Description
Extras
(Extra
Plate selection) ? Sets the type of extra plate. Creates plates
parallel to the base plate in a direction aligned with the base plate.
None ? Creates
no extra plates.
Full ? Creates
a full plate with a hole the size of the extents of the selected shape.
Note: When
Width is set to
0, creates a circular plate.
Vertical ?
Creates two plates in a direction parallel to the width of the base plate. One
plate is created each side of the selected shape.
Note:Length
and
Width represent the extents of
these two plates not the individual plate sizes.
Horizontal ?
Creates two plates in a direction parallel to the length of the base plate. One
plate is created each side of the selected shape.
Note:Length
and
Width represent the extents of
these two plates not the individual plate sizes.
Both ? Creates
both horizontal and vertical plates, totaling four plates.
Length ? Sets
the dimension of the extents of the plates in a direction parallel to the width
of the base plate. A positive value determines the length. A negative value is
not permitted. The default is 400 or 16 depending on the units setting.
Width ? Sets
the dimension of the extents of the plates in a direction parallel to the
length of the base plate. A positive value determines the width. A negative
value is not permitted. The default is 400 or 16 depending on the units
setting.
Thickness ?
Sets the gusset plate thickness. A positive value determines the thickness. A
negative value of value of 0 is not permitted. The default is 8 or 0.25

weld chamfer on the plate. A positive value determines the chamfer size. A
negative value is not permitted. A value of 0 for either Chamfer Horz. or
Chamfer Vert. indicates no chamfer is to be created. The default is 5 or 0.25
depending on the units setting.
