    Fusion 360 Sheetmetal fill gaps and unfold

    Good afternoon. See attached image. I need to unfold my sheet metal model; however, there are gaps between the plates (as shown in the attached image). What is the best way to fill these gaps and then determine a 2D sketch which I may use to assemble the model. For more clarity, I'm attempting...

    Create TORX pocket in part.

    I need to create a a pocket in a part that will allow a TORX T45R. Is there an easy way to make this 6-star shape?

    Is there a way to view all drawings and assemblies attached to a specific part?

    I have a part and need to know all files using it for reference, such as drawings and assemblies. Thank you.

    Move individual body in part

    I have a part with 2 separate bodies. How can I move one of those bodies? My goal is to move one of these bodies closer to the other. Placement and dragging of the xyz-plane tool does not work. Thank you.

    Catia20, Decreasing length of model by removing volume

    I need to decrease the overall length of a bracket. I want to do this by removing a 1.5mm long section which is in the center of the bracket. Is there a way to do this?http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=2339bb56-6eb2-4cab-b745-0660605d53c7&file=Bracket_Example_Paint_Picture.png

    Sketch with a sectioned model.

    Catia V5. I want to make a sketch on the inside of a part. I already have the plane I need. Is there a way to hide everything on one side of the plane while sketching?

    Loft using non-planar, not closed curves

    itsmyjob It all worked. The first time I did not select what surfaces to be tangent to. Now everything is perfect. Arigatōgozaimash! Hai meiyo!

    Loft using non-planar, not closed curves

    Catia V5 R20 I am trying to create a surface using non-planar and not closed curves, as seen in the attached file. I need to know 1. how to close the curves, 2. make the curves planar in such a way as to not greatly affect the design OR 3. how to create a surface in the same spot, a surface...

    Using 2 points to callout a hole.

    KENAT, That is an excellent idea, and I am in fact using a "CAD IS MASTER" note. However, I still would like to callout (in some way) the hole feature. Thank you for the suggestion.

    Using 2 points to callout a hole.

    Wise guy, ay? TheTick, Yes, an auxiliary or section view, except - for the third time - the surface normal to the feature has been drafted multiple times and is no longer perpendicular to any axis; so I'm having trouble creating a view normal to this surface. And I would have released images of...

    Using 2 points to callout a hole.

    CheckerHater, I want to know the correct GD&T or traditional way to properly detail this hole feature in a drawing. So it is about GD&T. drawoh, As of right now, we plan on molding the part - hence the multiple drafts. All I need to know is how to callout a hole feature that is normal to a...

    Using 2 points to callout a hole.

    I am detailing a part that has a face that has been drafted multiple times (using the 'draft' command in Catia). I want to callout a hole that is normal to this drafted face, but I do not know how as I cannot create a view that is perpendicular to any of the axis established by my datums. I...

    Catia v5 only one arrow when dimensioning

    itsmyjob, That is the solution. Thank you.
