DescriptionCommand NameIcon
Converts mechanical structure objects to non-
mechanical structure objects. When used on
AMEXPLODE
non-mechanical structure objects, breaks a
compound object into its component objects.
Performs a spring calculation and inserts a
compression spring in the drawing area.
AMEXT2D
Inserts an external thread from the content
library.
AMEXTHREAD2D
Creates a feature control frame symbol and,
attaches it to an object in the drawing.
AMFCFRAME
Performs a Finite Element Analysis on a two-
dimensional object that is subject to a static
load.
AMFEA2D
Creates a feature identification symbol and
attaches it to an object in the drawing area.
AMFEATID
Rounds and fillets the edges of objects with
an arc of a specified radius.
AMFILLET2D
Generates a fits list from the dimensions in the
drawing area and enables you to place at a
location of your choice.
AMFITSLIST
Inserts a circlips and draws the corresponding
groove on a shaft.
AMGROOVE2D
Inserts a grooved drive stud from the content
library.
