DRAW SNIGLET AND HOLE COMPONENTS
23A: Draw a master sniglet on Layer0 by fol-
lowing the instructions in “Exercise: How to
Draw Fillets” on page 42. Assume a 5/16”
(8mm) diameter that works with a typical ¼″
end mill for our ¾″ sheet material.
23B: Select all segments. Then make the snig-
let into a component. Name the component
sniglet 8mm.
23C: For the fastener hole, draw a 2D circle on
Layer0 to accommodate our anticipated fas-
tener size. We’ll use a ¼″ (6mm) diameter cir-
cle to accommodate common hardware.
23D: Select the circle and make it into a com-
ponent. Then name it circle 6mm.
When naming components that you might
want to import into other projects, add
dimensional information to the component
name. You’ll always know the size of the circle
or sniglet at first glance, without having to
measure the geometry.
