  1. Select the profile that you want to extrude.

    The Drafted Filleted Pad.x dialog box appears and the app previews the pad to be created.

  4. In the Second Limit box, select the face of the pad on which the selected profile lies.

    Selecting a second limit is mandatory.



    Note: You can also use a plane to define the second limit.

  5. In the Draft Angle box, enter the angle value for the draft.
    Note: If you do not want to draft the faces, clear the corresponding check box.
  6. From the Neutral element list, select Second limit to define the neutral element .
  7. Select the respective check boxes and enter a radius value for each edge type to define the three fillets as per the requirement.

    • Lateral radius: defines the fillets on vertical edges.

    • Top radius: defines the round corner fillets.

    • Bottom radius: defines the fillets on the edges of the second limit.

    Notes:
    • If you do not want to fillet the particular edges, clear the corresponding check boxes.
    • If the support is not a solid object, only lateral radius fillet and first limit radius fillets are created.

If you look at the tree, you will note that you have created:

  • One pad
  • One draft
  • Three fillets.
