Introduction
'Pad a selected sketch' - This tool takes a selected sketch as its input (the 'defining sketch'), and produces with it a 'pad'. A pad is essentially an extrusion of a sketch. For example, if a sketch were made of two concentric circles, and the pad tool were subsequently used on this sketch, the result would be a cylinder:
Options
When creating a pad, the 'pad parameters' dialogue has three parameters available for the user to edit:
Type
This parameter currently only has one implemented option - 'Dimension' - this tells the pad tool that it is a dimension that is to control the formation of the pad.
Length
This parameter sets the length a sketch is to be extruded by. Extrusions occur normal to the defining sketch plane.
Mirrored extent
This parameter is not currently implemented - the intention is to allow a mirroring of the pad about the plane of its defining sketch.
Reverse
A switch to toggle the direction of the extrusion (positive or negative along the normal of its defining sketch). (Default = False).
