Cannot locate Draw tab and Equation Curve Command.

Anonymous — Fri, 28 Apr 2017 16:29:37 GMT

I am hoping to learn how to plot functions in Inventor 2015.
Therefore, I am trying to create an equation curve. When I look at
directions to do this, they all say to "Start the Equation Curve
command" within the Draw tab. I do not have that tab and therefore
can not find that command. Where is it located? THANKS IN ADVANCE!

The draw tab is shown in the sketch environment in a part or assembly file.

When I click to create a sketch, I do not have a Draw Tab, I have a Create Tab.

Thanks

I don't have a copy of 2015 to check, but have you tried the dropdown arrow under the "Line" command or the one under the "Create" tab?

It's under "Line" drop-down

Keep in mind that you are in a 2D sketch.

Of course if you want a 3D equation curve then start a 3D sketch.
