- Activate the command: Select Obround tool from the toolbar.
- Specify starting point: Click the starting point for the obround.
- Set radius: Enter the radius for the rounded ends.
- Set length: Enter the distance (length) of the straight portion.
Complete shape: IGEMS automatically creates the complete obround contour.
🧠Tips
- Automatic contour: Creates the complete outline automatically from simple inputs.
- Mechanical applications: Common for slots, elongated holes, and mechanical features.
- Radius consistency: Both rounded ends use the same radius value.
- Single operation: Creates the entire shape in one command operation.
