5 Make the left viewport active and change the view so that you see a front
view of the part as you look at the sketch plane.
Desktop Menu View ➤ 3D Views ➤ Front
6 Sketch a rectangular outline of the cylinder, following the prompts.
Context Menu In the graphics area, right-click and choose 2D Sketching
➤ Rectangle.
Specify first corner point or [Chamfer/Elevation/Fillet/Thickness/Width]:
Specify a point
Specify other corner point: Specify a second point
7 Use AMPROFILE to convert the sketch to a profile for the feature.
Context Menu In the graphics area, right-click and choose Sketch Solving
➤ Single Profile.
Mechanical Desktop selects the sketch you just drew, and converts it to a pro-
file. The sketch still needs four dimensions or constraints.
