Probably all a bit small but on an A3 sheet should look OK for now. I have also added a viewport in the Layout sheet and an A3 drawing sheet with several view ports. The inside radii of the bends of the Alclad sheet are set to 3t, the outside 4t. The spot-face has a diameter of 0.375" (5/32") which is put there after the plate is 1501 Alodine (tm) treated.Ħ. There are two major holes with a 0.005" spot-face on them on the same side the small hole countersinking. The minor holes are countersunk 100 deg on one end on the same face to a major diameter of 0.183" to accommodate a MS20426-A3-A3 Al rivet head.ĥ. The minor holes are 0.104" diameter (#37 drill).Ĥ. The major holes are 0.156" diameter (5/32" drill).ģ. I am using Inches as a Unit of Measurement.Ģ. The plate is a t=0.040" thick with dimensions roughly. I have attached a new file with the flanged plate completed. I am still not good at this stuff but I am better than when I started. After reading this and with some insight provided by others, I decided to design the plate again from scratch with a different approach.

The problem of working in the same plane is probably better known to the more experienced user and a pain to those new to cad if they don't grasp the basic concepts, so I would like to gain a better insight how to prevent such misalignments.Īre there any tutorials on this? In any case, my whole drawing career hinges on it so it is a big ask if you can show me the exact steps to keep stuff on the same drafting plane. It is also happening in CorelCAD and NanoCAD both of which use a similar CAD Engine to Dassault Draftsight. You can see things moving around but as soon as this process is to set the 3rd destination, nothing more happens. I have one of the flanges near the plate and with ESNAPS on, I can commence a Modify>Align operation with source and destination points. That little fillet is pretty special to me because it took me a lot of time to make. In the attached DWG file, there is a plate, two stiffening flanges and one curvilinear fillet floating around in the ether. They are out there but I cannot bring them back to mother earth (the plate). My current problem is that, in any of these applications including BricsCAD, I am having issues with drawing on the same plane with the result that my stiffening flanges and indeed my curvilinear corner fillet(s) have all gone the way of Voyager I and II. I am at advanced-beginner level with CAD so still very much in 2D drafting board intuitive mode. It was originally created in NanoCAD 5.0, then went to AutoCAD 2015, then CorelCAD 2015 and now I am here with it. I have this pet hate of mine, my Murphy's Law Alclad (tm) Plate with two existing flanges and the desire to put two stiffening flanges between the flanges with the mounting holes.
