All language subtitles for 65 Variable Angle Draft

This is tutorial number 65 and it covers how to use the variable angle draft with

in Katia V5. To start off, open up tutorial part number 64 which is located on the

DVD. Now once you've done that the variable angle draft can be found in the

toolbar over here or if you click insert, dress up features, draft, you can click

draft and then you can toggle over to the variable draft. Now the variable draft

it works very much the same as the variable radius fillet that we used before.

So you're going to have a line, you're going to have multiple points and at each

point you're able to define what the draft angle is going to be at those points.

So to do this let's do a draft on the side here. So let's click the variable

angle draft and the face to draft. We'll click this face here and the neutral

face will click the top face here and you can see that we have two points, two

end points and then we're able to change what they are and we're also able to add

points on this line to get more control of the draft. So to add points you have

to click on the points there and then click anywhere on the line and you'll add

another point. So let's change this middle one let's make it 20. Click OK and

then we have 10 on either side. Click OK to accept and if we zoom out you can see

how the draft angle went from 10 to 20 and back down to 10. So you're able to

manipulate these draft angles to play around and to move around your draft

angle to optimize it to whatever your part design may be. Now let's do another

one on this face here. So let's click the variable angle draft. Click this face

here and the neutral element will be on top and let's add three more points. So

let's just click on this line three times at different points. Now let's change

all of these draft angles. So let's change this one to two. Change this one to

four. This one is six. This one to eight and the last one to ten. Oh make this one

eight. This one's going to be ten and I think we have two eights in there. Yep. So

change this one back to six. So we're going to have two four six eight ten as

our draft angles. Now let's click OK and you can see how they uniformly all

sweep out together such as that. So you're able to control these points of

your draft with the variable angle draft. So this again gives you more

control when you're using your draft and utilizing it within your design. And

this concludes our tutorial on how to use the variable angle draft within KT of V5.
