iParts work with parametric parts.
Steps to create an iPart, a tube for example:
2. | In the sketch add a circle |
3. | Add a dimension to the circle and in the tiny mm box type Diameter=20 |
4. | End the sketch and extrude it. |
5. | In the edit box for the extrusion type Length=50. |
7. | Now you have two model parameters named as you want as Length and Diameter (instead of the default L0 and D0). |
8. | You also have a tube which is 20 by 50 |
9. | Now go into the Manage tab and click on the Create iPart icon. (if grey disabled trying saving the file) |
10. | Now you can create a table of different sized tubes. Each row of the table is called a Member. |
