ii. Select “Standard .ipt” from dialogue box by double clicking on the icon.
iii. Select a Shape tool from toolbar. The shape that you choose will depend on what type of shape you are drawing. For this exercise choose Rectangle.


iv. To create the selected shape put your cursor in the grid area. You will notice that your cursor turns to a cross-hair. Click ONCE and release in the gridded area and drag your cursor to create a rectangle. Click again to create the shape.

e. Before you make your two dimension shape three dimensions you need to make sure the shape has the correct dimensions. To do this you will need to select the “Dimension” tool.

f. When you select this tool you will need to:
i. Select two opposite sides of your object. To do this you will select (by clicking once) the top of your rectangle and then going to the bottom of the rectangle and clicking again.
ii. This will give you the dimension of the object.
iii. To change the dimension you simply click or double click on the provided dimension.
iv. When this is done a dialogue box will appear where you can change the dimension. See picture below.
v. Make your shape 2in. by 2in.

To dimension the width repeat step f by selecting the vertical sides.
g. To make your sketch a three dimensional object you will select the “Finish Sketch” button on the tool bar – It has a large green check mark above the words.



Once this button is pushed your screen will change. You no longer will have the ability to alter your sketch. If you need to alter your sketch you will need to select sketch in the browser bar this will take you back to sketch mode.

If you do not need to alter your sketch you can make it a three dimensional shape by selecting the “Extrude” button on the toolbar.


After selecting “Extrude” you will see this dialogue box.


To make your object three dimensional you need to select the distance that you want the depth of the object to be. To do this you need to select your distance and then select enter. This will extrude your object to the dimension you chose. After you select “OK” your screen will look like this.
Make this dimension 2in.


Congratulations! You have now completed a three dimensional drawing!
