Step 1: Draw the part profile<br />
The first step in this project is to draw the outer profile of the part. This profile is square-shaped<br />
with an open pocket along the lower edge.<br />
You will begin by drawing all four outer lines at once. You will then offset three of the lines to form<br />
the profile of the open pocket at the bottom. You will finish by trimming the lines and rounding the<br />
corners with half-inch fillets.<br />
Draw the square<br />
Begin by drawing a rectangle that is 10 inches x 10 inches square with its lower left corner located<br />
at the origin. Although <strong>SURFCAM</strong> offers many ways to draw lines, you will create lines in this<br />
project using the following line commands:<br />
• Rectangle will be used to create the four sides of the outer profile.<br />
• Offset will be used to create the basic shape of the open pocket at the bottom of the profile.<br />
