Verifying Relations

Before you proceed, define some geometric relations that ensure that the knob is positioned correctly with respect to the center of the box, regardless of the size. Relations add to the integrity of the design, and they are often the most effective way to convey the design intent accurately.

  1. In the FeatureManager design tree, right-click Knob and select Edit Sketch .
  2. Click Normal To (Standard Views toolbar).
    The front of the model now faces toward you.
  3. Delete the dimensions (60) between the circle and the sides of the box so the circle feature location is no longer fixed. (Select the dimension and press Delete.)
  4. Select the center point of the circle, and drag the circle to one side.
  5. Click Centerline (Sketch tab) and sketch a diagonal centerline as shown to use for positioning the circle. Press Esc to exit the Centerline tool.
