2D Part Lesson 1 - BobCAD-CAM

Drawing the Internal Pockets
• Before beginning drawing the interior pockets of the part, start by creating a new layer,
naming the layer POCKETS, and making this the active layer. The steps for creating a
layer can be found in the prior section Drawing the Outside Profile.
• Next we need to finish completing the internal pockets of the part. To do this we first
need to add the linear edges of the pockets
◦ Select the Line Menu and select Parallel
▪
▪
Enter 0.25 in the Distance field because we can see in the above print that the
pocket boundary is 0.25” away from the outside profile.
Click the top left line in the workspace and then move the cursor towards the
inside of the part and click again to place the parallel line.
