Basic 3D Commands

EXTRUDE – The EXTRUDE (EXT) command will allow you to create a 3D solid object from a 2D object.

PRESSPULL – The PRESSPULL (PRESS) command will allow you to create a 3D solid object from a 2D object or an island (area enclosed by other objects). Although similar to EXTRUDE, PRESSPULL will keep the original 2D objects instead of deleting them as EXTRUDE will.

UNION – The UNION (UNI) command will allow you to “weld” two or more 3D solid objects into one.

SUBTRACT – The SUBTRACT (SU) command will allow you to remove a 3D solid object from another solid object.

3DMOVE – The 3DMOVE (3M) command will let you move parts along a selected axis.

3DROTATE – The 3DROTATE (3R) command will allow you to rotate parts around a select axis.

CHAMFER – The CHAMFER (CHA) command, when working with 3D objects, will allow you to create a diagonal cut along the edge of an object.

FILLET – The FILLET (F) command, when working with 3D objects, will allow you to create a radius cut along the edge of an object.

FLATSHOT – The FLATSHOT (FL) command will create a 2D representation of 3D objects based on the current view. For example, using a front view, FLATSHOT will create an elevation view. Using an isometric view will create a “3-dimensional” representation in 2D.
