the Part Design Workbench



Extracting geometry
Shell Update

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002 11
Extracting Geometry (1/2)
The Extract capability lets you generate separate elements from initial geometry, without deleting
geometry. This operation may be especially useful to solve difficulties when drafting for example.
Use the Draft command to draft the
pad with 10 as angle value for
example.

Once done, the application informs
you that the operation cannot be
properly achieved.
Click OK to close the error message 3

Extracting Geometry (2/2)
A new dialog box displays providing you with a
solution. You can deactivate the draft and extract its
geometry. To do so, click Yes.
The Extract capability lets you generate separate elements from initial geometry, without deleting
geometry. This operation may be especially useful to solve difficulties when drafting for example.

Draft.1 appears as deactivated in the specification
tree. A node "Extracted Geometry" is displayed in
the tree too. This category includes the elements
created by the application, namely five surfaces.
You can now use Generative Shape
Design capabilities to complete the
draft.
