Hi,
I am attempting to create a part/drawing in Pro/E based on an
AutoCAD drawing. The part has 20+ holes and half holes around its OD.
It's quite easy to model the holes using a table pattern (patterning the
diameter, angle to front plane, and distance from end of part).
However,
to show this in a drawing is another matter altogether. Rather than
have 12 cross sections to show where every hole is located, the AutoCAD
drawing had what is referred to as a "circumferential layout". It has
the OD of the cylinder "unwrapped" and the geometry is shown using the
same 3 dimensions (diameter, angle to front plane, and distance from end
of part).
To do this in Pro/E using the methods I am familiar with presents a few problems:
-
if I draw a sketch, wrap, and cut into the cylinder with it, it's
awkward because my sketch covers 360
