i have imported model from iges, and its surface with some rounds...and i want to draft some surface..how to solve it?? as far as i know..we cant make draft with rounded model...
I don't believe there is an elegant solution for this. If I'm really stuck in this situation I first insult the person that modeled the part in Solidworks, then I just start cutting away the original material and filling it back in so the it can be drafted before the rounds go in. Of course this is not only practical if the part is too complex. Another possiblity is using the chamfer tool to put a draft on the surface. You'll have to work out the trigonometry to get the proper D1 X D2 lengths, but this has gotten me out of a bind once or twice.
