Creating Circular Cutouts

You can create circular cutouts that consists in removing material from a body.

You can create cutouts from a sketch containing one or more points, a mapped curve, or a projection. In this case, only the points are used to create the cutout.

Before you begin: Create a wall and draw a point on the wall.
  1. From the Refine section of the action bar, click Circular Cutout .
  2. Select the point as the center of the circular cutout.
    Important:
    • The point can be selected anywhere in the geometry. If it is not selected on a surface, an orthogonal projection will be performed.
    • To remove the selection of a point, click it in the tree.
  3. To position the cutout, select the support.

    The support can be different from the support where the point lies. In this case, an orthogonal projection will be performed.



  4. Select the cutout type:
    OptionDescription
    Clearance Defined by a center point and a radius.
    Index Used to measure and validate parts.
    Manufacturing Used for manufacturing, for example to fasten a part on an equipment.
    Fastener Used as a rivet.
    Important: Cutout types do not affect the cutout geometry.
  5. Enter a diameter value.

    If you change the Radius value using the spinners, the preview of the circular cutout automatically updates. However, if you enter a value directly in the box, you need to click the Apply button to update the preview.

  6. Click OK.
