2. On this 3point UCS construct a 2D drawing of the plate to the dimensions
given in Fig. 17.19, using the Polyline , Ellipse and Circle tools.
3. Save the UCS plane in the UCS dialog to the name 3point .
4. Place the drawing area in the ViewCube/Isometric view ( Fig. 17.20 ).
5. Make the layer Red current.
6. With the Region tool form regions of the 6 parts of the drawing and
with the Subtract tool, subtract the circles and ellipse from the main
outline.
7. Place in the View/Visual Style/Realistic visual style. Extrude the
