Helical sweep cut...need help

[Vivek B]

Hi all,


I have done all procedures correctly...I have got the axis,traj,pitch,section everything defined but at last it shows the message "Could not intersect part with feature" .

What could be the problem?...I have done helical sweep protrusions but that worked properly...What about this Helical sweep cut?

Hello Vivek,


As the feature is not working in your model, it only suggests that everything is NOT done correctly. Please upload the zipped model and then any technical comments can be made.

would you like to post your part so I can check and see what is the problem??

Hi pals,


Actually the part is nothing but a circle extruded to some length...I just wanted to try it out...thats all...could you guys tell me what could be the reason for such a message :"Could not intersect part with feature" ...From that one you can make out the mistake I might have done..right?


I appreciate your time...Thanks for the replies

vivek if you can't make a cut then i suggest you to make a surface helical sweet instead and then solidfy(cut) it.


i hope you have seen the drill bit tutorial.

I am attaching a sample file for your reference. Compare it with your model and try to find the reason for failure.

Vivek - you need to make sure that the cut sketch is extended beyond your cylinder and not on the edge. Pro-e has a problem with that. Try that and see if it changes your results.

Ya...I got it buddy

....the problem ws with the pitch value and the section size which made it to intersect...anyways its solved...


Thanks to all my friends who came out hereto help me...
