Description
This tool creates angular draft on the selected faces of an object. A new separate Draft entry (followed by a sequential number if there are already existing drafts in the document) is created in the Project tree.

Usage

 * Select one or more faces on an object, then start the tool either by clicking its icon or going into the menu.
 * In Draft Parameters on the TaskPanel, set the required parameters and/or options as described below.
 * Click OK to validate.
 * To edit the draft after the function has been validated, either double-click on the Draft label in the Project tree, or right-click on it and select Edit Draft.

Add Face / Remove Face
Click Add Face or Remove Face, then select a single face to update the list of active faces. Repeat as needed.

Draft Angle
Set the Draft Angle by entering a value or by clicking on the up/down arrows. The applied draft angle is shown in real time.

Neutral Plane
Click Neutral Plane, then select the plane that must not change dimensionally. The change is made in real time.

Pull Direction
Click Pull Direction, then select an edge. Pull Direction is only effective if the Neutral Plane has been set. Results can be unpredictable.

Reverse Pull Direction
Checking Reverse Pull Direction will toggle the draft between positive and negative angles.

Special Cases
The Draft tool will only function on faces that are normal to each other. If there are any tangential faces attached to the face you wish to apply draft to, it will fail. A common cause of failure is attempting to apply draft to a face that already has a fillet or chamfer applied to it. In this case, remove the tangential surface, apply the draft as need, then re-apply the fillet or chamfer.
