To Add Solid Features to a Mill Volume
Perform any of the following steps to add a solid feature to a mill volume:
Click Mill Volume > Extrude to create an extrude feature. Alternatively, click Model > Extrude. Extrude allows you to create a feature by projecting the section from the sketching plane.
Click Mill Volume > Revolve to create a revolve feature. Alternatively, click Model > Revolve. Revolve allows you to create a feature by revolving the sketched section around a centerline from the sketching plane into the part.
Click Model > Cut & Surface > Shapes > Swept Blend to create a swept blend feature.
Click Mill Volume > Shapes > Blend and select any option to create a blend feature. Alternatively, click Model > Cut & Surface > Shapes > Blend. Blend allows you to create a feature that consists of a set of planar sections that are connected by transition surfaces to form a solid.
Click Model > Cut & Surface > Shapes > Helical Sweep to create a helical sweep feature. Helical sweep allows you to create a feature by sweeping a section along a helical trajectory.
Click Mill Volume > Round to create a round feature. Alternatively, click Model > Cut & Surface > Shapes > Engineering > Auto Round > Round. Rounds are a type of edge treatment feature in which a radius is added to an edge or edges, an edge chain, or between surfaces. Surfaces can be solid model surfaces or traditional Creo Parametric zero-thickness quilts and surfaces.
Click Mill Volume > Edge Chamfer to create an edge chamfer feature.
Click Mill Volume > Datum to create advanced features. Advanced features are features with complex shapes, for example, datum curves or multiple trajectories.
Alternatively, click any of the following on the Model tab:
Based on the feature that you want to add, Creo NC displays the corresponding dashboard. Specify the necessary details to create the feature.
