4. VARIOUS VIEWS -

5. REPORT -

DRAFT : DRAFT IS PROVIDING ANGLES OR TAPERS ON PRODUCT FEATURES SUCH AS WALLS,RIBS,POSTS AND BOSSES THAT LIE PARALLEL TO THE DIRECTION OF RELEASE FROM THE MOLD EASES PART EJECTION . 

MOST PARTS OR APPLICATIONS REQUIRE MINIMUM OF 1/2 TO 1 DEGREE , HOWEVER 3 DEGREES IS WIDELY ACCEPTED AS THE NORM.

IN CATIA WE CAN MAKE DRFT ANALYSIS ON A COMPONENT OR PART . YOU SHOULD INSERT THE FEATURE DRAFT ANALYSIS OPTION AND TAKE THE DIRECTION ON THE TOOLING AXIS . THEN WE CAN ANALIZE THE DRAFT ANALYSIS. 

TO CREATE A TOOLING AXIS - 

STEP 1 : FIRST YOU ENSURE THE WHICH AXIS OR DIRECTION IS SUITABLE THE PART . 

STEP 2 : AFTER SELECTING THE AXIS TO CREATE A POINT ON IT .

STEP 3 : IN THAT POINT WE CAN CREATE DUMMY LINE THAT IS NOTHING BUT TH DUMMY TOLLING AXIS . 

STEP 4 : AFTER THE THE DUMMY  TOOLING AXIS THEN CREATE A PLANE AND MAKE INTERSECT TO THE PART .

STEP 5 : AFTER THE INTERSECTION THEN DRAW THE LINES WHICH ARE PARALLEL TO THE DUMMY TOOLING AXIS . 

STEP 6 : THEN HIDE THE DUMMY TOOLAXIS . WHEN USE THE LINES TO MAKE A BISECT LINE . THE BISECT LINE IS THE OUR MAIN TOOLING AXIS LINE THA IS USED TO MAKE THE DRAFT ANALYSIS.
