All language subtitles for 28 Circle Profiles

This is tutorial number 28 and it covers the circle profiles within KT of V5.

To start off, open up a KT of V5 part and once you've done that, let's go into the sketch or workbench.

Let's click sketch and let's click any of the planes.

Now the circle profiles, you can find them if you click insert, profile, circle and you have all the different circle profiles.

You can also find them on the side toolbar and these are all your circle profiles.

For the most part, we've been using the circle and there's many other circle profiles that you're also able to use.

So what I'm going to do is I'm going to go through a few and just so you figure out how to click and figure out what all the parameters are.

So with the circle, all you're doing is one clicking and pulling it out.

Now with this one here, the three point circle, you have to put three points together to create your circle.

So one, two and then your third click defines it.

Now with this one, the try tangent circle, what you have to do is have three faces that you want it to be tangent to.

So what we're going to do is we're going to draw three lines in, make kind of like a little triangle.

And now when you go to make this circle, they're going to make it in such a way that it's going to try to touch all these points and stay within it.

So now we've made our try tangent circle.

So that's just kind of like the parameters that you need to get this circle to work.

Now with these ones here, the arcs, these two different types of three point arcs, this one, I'm not so much a fan of, the three point arc, but the three point arc with limits.

I like a lot. This one's a lot easier for me to use.

So I'll kind of show you both and see what you think.

So with this three point arc, it takes three points, three clicks to create your arc.

So one point here, one point here, and then you're able to kind of move this around and wheel it around until you find your arc position.

Now when you use the three point arc with the limits, it's one point, one point, and then it kind of stays with those two points that you click to begin with.

They're kind of pinned down, and then you're just able to move around this arc.

So I like this tool a lot more because it's a lot easier for me to kind of define my arcs, but really it's up to you.

So whatever works for you best is what you should use.

So that's all the circle profiles. It's just a little bit of an intro just how to use them and just what to look for when you're putting them together.

And that concludes our tutorial on how to use the circle profiles within KT-AV5.
