In this video we're going to cover the steps to assemble parts together.…The first step is to make sure we have the required parts in the assembly.…You don't need to bring all the components in at once; however, sometimes it…speeds the workflow to have the major components available.…Secondly, aligning the parts close to their desired location will help to…connect the parts together.…In this assembly, I have a block and I am showing the planes of both the…assembly and the part.…Now, most of the time when you bring in a new part, your beginning part you…are going to start with, they are going to be automatically aligned together on the origins.…
In this case, we don't have that.…So what I am going to do is I am going to mate the two together, and we are…going to cover the Mate command in the next few movies.…Click on Mate, and I am going to click on the origin of this one and the origin…of that one, and they are just going to slide together. And it says Coincident…and it says Align axes, and that's what we want.…

3/7/2012The course shows how to cut and revolve holes into parts and use the Hole Wizard tool to generate industry standard holes like counter bores, counter sinks, and taps. Best practice for designing parts is emphasized throughout the course as well as methods for creating parts faster and easier using equations, mirroring, and patterning tools. The course wraps up with generating manufacturing-ready drawings complete with an itemized Bill of Materials. As a bonus feature, Gabriel shows how to photo render a final design. Exercise files are included with the course.
