Fig. 2. The Browser

1. To the left of the design window is the browser window. The Workplane browser gives a history of the workplanes used in creating the design. The three default workplanes (base, frontal, lateral) will always be present along with any other planes that have been created. In fig. 2 the plane created for the axle holes is also shown.

2. Place the mouse arrow over the word Workplane (or the downwards facing arrow to the right) and click the left mouse button. Two other options will appear as shown in fig. 3, Components and Feature. Either of the other two alternative browsers can be selected by placing the mouse arrow over the appropriate word and clicking once with the left mouse button.

   The Components browser lists all the components used to create an assembly. At the moment this will be blank as the model only contains one component. You will learn more about this Module 3.

   The Feature browser lists all the features, such as extrusions and projections, that you have applied to your design. A + to the left of an item in a tree indicates that that part of the tree may be expanded. To open up the branch place the mouse arrow over + sign and click once with the left mouse button.

   A number of options are available by placing the mouse arrow over an item in the tree and clicking the right mouse button once.
