Haochen CAD tutorial mechanical peripheral array

In CAD design, the array function is mainly used to create multiple identical objects, and its use is also extremely extensive. In order to help you quickly master the use of array functions, in today's CAD tutorial, we use Haochen CAD Machinery 2012 software as a tool to briefly introduce the array function. Currently, CAD software generally provides two array functions: a rectangular array and a circular array. For circular array commands, Haochen CAD mechanical software provides many practical tools for linear arrays, circular arrays, rectangular arrays, peripheral arrays, and curved arrays (Figure 1). Figure 1 In the above arrays, peripheral arrays are rarely seen. So let's take a look at the specific application of the peripheral array. First, run the [Construction Tool] & mdash; [Hole Array] command in the Haochen CAD Machinery 2012 menu in turn, and the software will pop up a dialog box. In the dialog box, Haochen CAD mechanical software provides detailed peripheral array setting options. We can set parameters such as array row number, column number, row spacing, column spacing, and tilt angle. In today's example, we enter the array parameters "4, 4, 10, 10, 0& rdquo;, type selection & ldquo; double round hole", inner hole diameter "5", outer hole diameter < 6 & rdquo;, The centerline is set to “radial distribution”. Then click [OK], the system will prompt to insert the array reference point (Figure 2). Figure 2 Of course, if we need to rotate a certain angle, you can enter different angles in the parameters. For example, we input the angle as "45 degrees", type selection "threaded hole", the nominal diameter is "5" (see Figure 3). The above is a brief introduction of the peripheral array.
