Part Overlap (2-D)

Overlap part

2-D Part > Overlap > Part

The Overlap part function enables you to define parts as an overlap contour.

1. First identify the part that you want to overlap.
2. Then choose the overlapping part, and right-click to end the identification.

To display the overlap, select Overlap > Visible > Hide hidden edges. You can also define whether you want the hidden lines to be displayed by means of another line type.

(1) Part 1, level 1
(2) Part 2, level 2
(3) Part 3, level 3

Define overlap contour

2-D Part > Overlap > Part > Overlap contour

The overlap contour is a prerequisite for representing overlaps. The visualisation level only takes effect when an overlap area has been defined.

1. Identify the start of the contour.
2. Assign a level to the contour.
3. Specify whether you want the levels of the sub-parts to be adjusted to the main part.

You can now specify further contours in any order and define the overlap level.

4. Right-click to end the identification.

To display the overlap, activate the Hidden Edges, Hidden function.

Define exclusion contour

2-D Part > Overlap > Part > Exclusion contour

This function enables you to define the contour for an exclusion, e.g. a bore in a plate, in the active part.

The prerequisites are an overlap contour in the active part and a contour that can be defined as asubtarction.

1. Identify the start of the contour for the exclusion.
2. Right-click to end the identification.
3. Choose Redraw from the toolbar to display the exclusion.

(1) Part 1, level 1
(2) Part 2, level 2
(3) Part 3, level 3
(4) Exclusion contour
