Before creating the first sketch we will define main planes for the model.
From the Datum menu, select the Plane/Main Planes option.
You may also press the right mouse button to display the Feature Guide in the display.
CimatronE 9.0
QuickTour Tutorial 6
Click on the Isometric View icon to display the following view of the main planes:
Practice manipulating the Cimatron work area by using the three buttons shown below:
QuickTour Tutorial 7
CimatronE 9.0
Pick the XY plane as the sketching plane. (Or simply exit the selection using
the middle mouse button. By doing this, the system automatically selects the XY
plane as the Sketcher plane).
When the Sketcher opens, the vertical Sketcher Toolbar appears on the right
side of the display.
Click the Rotate to Plane icon.
In the Sketcher toolbar the Line option is selected as the default drawing tool.
CimatronE 9.0
QuickTour Tutorial 8
Move the mouse to the right, make sure that the dashed red horizontal line i.e. horizontal
constraint appears, and then pick the second end point.
When creating geometric entities, lines or points are highlighted to help you align entities
relative to the Sketcher UCS or other entities.
CimatronE 9.0
QuickTour Tutorial 9
Drag the mouse to the third point as shown in the figure below and click it.
You may work with the Show Constraints Constantly mode to see the constraint while
creating the sketcher. By default, this tool is turned on when you enter sketcher, enabling you
to view all the constraints in the sketch.
CimatronE 9.0
QuickTour Tutorial 10
Meanwhile turn the Show Constraints Constantly off, by selecting the Sketcher Tools
icon.
Drag the mouse to the left until both the X horizontal & Y vertical constraints (dashed
lines) appear. Click to define the end point of the third line.
CimatronE 9.0
QuickTour Tutorial 11
Drag the mouse downwards and pick the UCS origin point to complete the creation of the
last line.
Exit the line function by pressing the Middle Mouse Button.
Now that you have learned the basic sketch features (line and constraints), we will recreate the
sketch using the rectangle option.
To undo the sketch created, either press the Undo icon four times, OR press the left and
middle mouse buttons together four times.
Sketch a rectangle
Press the rectangle icon in the Sketcher Toolbar. Pick the UCS origin as the first point,
move the mouse to the right and upwards and Pick the second corner point i.e. top right of the
rectangle.

You may create the extrude by clicking Solid/New/Extrude from the main menu.
Accept the default parameters.
CimatronE is a hybrid environment, which can work with closed, open or partially open
solid objects. Solid, Surfaces and Wire-Frame tools can be applied on the same object.
We will now create a blend face.
CimatronE 9.0
QuickTour Tutorial 19
We will now import predefined contours. Instead of receiving these contours another option
would be to create the blend contours via the sketcher.
A part document will be imported from the Cimatron E Explorer.
From the File menu, select the Import/From Part option.
From the CimatronE Explorer, select the Sketch Tutorial.elt file (located in the
\\Tutorial Work Files \ Getting Started directory).

While loading the project you can already decide on the layout and where to position your
parts.
You can either create a new layout part or load one from a predefined layouts library.
The Mouse cover is a single cavity mold, so accept the default Layout part Layout-1-Cavmm i.e. a single cavity layout part.
Click OK.
CimatronE 9.0
QuickTour Tutorial 68
There is also a Parting sub-assembly, which is activated by default and will be used first.
CimatronE 9.0
QuickTour Tutorial 69
The Parting sub-assembly will later include the work parts and parting faces parts. This
helps to organize the spilt work.
The outer blue box is a simple sketch that represents a preliminary mold base size. It can be
edited to any size just to help with the layout until there is a real mold base built.
The inner box represents the bounding box work part.
We will now load the work part and position it onto the UCS in the Layout part.
Click the Load Work Parts icon in the Parting Guide.
CimatronE 9.0
QuickTour Tutorial 70
Work part : All necessary operations for the mold part creation are performed in this
document . Operations include fixing the model, splitting the model, creating parting lines and
parting surfaces, creating the mold UCS and the mold part objects and exporting them. The
working document is associative to the master document.
Click the Open file button.
From the Cimatron E Explorer select the Mouse cover.elt file (located in the \\Tutorial

The draft angle of the model is automatically color-coded according to the default color map
values.
You may change the colors as well as the values.
CimatronE 9.0
QuickTour Tutorial 80
Ensure that there are no red faces (undercuts) in the model and exit the Draft Angle
Analysis.
The parting curve will be automatically created. Each entity in the parting curve gets the
attributes of the faces it belongs to.
The preview parting lines are not only for analysis purposes. Once the preview is
performed, any curve/surface that is created using the edge of the parting line will
automatically get parting attributes. The parting line preview can be updated at any stage, after
changes to the part.
Verify that the Mouse cover-work is active.
CimatronE 9.0
QuickTour Tutorial 81
A preview of the parting curve is created on common boundaries of every pair of QuickSplit
objects (Quick sets).
QuickTour Tutorial 82
CimatronE 9.0
CimatronE 9.0
QuickTour Tutorial 83
Verify the parting curve created is picked, and change the width of the parting curve to
100, as shown below:
CimatronE 9.0
QuickTour Tutorial 84
Open the slider. The parting face which was created using the parting curve, gets the
attributes of the parting curve, and therefore belongs to both sets.
In the 'Parting' process, main curve/face creation functions work in a way that they inherit
the parting attributes of the curves/faces that are used as input for the functions.
CimatronE 9.0
