This is the first post of a series of 10 posts in which I intend to go through 10 3D CAD exercises for CAD beginners. In this series I will be using AutoCAD, a free version of this software is available for download on AutoDesk website.
I suggest for you to have a look at these 2D AutoCAD exercises before diving into this session.
Also – before I move on with this tutorial – I strongly recommend getting our 100 CAD Exercises eBOOK !
The image below displays what we will try to draw today.
After drawing A and B, use the REGION command to unite all the pieces.
After using the REGION command, Use the EXTRUDE command on A with 25 and on B with 10.
Use the FREE ORBIT option to place yourself in the view similar to the one below.
Make sure your settings are correct in order to be able to MOVE the B figure from the center of the line shown with the red arrow to the center on A figure of the line pointed with the red arrow. After doing so, the figure should look similar to the one below.
Use the UNION command to unite A and B together.
Use the FILLET command to get the four rounded corners with a radius of 5.
1 edge(s) selected for fillet.
