ABSTRACT

The aims of the chapter are:

To demonstrate how 3D models can be saved as blocks for insertion into other drawings via the DesignCenter.

To show how a library of 3D models in the form of blocks can be constructed to enable the models to be inserted into other drawings.

To give examples of the use of the tools from the Home/Modify panel:

D Array – Rectangular and Polar 3D arrays

D Mirror

D Rotate

To give an example of the use of the Helix tool.
