Extrude with Draft
- [Instructor] Let's now take a look at designing Link2 of my robotic arm. So I'm going to create a sketch on the Front Plane Create a new sketch. It's a bit of a more complicated sketch. And I start with just a circle here at the origin and then I'll draw a second circle up above. And give these some dimensions. I've 80 and 60, and maybe also I'll draw a construction line between these two circles here and give that a dimension, Let's say 200 millimeters. This just gives me the general frame of my Link2. Then I draw with a couple arcs here, I'm going to use the arc command and I started an arc, I'm going to say somewhere about here to maybe about here. Then again I'm going to finish this off with a bunch of dimensions in the end and it's getting the general shape. Something like this as well. And then same idea on the other side. In this case I could use mirror command as well, here or symmetry relations, either way depending on your preferences. So I'll draw out something like that…
