End cut geometry is constrained to bounding part geometry. Bounding part geometry can be idealized geometry. It can also be profile symbol geometry, where the profile names referenced in the end cut symbol match the edge names in the corresponding profile symbol. To assure this match, copy the profile geometry from the profile symbol file into the slot symbol file.

In the example, profile symbol geometry is used for the web cut, and an idealized boundary is used for the flange cut.

Web Cut

  1. With the end cut symbol file already open, start a second session of 2D Symbols.

  2. Click File > Open to open the profile file.

  3. Select the group containing the profile cross-section contour, and click Edit > Copy.

  4. Go back to the slot symbol file, and click Edit > Paste. The profile group appears in the slot symbol file graphics window.

  5. With the profile group selected, click Change Layer on the Layer toolbar. In the dialog box, select the Inputs layer, and click OK.

    • If the copied profile group was on a layer not contained in the symbol file, that layer is also copied to the file. To delete it, click Tools > Delete layer.

    • If the web of the bounding part is parallel to the web of the bounded part, then the bounding part is represented by a series of lines like those used for the bounded part, with the same edge names.

    • If the symbol is to be used for a bounding part that is either a plate or a profile, then a single line with the edge name Idealized_Boundary is placed.

  6. Lock all bounding part geometry using Lock .

Flange Cut

  1. On the Inputs layer, sketch a single B-spline curve to represent the bounding part.
