#CAD MIRROR PORTION OF SKETCH HOW TO#

The object will now look like the below image: Extend Command We can choose objects according to our requirements. Here, we have selected three parts at once. Select the line or curve, as shown below: Type Tr or trim on the command line or command prompt and press Enter.ģ. Select the Trim icon from the ribbon panel, as shown below: The steps to trim the portion of the above object are:ġ.

We are required to select the portion of the object to trim.

We can also perform trim using different selection methods.

It is used to remove extra lines or extra parts of an object.

The Trim command in AutoCAD is used to remove the objects, which meet the edges of other objects.

This was a learning exercise telling me that some of the AutoCAD feature I would have used are not the same in Inventor and I don't know the best work arounds yet.Next → ← prev Trim and Extend in AutoCAD Trim command Admittedly I don't think I would actually model a wire mesh, I would just call out a surface or simplified grid as being a wire mesh. It works, but I would have expected something cleaner or more simple. My model below just feels like a mess to me. Is there an easier way to copy, mirror, rotate a solid part that I am missing? Very helpful when things are lined up and you have more than 1 copy of the wire to make. One step I did realize 1/4 of the way through was that instead of copying the profile sketch to another plane and sweeping each individual wire, I could instead sweep all wires with matching profiles at the same time. What I really wanted to do prior to this stage was simply select all the solid wires copy and rotate them about a central point and I would have been done. I then had to repeat the mirroring step on a different plane. Very annoying thing I have noticed when switching to the right view. Even when I redimensioned the sketch and selected horizontal as the type of dimension I wanted, the dimension displayed vertical. What was really annoying was all the vertical dimensions became horizontal and vice versa. The second time I tired it with a redefined profile with new constraints, it worked with relaxed constraints but then all the dimension went wonky, though technically worked. I tried rotating it to be horizontal and despite relaxing and ignoring constraints, the prg tossed an error and would not rotate the sketch. The thing went from being horizontal to vertical. Easy enough! I then copied my sketch1 and proceeded to paste it into the transverse plane.

First time I attempted it, I created a sketch in the transverse plan to the original wire where the two wires would cross. When It came time to create the transverse wire, things got ugly for me. I wound up having to delete portions of the source profile then re dimension everything. Then when I went to mirror the profile vertically in the sketch there was not option to delete the source information like there is in AutoCad. This seemed like potentially a lot of information to be potentially repeating depending on the nature of the sketch being copied. This brought over a all the previous constraints and dimensions. The best I could come up with was "copy paste" of the item from the command history on the left, selecting a new work plane, and then pasting the sketch on the new plane. Busted out Google and did some searching. I realized I could array it but I wanted copy in case I wanted to do this in the future and the copy position was not lined up in an arrayable pattern.

Then the head banging on the desk started as I tried to figure out how to copy the solid. I then proceeded to sweep the circle along the centerline profile. On this plane I projected the start point of the wire and drew a 1 mm dia. I then followed this by creating a perpendicular work plane placed at the start of the wire. I started out by drawing up sketch1 being the profile of the wire's centerline. Its actually just one wire pattern that winds up getting mirrored and rotated. For the following drawing I came up with a weaving pattern for the 1 mm dia. Not because it this was a hard drawing to sketch, but because I did not know some very simple commands/processes like I do for AutoCAD.
