Creating Part Models

New Part models are created from a default template, which contains default datum planes and a coordinate system.

Default datum planes provide 3 orthogonal planes in 3D space that can be used as initial references when creating features on models.

All default templates in this tutorial are setup to use millimeters.

 

Task 2-1. Create the PISTON_PIN model using the default template.

  1. Click New from the main toolbar.
    • Select Part as the Type.
    • Type PISTON_PIN as the Name and press ENTER.
