So let’s add a piece to our plate. Let’s say we need to have our finished plate screwed to a wall and a PVC pipe is to be inserted into a socket of some sort.
Here’s where we’re at thus far (bottom left).
In the left panel it’s listed as Body (the thing we’re making) then the Pad which was done on the (indented text) of the Sketch. Finally we did the Chamfer (on the holes).
To add a pipe socket, we need to add the socket to the front face of the plate. Right? So left click to select the top face of the plate. It’ll turn green. Next, click Sketch (see image top right).
Well, this (bottom right) looks familiar.
But instead of a blank sketch, we have our plate as the background. The red dot is the center point of the plate.
Use the circle tool to draw two circles going from the red center point out (see image, next page, top left).
Like in previous examples, lock the circles down with diameters or radius. Whichever you prefer.
I went with an inner diameter of 9mm and an outer of 13mm.
Like when we made the plate, click Close (in the left panel) to return to our Part Design workbench. And, like last time, click Pad. Voila! Adjust the height of the pad as you see fit (top right).
Note, on the left we have (below Chamfer) a new Pad and new Sketch. They only apply to the pipe socket.
If you need to adjust the depth of the socket you can click on the Pad001 (in my case) and you’ll see the attributes.
Feel free to click the edge where the socket meets the plate and choose to put a chamfer or fillet on it. Make it look spiffy.
Next time we’ll abandon our plate and try something new…
