Creating a Surface Texture

Roughness Symbol lets you create a standard roughness symbol including roughness value, direction of lay, production method, and so on.

Before you begin: Open a drawing representation.
  1. Select an element.
  2. In the Roughness Symbol dialog box, the following options are available:

    Symbols Definition


    		Surface texture


    		Surface texture and all surfaces around


    		Surface texture without specification line


    		All surfaces around without specification line


    		Lay approximately parallel to the line representing the surface


    		Lay approximately perpendicular to the line representing the surface


    		Lay angular in both directions


    		Lay multidirectional


    		Lay approximately circular


    		Lay approximately radial


    		Lay particulate, non-directional, or protuberant


    		Basic surface texture


    		Material removal by machining is required


    		Material removal by machining is prohibited

  3. Enter values in the boxes, select the parameters, and then click OK.
