Upon completion of this course the student will be able to: Objective: Open, view, and save Cimatron E files Backup and archive Cimatron files Import and Export files in a variety of neutral formats for interaction with other CAD systems Understand the interface and mouse control for effective use in all Cimatron Modules Be familiar with system defaults and the preference screens where these can be customized Select varying types of geometry and control entity picking by filters Control and organize on-screen data by use of sets and blanking Modify the display of parts on screen by rotation, shading, lighting, and transparency Use the measuring tool to query part dimensions and attributes Creation and manipulate coordinate systems Concepts for parametric and history based modeling, including the importance of feature order and its corresponding display in a tree Use the Cimatron sketcher. Included in this task are creation of geometry and dimensioning and making constraints between entities Print and plot Efficiently browse help and tutorial files to find answers to questions and further self teaching on the system Search the technical resources of the Cimatron website and know how to view their support history Create new Part and Assembly documents Be able to create and modify wireframe, surface, and solid geometry using Cimatron tools Know when stitching a part can be useful, and when it's not necessary at all Use the automated QuickSplit tools to speed up the part splitting process Understand the QuickSplit process, and how it can be applied to everyday work Understand how Assemblies work, and how they can be used to easily organize large projects Create and manage multiple views and drawings Setup drafting parameters Manage model to view associatively View annotation – dimensioning, notes, labels, balloons, symbols Hatch Create section views and exploded views Produce automatic drawings using templates Use symbolic text Understand the update function Use of PMI and its tools Structure: Theoretical lectures alternate with interactive lab work. Materials Provided: Cimatron Training CD containing web based training and part files. Prerequisites: The student should be familiar with their own operating system, and the use of a three-button mouse. An understanding of CAD is helpful but not necessary.
