Creating Draft Properties

You can create a default draft to be used by each functional feature containing a draft angle and a draft direction.

Before you begin: Insert a surfacic functional set.
  1. From the Structure section of the action bar, click Draft Property .
    The Draft Property Definition dialog box opens.
  2. Select a draft direction or use the context menu to choose the default mode:
    • Normal to Support
    • Normal to Profile.
  3. Optional: Select the Put in Properties Set option to put the inner and outer values in a specific set called Draft Properties Set. Otherwise, they are located at the last position in the surfacic functional set.
    Note: This option is only available during creation.
  4. Click OK to create the draft property.
    The element (identified as Draft Property.x) is added to the tree.

    Now, in all the commands that have a draft direction and angle, you can use this draft property. Let's take an example with the Stamp function.

  5. Click Stamp Function .
    The Stamp Function Definition dialog box is displayed.
  6. Right-click the Draft Direction value and select the Draft Properties > Draft Property.x.
    The dialog box is updated and the previous value is replaced by Draft Property.x.
    Note: You can see that the Create Draft Properties command can also be accessed from the context menu.
  7. Click OK to create the stamp.
