Define Custom Properties for Material and Surface
Finish in the GUIDE part. Return to the GUIDE
drawing to complete the Title block. The design team
decided that the GUIDE part would be fabricated from
304 Stainless Steel. There are numerous types of
Stainless steels for various applications. Select the
correct material for the application. This is critical!
AISI 304 was set in the part. Open the GUIDE part and create the Material Custom
Property. The AISI 304 value propagates to the drawing. Surface Finish is another
important property in machining. The GUIDE utilizes an all around 0.80μm high grade
machined finish. The numerical value refers to the roughness height of the machined
material. Surface finish adds cost and time to the part. Work with the manufacturer to
specify the correct part finish for your application.
