Detailing surface finish?

[JimiH]

Hello


I want to show in a drawing that a specified portion ofa surface has a required surface finish. I created a sketch on the surface to show the required position.





This is detailed like this





I want to change the blue line to a dotted one but proe wont let me.


Anyone have any methods for doing this?


Thanks


Geoff

Hey Geoff,


Just an FYI, users of your drawing could be a bit confused if they are used to interpreting per ASME standards where a dotted line is usally used to indicate a sewing or stiching operations.


Achain line (a thick centerline) with dimensions is used to indicate that asurface or surface zone is torecieve additional treatment or consideration. When used as in your example it would be filled with x-hatching.

Hey thanks Jim, I'll look into it.


How would I hatch the chosen area, can you do that without having to section?


Thanks


Geoff

Yep, it is easy. Within the model environment right click on the sketch feature in your modeltree. Select properties. The window pops up and the second tab allows you to select cross hatching and vary the spacing.

you can also add an ecad area sketch in the 3d that is visible in 2d as a cosmetic...

Select the sketch and Edit Definition. You should then see a Placement and a Properties tab. Select the properties tab to specify xhatching.
