Hi, I am having a problem importing a file I recieved from a client. He said the file was created in CADKEY and the *.prt extension makes me believe him. However, when I try to open the file in SW I get a 3D sketch and a 2D sketch, the 2D sketch has most of the part shape but almost anything...

Thanks for all your help, I think I have the issue resolved now. I had to remove the third profile from this loft and do some tweaking to my guide curves and connectors. It looks much better now. I really appreciate all your help. Jesse

I have to apologize, I was in a hurry to get the thread off before a meeting and I forgot to include that the 0.9x0.6 inch rectangle is on the x-z plane, which adds a bit of complexity for me. This pic will hopefully give you an idea of what I'm trying to do. The skew is visible as an...

Hi all, I am working on a part right now and am currently using a loft to accomplish my goal but the result is skewed. The situation is I am lofting from a 1.25x1.25 inch square with 0.3 inch filleted corners on the x-y plane. I move about 3 inches along the x-axis, 2 inches along the y-axis...

Thanks a lot, I keep forgetting about lofts because I get so wrapped up in swept features. The loft worked flawlessly.

Hi, I am working on a part involving a move from a 1x0.68 inch rectangle in the x-y plane to a .75x.47 inch rectangle in the x-z plane. I've done this on a couple of other parts where I sketch the profile of the first rectangle and use 3D splines to sketch a path from center and guide curves...

I will try to extrude the part. The reason I wanted to wrap the flat part is because I have the flat drawing already as we were working with parts on a waterjet. The lower piece consists of a series of arcs and where I am having a difficult time is in converting the arcs from the flat pattern...

Here is the link to a photo of the finished part. The side is a continuous part that I would like to wrap around the top. This gives an idea of the profile that I am trying to match. https://www.klockwerkscycles.com/parts/index.php?id=46&pg=Bagger Thanks CorBlimeyLimey for your quick response...

Hello, I am a mechanical engineer but am relatively new to SW. I learned most of my CAD skills on PRO-E. However, I am currently stumped on how to approach a modeling problem. We were previously cutting two pieces out of 18 ga steel and, using a custom template, the two pieces would be bent...
