# Prompt library

Adapt the numbers and the references.

## Editing geometry

**Make the wall 3 mm thicker**

Finds the driving dimension or shell feature and rebuilds everything downstream of it.

**Add a 6 mm counterbored hole pattern on a 40 mm bolt circle**

Hole Wizard feature on your configured standard, plus the circular pattern that places it.

**Fillet all sharp edges on this face at 2 mm**

One fillet feature covering the qualifying edge set, not one per edge.

**Pattern this rib eight times around the axis**

Circular pattern from the selected feature and axis.

**Change the material to 6061-T6 and report the new mass**

Applies the library material and returns updated mass properties.

**Apply this same edit to every configuration in the part**

Applies the same edit to every configuration in the part.

## Drawings and documentation

**Make a drawing of this part on our B-size title block**

New sheet, views placed and scaled, features dimensioned, title block filled from model properties.

**Add an isometric and a section through the bore**

Places the isometric and cuts the section on the correct plane, dimensioning what it exposes.

**Drawings for every part in this assembly**

One sheet per part plus the assembly drawing, each saved next to its model.

**Insert the BOM and balloon the components**

BOM from the assembly structure in your column format, balloons matched to item numbers.

## Questions and analysis

**Why did this feature fail to rebuild?**

Reads the failing feature and its parents and explains the specific cause.

**What is going to make this part expensive to machine?**

Lists the cost-driving geometry, worst first.

**Which tolerances here are tighter than they need to be?**

Flags each tolerance that is tighter than its fit or assembly requires.

**What would switching to 6061 change?**

Recomputes mass and cost implications of the substitution.

## Finding components

**Add M6 socket head cap screws to these four holes**

Sizes the fastener to the hole, sources it from Toolbox, inserts it and mates it concentric and coincident.

**Use the screw at this path instead of Toolbox**

Pins the fastener source to the company part you named rather than letting it choose.

**Insert this component and mirror it across the right plane**

Inserts the part you point at, then adds a Mirror Components feature across the plane you named.
