By following these tasks in order, you can create your own chamfer symbol quickly and easily.

Open and Set Up the Symbol File

The software delivers several templates that you can use to create your custom symbols. For more information, see Open and Set Up the Symbol File.

Manage Layers and Display Settings

Create the required layers, and any optional layers, for the symbol. For more information, see Manage Layers.

After you have created the layers, adjust the display settings to meet your needs. For more information, see Set Display Settings.

Create Chamfer Part Geometry

Create geometry representing the part to be chamfered and the opposite part in the assembly connection. For more information, see Create Chamfer Part Geometry.

Sketch and Constrain Chamfer Geometry

Create the symbol geometry. For more information, see Sketch and Constrain Chamfer Geometry.

Name Chamfer Part Edges

Name geometric elements of the parts in the symbol. For more information, see Name Chamfer Part Edges.

Create Chamfer Groups

Group the symbol and part geometry. For more information, see Create Chamfer Groups.

Create Chamfer Symbol Representation

Assign output geometry to a symbol representation. For more information, see Create Chamfer Symbol Representation.

Define Chamfer Inputs

Specify the chamfer part inputs. For more information, see Define Chamfer Inputs.

Test Symbol Geometry

To verify that the geometry is properly constrained and behaves correctly, you need to test the symbol. For more information, see Testing Symbol Geometry.

Define Chamfer Symbol Properties

One of the most important steps of symbol creation is to map the dimensions in your symbol to the corresponding symbol parameter in your catalog workbook. For more information, see Define Chamfer Symbol Properties.

Adding Symbol Data to the Catalog

Add the part class of the symbol to the appropriate workbook from which it can be loaded into the Catalog database. For more information, see Add Symbol Data to the Catalog and Load Symbol Definition Data into an Excel Bulkload File.
