From the course: Autodesk Inventor: Product Design Workflow
Modeling a ring support using the Pattern command
- All right, now we're going to take a look at putting the legs on the upper portion of the ring support. So, we have four legs and we'll actually just draw one leg and then we'll pattern the others. So, the legs are 2.75 in height and their diameter is .20 as well. So, flipping back to our drawing of the ring support that we already have in place. I am going to need a work plane again. Gosh, (inaudible) is just not friendly about drawing on curved linear surfaces, so we need some type of drawing surface. And, in this case, in selecting a regular plane, I'm actually going to select "Midplane of Torus," and that's because we have a torus shape, so it works great. So, what that does when I click on the part is it actually places a work plane midplane on that torus shape. And so now we can get to drawing and placing those legs. Just close that out. All right, so, we're ready to sketch. I'm going to select that work plane and then I'm going to select "New Sketch." And the hard part here…
