This command allows to create a rectangular profile and position it
with key points.
Creation stages / Use:
Select the 2D Sketch > Other curves
> Rectangular cell... command from the drop-down menu.
Enter the width value.
Enter the height value.
Select a key point.
Position the rectangular cell in your sketch.
|
When the automatic dimensions mode is enabled, dimensional
constraints (driving dimensions) are created too. According to the selected key point, centering constraints
on dimensions could be created too (and this key point will
be added in the sketch to define centering): Center
key point: centering constraints added on width dimension
and height dimension. Top/bottom
center key point: centering constraints added on width dimension
only. Left/right
center key point: centering constraints added on height dimension
only. |
|
The cells do not provide
a profile or a section, they cannot be used as they are (for example,
they cannot be extruded or use them to create a flat shape or
a sheet metal part). They are used as construction geometry in
sketch editing. |
|
The Explode
contextual command (called on a cell geometry) allows to break
down a cell entity into 4 sketch segments to be able to make modifications
(fillets, chamfers, etc...). |
Modifications / Additional information:
The rectangular cell is created oriented by default so that the rectangle
is not be deformed when it will be moved. However, you can disable this
orientation with a right click on the rectangle and select Oriented
(from Cell area).
