Then tailor your design using the following configuration parameters:

  • Number of Dowels in Length: Set the number of dowels along the length of the assembly.
  • Number of Dowels in Width: Specify the number of dowels along the width of the assembly.
  • Dowel Type: Choose from round or flat dowels.
  • Dowel: Select from a list of standard dimensions or enter custom dimensions for a personalized fit.
  • Rotation: Adjust the orientation of flat dowels if needed.
  • Width Gap: Set the assembly clearance on each side of the flat dowels.
  • Solid Names for Dowels: Define the names for the dowel solids.
  • Appearance: Customize the appearance of the dowels from a dropdown list.

 

If you want to preview the result before finalizing, check the "Preview Result" box. Once satisfied, click "OK" to automatically generate the assembly.
