LidMaker
Win64, EnglishGeneral Usage Instructions
The app creates a toolbar icon under SOLID -> CREATE. The user is prompted to select a planar face with a hole in it. The app automates the process of:
- Projecting the planar face into a new sketch
- Offsetting the inner edge to create a 'tab'
- Extruding the profiles to form the lid and tab
The lid will be generated as a new component. The user can specify the height of the lid, the thickness, and the dimensions of the 'tab' which ensure a tight fit in the hole.
