PROFILE TOOLBAR:
Profile:- A profile tools is defined as continuous lines and arcs. Drawing continuous lines implies that the line automatically starts at the endpoint of the previous line. To draw a tangent arc in continuous with the line. invoke the Profile tool from the Profile toolbar. You may notice that the Tangent Arc button is disabled. This is because you first need to draw at least one line. After drawing the line, the Tangent Arc button will be enabled. Choose the Tangent Arc button from the expanded Sketch tools toolbar; the preview of the arc will be displayed in the geometry area and you will be prompted to
specify the endpoint of the arc. Click in the geometry area to specify the endpoint. An arc, tangent to the line, will be drawn and displayed in the geometry area.
Rectangle:- To draw a rectangle, invoke the Rectangle tool from the Predefined Profile sub-toolbar, the Sketch tools toolbar will expand and you will be prompted to specify the first point of the rectangle. Click in the geometry area to specify the first point or the first corner of the rectangle; you will be prompted to specify the second point. Move the cursor away from the first point
Oriented Rectangle:- To draw a rectangle, invoke the Rectangle tool from the Predefined Profile sub-toolbar,the Sketch tools toolbar will expand and you will be prompted to specify the first point of the rectangle. Click in the geometry area to specify the first point or the first corner of the rectangle; you will be prompted to specify the second point. Move the cursor away from the first point.
Parallelogram:- To draw it, invoke the Parallelogram tool from the Predefined Profile sub-toolbar in the Profile toolbar; the Sketch tools toolbar will expand and you will be prompted to specify the start point of the parallelogram. Click in the geometry area to specify its first corner; you will be prompted to specify the end point of its first side. On moving the cursor away from the first corner, you will notice a line attached to the cursor. The line represents the first side of the parallelogram. Click in the geometry area to specify the endpoint of the line; you will be then prompted to specify the second side. Move the cursor away from the second corner; the preview of the parallelogram will be displayed. Click to specify the second side of the parallelogram; the parallelogram will be created .
Elongated Hole:- An elongated hole is a geometry that consists of two parallel lines and two tangent arcs. To draw an elongated hole, choose the Elongated Hole tool from Predefined Profile sub-toolbar in the Profile toolbar.
Cylindrical Elongated Hole:- A cylindrical elongated hole is a geometry that comprises of four arcs. Each arc is tangent to its adjacent arcs. To draw a cylindrical elongated hole, choose the Cylindrical Elongated Hole tool from Predefined Profile sub-toolbar in the Profile toolbar.
Keyhole Profile:- A keyhole profile is a keyhole shaped geometry that comprises of two arcs and two lines, To draw a keyhole profile, invoke the Keyhole Profile tool from Predefined Profile sub-toolbar in the Profile toolbar.
Hexagon:- To draw a hexagon, choose the Hexagon tool from Predefined Profile sub-toolbar in the Profile toolbar.
Centered Rectangle:- To draw a centered rectangle, choose the Centered Rectangle tool from Predefined Profile sub-toolbar in the Profile toolbar.
Points:- A point is defined as the geometrical element that has no magnitude of length, width, or thickness. It is only specified by its position.
Circle:- invoke the Circle tool from the Circle sub-toolbar; you will be prompted to specify its center. Click anywhere in the geometry area to specify the center point; you will be prompted to specify a point that determines the radius of the circle. Move the cursor away from the center point to specify the radius; the preview of the circle will be displayed. Click in the geometry area to define its radius.
Three-Point Circle:- a circle can also be drawn by specifying any three points that lie on its circumference. To draw a three point circle, invoke the Three Point Circle tool from the Circle sub-toolbar in the Profile toolbar.
Circle using Coordinates:- a circle can also be drawn by specifying the absolute coordinate values of the center and radius. To do so, invoke the Circle Using Coordinates tool from the Circle sub-toolbar in the Profile toolbar.
Tri-Tangent Circle:- A tri-tangent circle is the one that is tangent to three sketched elements. The circle thus formed has a tangent relation with all the three elements. To draw it, you first need to draw three elements, which can be lines, circles, ellipses, arcs, or any geometrical element with which a circle can form a tangent relation.
Three-Point Arcs:- To draw a three point arc, choose the Three Point Arc tool from Circle sub-toolbar in the Profile toolbar.
Three Point Arc Starting with Limits:- To draw this arc, invoke the Three Point Arc Starting With Limits tool from the Circle sub-toolbar in the Profile toolbar.
Ellipse:- To draw an ellipse, choose the Ellipse tool from the Conic sub-toolbar in the Profile toolbar.
Infinite Line:- To draw an infinite line, invoke the Infinite Line tool from the Line sub-toolbar in the Profile toolbar.
Bi-Tangent Line:- A line that is tangent to any two curved entities is called bi-tangent lines. The curved entities can be circle, ellipse, arc, conic, and spline. To draw a bi-tangent line, invoke the Bi-Tangent Line tool from the Line sub-toolbar in the Profile toolbar.
Bisecting line:- A bisecting line passes through the intersection of two non-parallel lines, such that the angle formed between them is divided equally. The intersection point of the non-parallel lines can be actual or apparent obtained by extending the lines virtually. To draw a bisecting line, invoke the Bisecting Line button from the Line sub-toolbar in the Profile toolbar.
Line normal to curve:- To draw a line normal to a curve, choose the Line Normal To Curve tool from the Line sub-toolbar in the Profile toolbar.
Axis:- Generally, axis tool is used to create the axis for the revolved feature. To draw an axis, invoke the Axis tool from the Profile toolbar.
Centered Parallelogram:- to draw such a parallelogram, you need to select two lines. The opposite sides of the parallelogram will be parallel to these two lines. To create this type of parallelogram, choose the Centered Parallelogram tool from the Predefined Profile sub-toolbar in the Profile toolbar.
