In this tutorial, you will create the crankshaft shown on the previous page.  Through the creation of this part, you will learn basic sketching, dimensioning, and constraining techniques that will give you the foundation necessary to create sketches with confidence.

Task 1: Use sketch entities to develop the shape of the lobe


        
Task 2: Constrain and dimension the lobe sketch and extrude geometry from the sketch



Task 3: Use sketch entities to develop the shape of the lobe shaft


Task 4: Dimension sketch of shaft and extrude geometry from the sketch


Task 5
: Trace an existing sketch to cut-away geometry on the lobe


Task 6: Create a hex-cut in the shaft


Task 7: Emboss text on the lobe
