Workflow overview: Create a parametric solid model and associated drawings
1 Create a part in a part file (.ipt) or assembly (.iam) file. If you are working
on a small assembly or it is early in the design process, consider creating
your part in a part file.
2 Use tools on the Sketch toolbar or panel bar to sketch the basic shape of
the base feature.
Geometric constraints define the shape of objects in your sketch.
3 Analyze your sketch geometry and, if necessary, choose the appropriate
geometric constraint from the panel bar or from the Sketch toolbar.
You can add or delete constraints later to modify the shape of the sketch.
Dimensions define the size of the objects in your sketch.
4 Click the General Dimension tool in the panel bar or from the Sketch
toolbar and apply dimensions.
