Creating a Surface Texture Symbol

This section explains how to create a surface texture symbol in a drawing using CAXA Draft.

Procedure:

[1] Click [Surface Finish] in the [Annotation] tab.


[2] Select an edge or dimension extension line on the projection view.

[3] Change Item 1 on the status bar to Standard Annotation.


[4] The Surface Texture Symbol dialog box will appear.
  1. Select the symbol type from the [Standard Symbol] section.
  2. Specify or enter the desired surface roughness value.

[5] Click [OK].
