This exercise was carried out with version 27.0 (Vertex 2021).
In this exercise you will learn to
To make machinations in the assembly that are not visible in the parts of the assembly. Typically, such a situation is a structure welded from profiles, which is machined only after welding.
Functions to be used:
Importing a compressed model into a Vertex system.
Machining Features > Execute.
New Drawing for model.
Part numbering.
Properties of part > To Assembly Parts List.
Get a project that includes the necessary assembly
Drag the file from the downloads section of your Internet browser onto Vertex G4.
Be sure the models are found (in browser B) in project VX_COURSE_PROF.
If necessary, refresh your browser, if those models VXEN_PROF10*are not found immediately.
Open the assembly model
Press the button (B opens the universal browser of Vertex G4).
Select a project: VX_COURSE_PROF.
Open the model VXEN_PROF10.
The model has a SKELETON part, which is used to add four L-profiles to the model, and a part (VXEN_PROF10-P1) with has only machining tools.
Useful keyboard shortcuts
= Shows or hides auxiliary geometry (guide lines, cross sections, and auxiliary planes). =Shows or hides the machining features, ie tool geometry.
Save the model to your own project
Function: File > Save as New.
Enter the ID.
Fill in the archive information.
Select the project where the model will be saved or create a new project.
Perform machining
Right-click function: Machining Features > Execute.
Hide the part that contained the machining tool (The Mkey also drives the same thing).
Machining Features
This function is ideal in cases where machining cannot be carried out before welding, ie parts cannot be machined separately.
In cases where the parts need to be machined before welding, it is advisable to use the Boolean function and select the action from there: Subtract with tool.
For example, when a drawing is made for parts, which must show all machining.
Create a drawing for the model
In the feature tree, click: Drawing.
Right-click function: New Drawing.
In the dialog New drawing, select data:
Scale: 1:2.5
Sheet: A3
Select projections: front and top.
Tangential lines: Draw as virtual shape lines (thin).
