DESCRIPTION
Select the first and last nodes of the required series of nodes Select all the nodes required in sequence Draw a window covering the required nodes displays the order of nodes in the sequence by which it has been selected Select the two lines whose midline is required select a line and specify the offset distance

select the edge of a individual surface to create line select a group of surfaces select the required elements

Select any pair of intersecting entitites To create lines at the tangent of a node to an existing line To create lines forming fillets between two intersecting lines

pick the center and specify the radius Pick the point and specify the direction Pick the 3 points on the circumference of the circle

Select the first and last nodes of the two node sets between whom surface is to be created Select the nodes individually in both node sets in sequence and in an identical order. Select the nodes of the two node sets by drawing a window around displays the order of nodes in the sequence by which it has been selected Create surfaces by selecting lines or surface edges to fill gaps. Create surfaces by selecting an enclosed set of nodes Create surfaces by selecting an enclosed set of points

Create surface by selecting nodes and dragging along a vector direction Create surface by selecting nodes and dragging along a line create surfaces by rotating nodes or lines about a vector axis

Create a surface in the middle of the selected surfaces. Finds and removes pinholes within a specified value of diameter Finds and removes surface fillets within a specified range of radius Finds and removes edge fillets within a specified range of radius Finds and deletes duplicates layers with respect to the specified cleanup tolerance value Used to find the presence of symmetric surfaces with respect to an axis and a base point.

Create soilds by selecting the boundary surfaces

create solids by dragging surfaces along a vector direction create solids by dragging surfaces along their normal direction by specifying the distance create solids by dragging surfaces along a line create solids by rotating surfaces about a vector axis

Nodes,lines or surfaces can be translated along a vector axis for desirable magnitude.

nodes,lines or points can be projected to a desired plane along a vector axis nodes,lines or points can be projected to a desired vector along an axis nodes,lines or points can be projected to a surface along an axis nodes or points can be projected to a line along an axis

nodes,lines,surfaces or points can be rotated around an axis in space It is used to reflect portions of a model about a plane, changing the selected portion into a mirror image of itself.

It is used to specify a new position for model entities.Changing position is accomplished by picking six nodes that define a transformation for the selected entities: three nodes represent the entities starting position, and three corresponding nodes define the selected entities ending position. to display the normals of selected components to mask(hide) the desired components
