Working with Standard
Parts
In this tutorial, you learn to work with standard parts in AutoCAD
®
Mechanical. You insert
a screw connection, a hole, and a pin. You also edit the standard parts with power commands.
Key Terms
DefinitionTerm
A contour that is covered by another contour or by objects that
are lying behind another contour, in the 3D sense. A background
may be a foreground for an additional contour.
background
A line that is infinite in both directions or infinite starting at a
point which can be inserted into the drawing area. You use C-
C-line (construction
line)
lines to transfer important points (for example, center points of
holes) into other views or drawing areas.
A chamfered hole that allows bolt and screw heads to be flush
or below the part surface.
countersink
The act of determining the size of a standard part with the cursor
while inserting it into a side view. The standard part is displayed
dynamic dragging
dynamically on the screen and can be dragged to the next pos-
sible size or length. The values (sizes) are taken from the Standard
parts database.
