Cable Cleat size Changing without affect the Design

[Selva_Ganapathy]

The original size of the cable cleat in my project requires me to modify it without affecting the design. help me with Step by Step workout.

Im not exactly sure what you need, but if i had to guess, I would guess you need the design to meet the dimensions in red without changing the shape of the design?

When moving things initially, it looks like you are going to have interferences between your cleat and the OD of the fastener. The new dimensions may not be possible with your design.

Insufficient information provided. 

"...modify it without affecting the design." 

Define 'the design' - it's clamping cable - so why do the outside dimensions need to change? Is it due to clear space needed when pulling a cable?  Is it because the stud, nuts, and washers protrude too far?  What are the critical dimensions?

Might you just mill 3 mm from each side (washer seats) after moving the fastener hole?

Hi  @TheCADnoob @Washingtonn 

Here I attached the Size requirements for Cable Cleat...please draw and show me...how to modify it.

[TheCADnoob · Accepted solution]

It can be modified with a few simple steps. 

First I set up some construction lines, then I exploded the block and then moved and scaled some of the items and drew in the missing parts. 

Commands I used are (not in order)

COPY

LINE

CIRCLE

MOVE

EXPLODE

SCALE (use reference to scale to the circle diameter)

TRIM

Use OSNAPS and POLAR TRACKING as well.

It looks like you are trying to generate one part from a part family using a generalized drawing indicating some dimensions. If you need something detailed, get an actual part and measure it since the tabular information does not include fin information, alignment stud, or the size of gap (based on cable diameter).

@TheCADnoob  demonstrates what to do if you only need one view and exact dimensions are not required.

Next time provide the information with your initial post - include 3D pictures (such as the one below taken from the website).
