BINDER

 

The functions in the BINDER menu are used to generate various types of binders.     Figure 6.2 shows the types of binder available in the BINDER menu.

 

 

Figure 6.2 Binder Types

 

 

The outer or inner binder is associated with the outer or inner addendum; there can be only one outer binder and addendum pair in a project while there can be several inner binder and inner addendum pairs in a project if necessary.

 

 

1.        TWO-LINE BINDER

 

Uses two orthogonal cross lines to define the binder shape.

 

2.        FLAT BINDER

 

Uses a flat rectangular surface to define the binder.

 

3.        CONICAL BINDER

 

Uses a conical surface with two radii to define the binder shape.

 

4.        BOUNDARY LINE BINDER

 

Uses the part boundary line or user-selected/created line to define the binder.

 

5.        FLANGE BINDER

 

Uses the flanges on the part to define the binder shape.

 

6.      FREE FORM BINDER

 

         Uses the binder section lines from selected locations on the screen to define the binder.

 

A detailed description of each function is given in the following section.
