-To add dimensions, go to Constraint toolbar
Select
- For example, you want to specify the dimension of 15mm, you may just select line
A.
- Double click on the number (value of the dimension) and you may change the
dimension.

- Another alternative is by selecting line B and line C to give the dimension on that
particular line.
- Similar steps are repeated for other lines.
- To specify dimension with respect to the origin, the dimensioning method is same,
just treat the H and V as lines.
- For example, select line D and V to specify the dimension of 70mm. Similarly,
select line A and H to specify the dimension of 40mm.
- To know whether the sketch is properly constrained, you may just observe the
color of the sketch:
White under constrained
Green fully constrained
Purple over constrained

- Go to Profile toolbar, click which is located at bottom right of and you
will get
Choose oblong
- To sketch oblong, you only need to define first and second center point. Locate the
first point at the origin and the second point somewhere to the right horizontally.
Move the mouse and click the left button of the mouse. The profile is done.

- Sketch a rectangular profile, where the vertical line on the left passes through the
origin. That particular line is actually an axis of revolution. Therefore, it should not
be a solid line. To convert it into an axis, select the line and click (or
vice-versa).

each outer circle and indicate a point to define the left fillet curve approximately.
Repeat the step for the right fillet curve.

Double click the icon if you want to use it for more than once.
6. FAQ
Q: I have already specified the necessary dimensions as given on the figure, but the
sketch is not turned into green, which indicates that the sketch is not fully constrained.
A: Check for other constraint definitions. For example, for the sketch of crankshaft, the
arc and the line may not be defined as tangent to each other.

If the = sign does not appear at the intersection of the arc and the line, it means
that the tangency constraint is not defined. To define the constraint, select the line
and the arc (click on the line or arc first, press ctrl button, and select the other
profile). Then, select constraint, right click and select tangency (or vice-versa). Do
not click the left button, it is for specifying the dimension.
Similarly, if you do not start the first center point on the origin, you can click on the
constraint button, select those two points, right click and specify coincidence to
locate the first point to the origin.
Sometimes, the lines are not horizontal or vertical. Select constraint and click on
the corresponding line, right click and define horizontal or vertical as desired.
