Specify center point of base or [Edge/Sides]: type in S on your keyboard then press <enter>.

      5. Enter number of sides [4]: type in 6 then press <enter>.

      6. Specify center point of base or [Edge/Sides]: type in 0,0,0 then press <enter> (P1).

      7. Specify base radius or [Inscribed]: type in I (for Inscribed) then press <enter>.

      8. Specify base radius or [Circumscribed]: type in 1.4 [35.56] then press <enter>.

      9. Move your mouse up. (For Z+ position.)

      10. Specify height or [2Point/Axis endpoint/Top radius]: type in 4 [101.6] then press <enter> (P2).

      A solid Pyramid with 6 sides has been created with the base inscribed within a radius of 1.4” [35.56 mm], and a height of 4” [101.6 mm]. And with a start position of X0, Y0, Z0 at the center of the Pyramid.

      Note: You can also create a truncated Pyramid, which has a flat top parallel to the base. (Refer to page 1-14.)

      There are various methods you can use to create a Solid Wedge. The information you have for the size and position of the Wedge will determine the method you use to create it.

      Note: The sizes shown in brackets [...] are for metric users. Enter the numbers without the brackets. For example, [12.7] just enter 12.7

       Method 1 – Using a start position, diagonal corner position and height of the Wedge.

      1. Start a new drawing file by selecting either acad.dwt for inch users, or acadiso.dwt for metric users.

      2. Select the SE Isometric view.

      3. Select the Wedge tool.

      4. Specify first corner or [Center]: type in 0,0,0 on your keyboard then press <enter> (P1). (You can also place the cursor in any position and then left click with your mouse.)

      5. Move your mouse down and to the right. (For X+ and Y+ positions.)

      6. Specify other corner or [Cube/Length]: type in 3.5,2.5 [88.9,63.5] then press <enter> (P2). (You can also place the cursor in any position and then left click with your mouse.)

      7. Move your mouse up. (For Z+ position.)

      8. Specify height or [2Point]: type in 2.5 [63.5] then press <enter> (P3).

      A solid Wedge has been created with a length (X+ Axis) of 3.5” [88.9 mm], a width (Y+ Axis) of 2.5” [63.5 mm], and a height (Z+ Axis) of 2.5” [63.5 mm]. And with a start position of X0, Y0, Z0.

       Method 2 – Using a start position, length, width and height of the Wedge.

      1. Start a new drawing file by selecting either acad.dwt for inch users, or acadiso.dwt for metric users.

      2. Select the SE Isometric view.

      3. Select the Wedge tool.

      4. Specify first corner or [Center]: type in 0,0,0 on your keyboard then press <enter> (P1). (You can also place the cursor in any position and then left click with your mouse.)

      5. Move your mouse down and to the right. (For X+ and Y+ positions.)

      6. Specify other corner or [Cube/Length]: type in L (for Length) then press <enter>.

      Note: When using the Length method, make sure Ortho Mode is turned on by pressing F8 on your keyboard or by selecting the Ortho icon on the Status Bar. This constrains the cursor to just horizontal and vertical movements.

      7. Specify length: type in 3.937 [100] then press <enter>.

      8. Specify width: type in 1.968 [50] then press <enter>.

      9. Move your mouse up. (For Z+ position.)

      10. Specify height or [2Point]: type in 1.968 [50] then press <enter> (P2).

      A solid Wedge has been created with a length (X+ Axis) of 3.937” [100 mm], a width (Y+ Axis) of 1.968” [50 mm], and a height (Z+ Axis) of 1.968” [50 mm]. And with a start position of X0, Y0, Z0.

       Method 3 – Using a start position, with the length, width and height of the Wedge all having the same dimensions.

      1. Start a new drawing file by selecting either acad.dwt for inch users, or acadiso.dwt for metric users.

      2. Select the SE Isometric view.

      3. Select the Wedge tool.

      4. Specify first corner or [Center]: type in 0,0,0 on your keyboard then press <enter> (P1). (You can also place the cursor in any position and then left click with your mouse.)

      5. Move your mouse to the right. (For X+ , Y+ and Z+ positions.)

      6. Specify other corner or [Cube/Length]: type in C then press <enter>.

      7. Specify length: type in 2.953 [75] then press <enter>.

      A solid Wedge has been created with a length (X+ Axis) of 2.953” [75 mm], a width (Y+ Axis) of 2.953” [75 mm], and a height (Z+ Axis) of 2.953” [75 mm] And with a start position of X0, Y0, Z0.

       Method 4 – Using the center position of the Wedge, a corner position and height.

      1. Start a new drawing file by selecting either acad.dwt for inch users, or acadiso.dwt for metric users.

      2. Select the SE Isometric view.

      3. Select the Wedge tool.

      4. Specify first corner or [Center]: type in C then press <enter>.

      5. Specify center: type in 0,0,0 on your keyboard then press <enter> (P1). (You can also place the cursor in any position and then left click with your mouse.)

      6. Move your mouse to the right.

      7. Specify corner or [Cube/Length]: type in 3,3,1.5 [76.2,76.2,38.1] then press <enter>.

      A solid Wedge has been created with an overall length of 6” [152.4 mm], an overall width of 6” [152.4 mm], and an overall height of 3” [76.2 mm]. And with a start position of X0, Y0, Z0 at the center of the Wedge.
