In this exercise, you'll practice how to create a sketch projection onto a surface and apply a sketch constraint.

This is a practice exercise video solution
00:05
For this practice.

Let's get started with the supply data set sketch constraints.f three d.
00:10
We want to begin by modifying the sketch for rod,
00:14
which you can see by the icon is under defined.
00:17
We're going to right click and edit the sketch
00:19
and we need to place each of these circles in the correct location.
00:22
You'll note that when we hover over the different holes that we have a profile,
00:27
that we can select.
00:28
What we need to do is we need to add
00:30
a constraint or some way to positively locate these holes
00:34
first. We're going to start by dragging and dropping
00:37
and waiting for it to snap and you'll notice that no snaps are happening.
00:41
And this is because even though we have profiles, we can select,
00:44
we don't actually have projected geometry.
00:46
So to get started, let's go to create
00:49
project include and project
00:50
and project each of these three holes.
00:53
This will give us the center point location for each hole.
00:56
Now we can decide to drag and drop from center to center.
01:00
We can use a coincident constraint selecting the center
01:03
point of one and the center point of another.
01:05
Or we can use the concentric constraint
01:08
selecting one circle and the projective geometry
01:11
When we finished the sketch,
01:12
the new geometry is now created and you'll
01:15
note that we still have our block component
01:17
as well as each individual rod but now they're in the correct location
01:20
because they are components,
01:22
they are free to move about still but they were designed in place
01:26
at this point. Let's make sure that we save before moving on.
