• Contains all of the parts of your model
• Contains a history of how they were made
• Can group objects by clicking top-level object, select Create Group… a folder appears, then drop objects into these folders. Can show/hide by select a group and pressing space bar

• Click an object, then a property window comes open that can be modified. The particular properties that appear are specific to the object selected.

• Draft - Makes draft objects(?)
• Part Design - Builds parts from parametric sketches. A “Main” work bench, offering great control, constraint-based
• Part - Making CAD parts. An older work bench, has primitives like cube and cone.

Tools here can draw right into the 3-D space.

Construction Tools

Items drawn when “Construction” is on, end up in a special Construction folder which can be hidden with space bar. For example, draw something in Construction, align things to it, then turn off the Construction object.

Constraints (in Draft Workbench)

Can lock down the coordinates and other properties. Can press X, or Y to constrain, or shift.

Snaps (in Draft Workbench)

Use some of the Snap tools. (Green icons.)
