  1. Click Ruled Plate System Command to display the Ruled Plate System Ribbon.

  2. Click First Curve Definition .

  3. Click Sketch Curve .

  4. Specify the sketching plane for the curve using one of the following methods:

    Define a coincident plane
    Define an offset plane
    Define a plane using a point and a normal vector
    Define a plane using three points

  5. Click Add Intersecting Item .

  6. Select objects in the model that intersect the sketching plane that you want to use as reference geometry. These extra objects appear in the Sketch 2D environment.

  7. Click Add Projection Item .

  8. Select objects in the model that do not intersect the sketching plane that you want to use as reference geometry. These extra objects are projected onto the sketching plane and appear in the Sketch 2D environment.

  9. Click Sketch 2D .

  10. In the Sketch 2D environment, sketch the first curve for the ruled plate system.

  11. Click Finish in the Sketch 2D environment.

  12. Click Second Curve Definition .

  13. Click Sketch Curve .

  14. Specify the sketching plane for the second curve using one of the following methods:

    Define a coincident plane
    Define an offset plane
    Define a plane using a point and a normal vector
    Define a plane using three points

  15. Click Add Intersecting Item .

  16. Select objects in the model that intersect the sketching plane that you want to use as reference geometry. These extra objects appear in the Sketch 2D environment.

  17. Click Add Projection Item .

  18. Select objects in the model that do not intersect the sketching plane that you want to use as reference geometry. These extra objects are projected onto the sketching plane and appear in the Sketch 2D environment.

  19. Click Sketch 2D .

  20. In the Sketch 2D environment, sketch the second curve for the ruled plate system.

  21. Click Finish in the Sketch 2D environment.

  22. Click Define Boundaries .

  23. Define the ruled plate system boundaries using one or more of the following methods:

    Pick boundaries
    Define a boundary curve

  24. Click Accept .

  25. If the boundary definition results in more than one solution, you must select bounded areas that together compose the total bounded area. Pick the needed solutions using the following procedure:

    Solve ambiguous boundaries

  26. Set the remaining plate system properties.

  27. Click Finish.
