Creating Surface Texture Symbols

Surface Texture lets you create a surface texture symbol annotation.


Before you begin: Open an existing 3D shape.
  1. Select the required face.

  2. In the Working process box, specify the working process.
  3. Enter the required values in the Maximum roughness average box and then in the Minimum roughness average box.

    Note: The profile parameter list does not contain engineering symbols. These are simple text strings that assist in inserting the parameters quickly.

    These parameters always have DS ISO 1 font even if the font of surface texture feature is different. However, if the font of the surface texture feature is changed after inserting the parameters, the font of the parameters is also modified and they are visualized incorrectly.

    This parameter list is available only for specific boxes.

  4. Specify the surface texture symbol, the graphical symbol, and the direction of lay.

    You can also enter the values of machining allowance, first requirement, and second requirement.
