Creating Cylindrical Elongated Holes

You can create a cylindrical elongated hole. A construction arc assists you in creating this element.

Before you begin: Select the Create Detected Constraints from the Sketch section and the Show Constraints from the View section of the action bar.

  1. From the Sketch section of the action bar, click Cylindrical Elongated Hole .
    Tools Palette displays boxes for defining the cylindrical elongated hole.
  2. Specify the coordinates for the center of the circle in the Tools Palette and press Enter.
    The center is used to create both the big radius (radius and angle of the cylindrical elongated hole) and the small radius (circular extremities used to define the cylindrical elongated hole).
  3. Specify the coordinates for the arc's start point and press Enter.
    The arc appears as a construction arc.
    Note: You can also specify the big radius and angle of the arc.
  4. Specify the coordinates for the arc's end point and press Enter.
    The arc appears as a construction element.

    Note: At this step, you cannot define the arc's big radius and angle.
  5. Specify the coordinates for the point on cylindrical elongated hole and press Enter.
    In other words, you are defining the small radius. This small radius corresponds to the width of the cylindrical elongated hole, relatively to the circle center.
