Use Layers for Drawing Control
Organize and control line weights, colors, and visibility in drawings using layers.
Wrap Sketches on Curved Surfaces
Discover how to project 2D sketches onto curved faces using the Wrap tool, great for text, logos, or cutting.
Rib Feature for Fast Structural Support
The Rib tool lets you quickly create support material between sketch profiles and existing geometry, ideal for internal stiffeners or bracing. You'll learn how to sketch a single line, use direction control, and avoid common pitfalls like failed features from sharp intersections. Perfect for strengthening plastic parts or adding webbing to designs.
Optimize Flat Patterns
Learn techniques to simplify and clean up flat pattern representations for laser cutting or bending operations.
Combine Bodies into One Solid
Learn how to merge multiple solid bodies into one using the Combine feature. This is especially helpful when working with multi-body parts or imported geometry. We’ll cover the difference between Add, Subtract, and Common operations, plus tips for keeping features editable after combining.
Convert Entities – Sketch Smarter
Learn how to reuse geometry from edges or faces in your sketch using the "Convert Entities" tool. It’s a huge time-saver and keeps your sketches tied to existing geometry.
Instant3D for Real-Time Editing
Modify dimensions and drag geometry on the fly using Instant3D. Perfect for visual, fast modeling.
SpeedPak for Large Assemblies
Learn how to use SpeedPak to reduce assembly file size and boost performance while keeping essential faces for mating.
Performance Challenges of large STEP Import Files
Large import files often contain a large number of very small parts that are not needed for layout drawings, for example, but may be important for a collision analysis.
