27. A mechanical designer is creating a six-legged walking robot meant to carry remote scanning equipment through rough terrain. Each leg should be able to individually articulate for balance and mobility.

To complete the legs on the design, the mechanical designer constrains one set of leg components together. The mechanical designer then patterns the legs on one side and mirrors the legs across to the opposite side.

When testing the design, however, the mechanical designer notices that all six legs are not moving independently.

Which method can the mechanical designer use to remedy this problem and make all six legs articulate separately?

After patterning and mirroring, the mechanical designer needs to make each copy in the pattern independent so they can articulate separately.
Rather than mirror the three patterned legs to the opposite side, the mechanical designer should copy and paste the pattern to the other side.
Constrain one set of leg components. Then copy and paste that set of leg components, constraining five more sets to the remaining locations.
After patterning and mirroring, the mechanical designer should demote each set of leg components into a separate subassembly.

After deleting Fillet1, what is the proper workflow to ensure the inner and outer spoke edges retain a curved intersection?

Create Fillets to edges before Pattern1 and include selection
Create Fillets to edges within Sketch1
Apply variable radius Fillets to edges
Apply associative Fillets to edges

A mechanical designer has a multi-body sheet metal model of a drawer cabinet. The drawer is controlled through parameters that are driven with User Parameters, that also control the depth and width of the cabinet.

The design needs to have the ability to change size, both the depth and width can be changed independently based on customer need.The current dimensional relationship between the two User Parameters Cabinet_Depth and DrawerBox_Depth along with the relationship between the User Parameters Cabinet_Width and Drawer_Opening, needs to be maintained.

As the cabinet width changes the drawer opening will change with it, along with the depth of the drawer with the cabinet depth.

Which two expressions does the mechanical designer need to enter for User Parameters DrawerBox_Depth and Drawer_Opening, so when the Cabinet_Depth or Cabinet_Width are changed they maintain the correct dimensional relationship?

DrawerBox_Depth = Cabinet_Height -DrawerFace_Depth & Drawer_Opening = Cabinet_Depth - SideSpace_3634 * 2
DrawerBox_Depth = Cabinet_Depth -DrawerFace_Depth & Drawer_Opening = Cabinet_Depth - SideSpace_3634
DrawerBox_Depth = Cabinet_Depth -3 in & Drawer_Opening = Cabinet_Width -5.125 in
DrawerBox_Depth = Cabinet_Height -3 in & Drawer_Opening = Cabinet_Depth -5.125 in
