Drag a box around the whole drawing (all three sections will turn red indicating they have been selected) and press CTRL+C to copy the drawing to the clipboard. Grey dashed lines will appear to indicate a successful copy. The drawing will be used as a basis for the rest of the wing. Fig 3.
The first stage of the procedure must now be repeated….Right click on frontal in the Workplanes menu on the features browser. Select new sketch from the menu and name the sketch "wing1". The copied sketch must now be pasted onto a new workplane, but this must first be offset by 100mm from the original. To perform this task click on the Workplane menu and highlight Offset Plane. Enter 100 in the distance box. Press CTRL+V to paste the sketch onto this newly offset workplane.
The sketch now needs to be scaled to 75% of the original size. This will ensure an accurate representation of a wing in both length and cross-section. Whilst the sketch is highlighted in red as shown opposite. Click on the Edit menu and highlight Transform. Click the Scale tab and enter a figure of.75 in the factor field. Click OK and the sketch will be scaled to the correct value. |
