Shafts

The Shaft tool and Shaft - 3D tool share the same position on the tool set. Click and hold the mouse on the visible tool to open the Pop-out tools list and select the desired tool.

The Shaft tool allows the creation of a shaft consisting of multiple straight, tapered, and threaded shaft segments.

To insert a shaft segment:

1.      Click the tool and mode.

2.Click to place the object, and click again to set the rotation. The first time you use the tool in a file, a properties dialog box opens. Set the default parameters. The parameters can be edited later from the Object Info palette.

3.Click the Configuration button from the Object Info palette to add, delete, or modify shaft component segments (see Shaft segment properties).
