Angular Measuring Tool Assembly
Yesterday I posted an entry showing two parts I had designed which together would result into a Measuring tool. Today I want to show you how the tool looks like when both those components are assembled together. This was a very simple Assembly process, all it took me was to Mate both units using the Concentric option. Here it goes, some of the views of the Assembled tool. Smiles.
Angular Measuring Tool
Greetings Folks!
Couple of months ago a Ceramic artist and instructor asked me to help him materialize one of his inventions using a Designing software. It was a tool he had created to help artists (ceramic artists) do angular measurements without having to spend too much time around this task and at the same time to enjoying the benefits of accuracy which this tool would provide. It was a lot of fun to be part of his endeavour. Here it goes, I posted a few views of both parts that make up this tool so you can see it. You will notice that several angular features were used to add the "holes" onto the wooden piece.

HA! FINALLY A RECTANGULAR PART!
Hi there, I had promised a more Mechanical inclined Part and here you have it. It's a very simple piece but it involves features I have not covered yet. I just realized that I had the Units on my Document Properties set up to Millimeter (mm). I changed it to Inch for this Part. If you want to follow this tutorial using the same dimensions as it was built on, maybe it's a good idea to use Inch as your Unit system as well, in case you do not have it already set as a default. If you don't know or forgot how to do that, I wrote an instruction page (as part of my TIPS series) so that you can follow. Just CLICK HERE to refresh your genius mind.
