Activity Overview

During this session you will learn how to :

Introducing

The following tools will be used during this Session :

• Using the Underlay Manager.
• Inserting an Underlay.
• Using Auto Constraints.
• Adding Geometric & Dimensional Constraints to the sketch.
• Updating the sketch using the Variables palette.

Information

• This is mostly a 2D Tutorial, but basic elements of 3D are used to illustrate the power of using Constraints.
• The use of TurboCAD 3D design tools is discussed and demonstrated in great detail in the TurboCAD 3D Training Guide.
• You will be required to use both a TurboCAD drawing and an underlay pdf for this session. Please download the drawings and pdf in the Print/Preview section above.
• Menu options for the Default menu and workspace, the Ribbon and Palettes are provided directly under the Command Name heading.
