Presentation

Below is a layout defined in GO2cam with some of the functionalities of the Layout Drafting module:

  • Texts (such as ‘Chamfers with no dimension: 1 x 1’)

  • Dimensions (linear and axial dimensions)

  • Annotations (such as ‘4x Drilling d5 x 20’)

  • Tolerances (shape, orientation, position and run-out tolerances)

  • Images (import of the logo)

  • Title Block (creation and settings)
