Detailing |
The Bulb Flat tool and Bulb Flat - 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.
To create a bulb flat object:
Click the tool and mode.
Click to place the object in the drawing, 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.
Click to show/hide the parameters.Click to show/hide the parameters.

Parameter |
Description |
|
Series |
Select the desired series to display the appropriate nominal sizes |
|
Size |
Select the bulb flat size |
|
Length (3D only) |
Enter the length of the 3D bulb flat |
|
Place Locus at Centroid (2D only) |
Select whether to draw a locus at the centroid of the 2D bulb flat |
|
Lock Centroid Position |
Locks the centroid position; when locked, the centroid behaves like the object’s insertion point and remains in position if the object’s shape/size/rotation is edited |
