Workbench Fixture Builder

Designing a fixture is a process of only a few steps. With the use of (predefined) dimensions and other parameters the global shape will be specified. Followed by a few 3D interactions the fixture is then created. Finally the fixture is saved as a resource type document.

The function toolbar, that is placed at the left side in the 3D View, has a group of commands to create a fixture and to nest the plates on a sheet for manufacturing. Stepping top down in this toolbar is a guide line to create a new fixture from scratch.

The dashboard toolbar, that is placed at the right side in the 3D View, includes two commands for advanced editing of the fixture and nesting.
