Project Geometry Motor Mount

Step 1: Create a 3x2x.2in rectangular plate

• • save as "motorplate.ipt"

Step 2: Create a new assembly with the motor plate and high speed motor

• • Insert the motorplate.ipt and high speed motor

Step 3: Constrain the face of the motor to the plate

Step 4: Edit motorplate.ipt inside the assembly

• • Save your assembly as "motor assy.iam"

  • Close the motorplate.ipt that is open

  • Double click your motor plate in the model tree to edit it

    • everything else should now be transparent

Step 5: Sketch and Project Geometry

• Start new 2D sketch, and select the face of the motor plate

• Find the Project Geometry tool

• Select the important features: The two screw holes and the motor's bushing

Step 6: Cut out the Holes

• Finish Sketch

• Use the Extrude Tool, select the three holes, and cut them out.

Step 7: Explore your new Projected Geometry

• • Exit the part mode: in the model tree, double click your "motor assy.ism"

  • Notice how a red and blue refresh arrow appears next to your motor plate part

  • Your motor plate part is now adaptive, meaning that it will dynamically change.

  • right click the motor plate, and unchecked adaptive
