3.2.6.1.8. Create external chamfers on the hexagon

In order to display the external chamfers on the cap nut hexagon, two angled lines, a vertical and a horizontal must be drawn in.

  • Angled line inclined to the left

    1. Click the Line at angle to line with length button . Using this function you can create Lines at any Angle to another line.

    2. Highlight the upper DK/2 as line of reference. --> The new line follows the cursor.

    3. Move the cursor to the starting point (intersection point between upper horizontal line DK/2 and hex height M) of the angled line until the snap appears and fix it with a mouse click.

    4. From this point, draw a Line rising to the left and fix it.

    5. Dialog box Change parameter: Enter the angle 90+15 and the length 5.[3]

  • Angled line inclined to the right

    Before you can draw in the second angled line, you need the Start point of the chamfer.

    The position of starting point results from the intersection between y-axis and a further horizontal (distance DW/2).

    1. Add horizontal line above the x-axis at a distance of DW/2 .

    2. Again, click on the button Line at angle to line with length and as line of reference highlight the axis DW/2. --> The new line follows the cursor.

    3. Lead the cursor to the starting point (intersection point between Y axis and the horizontal DW/2) of the angled line until the snap appears and fix it with a mouse click.

    4. Draw an ascending line from the Start point to the right side and fix it with a single mouse click.

    5. Enter the angle 90-15° and the length 5.

      [Note] Note

      The length of the angled lines is purposely overly dimensioned initially. Later they will be reduced to the distance dimension of S (width across flat).

  • Width across flats

    Draw a horizontal line above the x-axis at a distance of S.
