The last post in this Inventor Tutorial left us with some brackets protruding into our fancy schmancy highfalutin new arches. We need to fix this artistic insult by finding the smaller of the two reference dimensions we placed in the last post in this blogtorial series, Inventor Tutorial – Shaker Table Arched Apron Option 2 –then, we’ll write some iLogic code to configure things (nearly) effortlessly.
