128. This video shows how to use sketch geometry (circles, construction lines, arcs) 
in a single sketch on top of the Feature manager Design Tree that will drive many 
of the subsequent features of the Meter Cap model.

129. This video shows how to start the Meter Cap using the extrude with a draft, 
cut with a draft and the Shell Feature. It also demonstrates how to use the Section 
Command to help facilitate modeling.

131. This video demonstrates how to start the base sketch on the Meter Base part 
using sketch geometry involving circles, arcs and center-lines. 
Back to the top



132. This video demonstrates how to use the base sketch of the Meter Base to 
Convert Entities and to use features using Select Contours and the up to next option.

133. This video demonstrates how to the Hole Wizard and Cosmetic Threads then 
apply these items with the Slot Cut in a Circular Pattern on the Meter Base. 
Back to the top



134. This video demonstrates on the Meter Base how to create a simple mounting 
tab with a Hole Wizard and a Linear Pattern. 
Back to the top



135. This video demonstrates how to put the Meter Base and Meter Cap into an 
assembly and the steps involved. It also describes how to use the toolbox to 
insert fasteners and how to select scenes and use the perspective view.
