Wildfire tips-Remote access of Protrusion features

Hello friends,

This tips is about creating protrusion feature using common Datum plane which is far away from the place where we want them .


Please have a look at the below simple example part which has three default Datum planes and two protrusion features .
if you know the method used to make the second feature(cylinder), you will be surprised.....




How it is made?

Select "RIGHT" as Sketching plane and sketch a circle




In Depth option for side "1" select the surface as shown below


For side "2" select the surface as shown below and Select "Ok"


Now we will get feature as shown below without making any additional planes.



Using this method we can make "Cut features also" without making additional planes.
