Drafting a face

Drafting is simply the process of sloping the sides of a model.

Drafting is used in the design of molds where the sides of the mold must be sloped to allow material to be withdrawn without catching.

To draft a face

• select the face to be drafted using the Select Face tool

• from the Features menu select Draft Faces or click the icon on the features toolbar

• in the Draft Faces dialog box

  • set the angle of draft

  • choose whether to include tangent surfaces

• view the results on the model

• click OK to complete the draft

NOTE - the angle of draft can be set quickly by dragging the yellow handle
