Flanges

Draw a flange.

This function allows you to draw a predefined flange, or specify and create a new flange definition.

The Mechanical Setup option defines the default line styles and pens to use.

Make sure that the drawing units are set to "mm" (millimetres) before using the mechanical toolkit functions.

Procedure

1. The Flange definition window displays.

• You can select a flange from the drop-down list, or fill in the relevant data and create a new flange.

•  You can add your own flange definition by clicking Add, and then entering the relevant data. The flange definition is saved when you click OK, or select another flange definition from the list.

• Make the changes to the dimensions of the flange.

• • Select the line type (solid or hidden) to use.

2. Once you have finished with the settings, click OK to draw the specified flange.

3. You are prompted to:

Enter centre point of flange

4. Indicate a point on the centre of the flange.

5. You are prompted to:

Enter a point on the Flange centreline for rotation

6. Indicate a point that will define the angle of the flange centre line. The flange is drawn from the first indicated point, at the angle defined by the second indicated point.

7. You can continue drawing another flange, or press [Esc] to end the function.
