template Area” select the Inventor part file “Standard (in).ipt”
Base Feature
o In the graphics window area create a rough sketch of the base feature using the 2D Sketch Panel.
o Apply the dimensions to the two-dimensional sketch.
o Modify the dimensions of the sketch to their actual values.
o Extrude the two-dimensional sketch using the “extrude both sides” option to complete the parametric model.
Placed Feature: the two 0.50 x 0.38 solid features
o Define a new sketch plane on the right side of the base feature.
o Add the two 0.50 x 0.38 solid features.
o Apply the dimensions to the two-dimensional sketch.
o Modify the dimensions of the sketch to their actual values.
o Extrude the features using the “join” feature option.
Placed Feature: 1.50 diameter hole
o Define a new sketch plane on the sloping surface of the base feature and add the 1.50 diameter hole using the “point, center point” feature (placed feature).
o Apply the dimensions to the sketch locating the center of the circle.
o Modify the dimensions of the sketch to their actual values.
o In the Part Features toolbar select the HOLE command to define the parameters type, dimensions, and termination of the hole.
o Click the OK button to complete the Hole feature.
o Save the finished model to your disk
o Complete a fully annotated drawing. Include a Front View, a Right Side View, and a complete Auxiliary View.
