CAD - Drawing a slotted rotor
There is no audio on this video. Here is a description of the drawing steps:
- Draw the outer circle
- Draw one rectangular notch
- Use Transform - Polar Array Copy to make 11 copies of the rectangle, rotating each copy
30 degrees about the Z axis (ie 0,0,30)
- Select all, then convert all to polylines (CTRL+A, then CTRL+P)
- Select all again, then use Edit - Break at Intersections
- Select the parts of the shape to keep, then use Edit - Join
- Select the unwanted parts, then delete them (is easiest to select all, then CTRL+click on the shape to keep, to deselect it)
