Frame Points

To make the right side frame:

  • First create points 1 through 5.
  • Connect with line curves
  • Fillet with arc curves
    • Menu -> Insert -> Curves -> Lines and Arcs
    • Then use Arc (tan-tan-radius)
  • Use tube command
    • Insert -> Sweep -> Tube
    • IMPORTANT: From pulldown, select Tangent Curves – Follow Fillet
    • Tan
  • Note: It is a good idea to group the curves into a single group.

To make the left side frame:

  • Create a parent assembly that will become the frame assembly.
  • Go to the assembly and create a new component (just an empty part).
    • This will become the left.  Give it the name of the left side.
  • Stay in the assembly, but make the new part you just created (left side) the “work part.”
    • Insert -> Associative Copy -> Wave Geometry Linker
    • Set type to “mirror body”
    • Make sure “fix at current timestamp order” is off.
