Designing a Part in an Assembly Context

This task consists in designing the part you have just added to the assembly. It shows you how easy it is to access the tools required for designing components in an assembly context.
1.  Double-click CRIC_JOIN in the specification tree to access the Part Design workbench.
2.  Select the blue face as shown and click the Sketcher icon to access the Sketcher workbench.
3.  Now that you are in the Sketcher, click the Normal View icon in the View toolbar and sketch a circle on the face using the Circle command .

Do not bother about positioning the circle.

4.  Now to obtain the same radius value as the one used for CRIC_JOIN circular edge and to make sure that this circular edge and the circle share the same axis, use the Constraints Defined in Dialog Box command to create a coincidence constraint (select the circle -if not already done- and the circular edge, then click the Constraint Defined in Dialog Box command and check "Coincidence").
After validating the operation, the circle is coincident with the circular edge. You must obtain this: asmuggs014.jpg (29093 bytes)
5.  Exit the Sketcher and use the Pad command I_PadP2.gif (218 bytes) with the "Up to Plane" option to extrude the sketched circle. Select the blue face as shown to specify the limit of the pad.
After validating the operation, you should obtain this cylinder:

The part is designed.
