To profile and extrude multiple loops

This time we will draw using Mechanical Desktop program with multiple profiles at once to Extrude it.

1. Choose Design > Rectangle, and a draw a rectangle in the graphics area.

2. Choose Design > Circle > 2 Points, and draw three circles inside the rectangle. Make sure that none of the circles overlap or touch each other.

3. In the graphics area, right-click and choose Sketch Solving > Profile.
4. Using the small rectangular cursor, select the rectangle and three circles by dragging a box across them until all are highlighted.
5. Press ENTER. The rectangle and all three circles are profiled.

6. In the graphics area, right-click and choose Sketched Work Features > Extrude.
7. In the Extrusion Feature dialog box,

• Operation: Base
  
• Distance: 60
• Draft Angle: 0
  
• Termination; Type: Blind
• Choose OK

8. Press ENTER to accept the default direction of the arrow.
9. To see whether all three circles extruded simultaneously, choose View > 3D Views > Left Isometric.

Creating and Extrude Profile

For those of you who just learned to draw using Mechanical Desktop, here I will give basic examples of drawing part / 3-dimensional components. Hopefully this will help you to see more of the application of this program. And in this case, I will make a 3-dimensional image of a rectangle with a 3mm high.

The first step is to create a sketch profile (profile a sketch). Select Design > Rectangle, and create a rectangle on the graph image area (for the length and width dimensions as you ignore the past, Insha Allah in the next example I will give).



After that the graphics area, kick-right and select the Sketch Solving > Single Profile. The purpose of this command is to convert the sketch into a profile that is ready for in-Extrude,



to appear dotted line as an example the following image. And the rectangle has now become a profile.



Then in the graph area, right-click and select Work Sketched Features> Extrude.

In the dialog box Feature Extrusion, specify:

• Operation: Base

• Distance: 3

• Draft Angle: 0

• Termination Type: Blind

• Choose OK.

Press ENTER to accept the above results in the direction of the arrow. To view the isometric drawings, select View > 3D Views > Left Isometric.
