PartDesign Groove/tr

Tanım
The Groove tool revolves a selected sketch or profile about a given axis, cutting out material from the support.



''Above: sketch (A) is revolved around axis (B); resulting groove on solid (C) is shown right. ''

Usage

 * 1) Select the sketch to be revolved.
 * v0.17 and above A face on the existing solid can alternatively be used.
 * v0.16 and below The sketch must be mapped to the planar face of an existing solid or Part Design feature, or an error message will appear.
 * 1) Press the  button.
 * 2) Set the Groove parameters (see next section).
 * 3) Press.

Options
When creating a groove, the Groove parameters dialogue offers several parameters specifying how the sketch should be revolved.

Axis
This option specifies the axis about which the sketch is to be revolved.
 * Vertical sketch axis: selects the vertical sketch axis.
 * Horizontal sketch axis: selects the horizontal sketch axis.
 * Sketch axis: v0.16 and below selects a construction line contained in the sketch used by the Groove. The first construction line created in the sketch will be labelled Sketch axis 0. The drop down list will contain one custom sketch axis for each construction line.
 * Construction line: v0.17 and above selects a construction line contained in the sketch used by the Groove. The drop down list will contain an entry for each construction line. The first construction line created in the sketch will be labelled Construction line 1.
 * Base (X/Y/Z) axis: v0.17 and above selects the X, Y or Z axis of the Body's Origin;
 * Select reference...: v0.17 and above allows selection in the 3D view of an edge on the Body, or a datum line.

Angle
This controls the angle through which the groove is to be formed, e.g. 360° would be a full, contiguous revolution. It is not possible to specify negative angles (use the Reversed option instead) or angles greater than 360°.

Symmetric to plane
If checked, the groove will extend half of the specified angle in both directions from the sketch plane.

Reversed
If checked, the direction of revolution is reversed from default clockwise to counterclockwise.

Properties
Below are properties which can be defined after creation of the feature. Data properties Base and Axis are uneditable.


 * : angle of rotation. See Angle.
 * : label given to the operation, can be changed at convenience.
 * : true or false. See Symmetric to plane.
 * : true or false. See Reversed.
 * : v0.17 and above true or false. If set to true, cleans the solid from residual edges left by features. See Part RefineShape for more details.
