Master ExerciseMechanical Fixture Tolerancing

In this exercise, you will learn how to use Functional Tolerancing & Annotations.You will see that FT&A allows the easy definition and management of 3D tolerance specifications and annotations directly on 3D parts.

Master ExerciseMechanical Fixture Tolerancing (Step 1): Annotation planes creation

In this step, you will learn how to create the different Annotation views. Creation of Front View Annotation Plane Creation of Section View Annotation plane Creation of Section Cut Annotation plane

Master ExerciseMechanical Fixture Tolerancing (Step 2): 3D Annotations creation

In this step, you will learn how to create 3D Annotations and manage them. Add Text, Flag Note Leader, Datum, Datum Targets, Geometrical Tolerance, Dimensions, Roughness, Note Object Attribute, Automatic Default Annotation Use several Annotations Properties Generate a Check Report

Master ExerciseMechanical Fixture Tolerancing (Step 3): 2D Extraction

In this step, you will learn how to generate 2D views containing the 3D annotations you have created.For this, you need to work with two files: the .CATPart file containing the 3D annotations, an empty .CATDrawing file for extraction, automatically opened when activating the Drafting Workbench.

ExercisePractice by yourself !

Create by yourself FT&A features.Try to apply on this exercise what you have learned before.
