    Cross sections derived from splined object or surface

    The tolerances might not let me do the projection route. I've done that years ago scaling up a model. Worked ok. Coreblimey this is whats driving me nuts about this. SW should do this all by it self. It's fairly common. Had to wait for 07 for it to do curved flanges so if I wait till SW2020 it...

    Cross sections derived from splined object or surface

    This is beginning to smell of WORK!!! The horror!. I was hoping there was a way to auto dim a section on the dwgs and that it was just operator failure (me) not getting it right. On some of the complex shapes the cross sections would be taken about every 4 inches. I have a (bad)feeling that...

    Cross sections derived from splined object or surface

    You got it Smcadman. The lines going from the front to the back of the canoe would be the splines and I need to derive the side to side or cross section. The cross sections are then created out of say mdf wood, spaced on the Z per original and then that is skinned with foam or composite which is...

    Cross sections derived from splined object or surface

    Guess HELP! should go here ;-] I've been trying to muddle through this for a bit but so far no luck on a solution. The problem is that I need to generate drawing and templates from a splined derived object. The object might be something like a canoe or boat hull that has been shaped using...

    Weldment wonderment

    I've been creating weldment profiles and have run across something strange. I have various profiles of tubing square and round with differing wall thickness's. The Rounds seem all to work fine however the squares seem to fail about 50% of the time. When I go to apply it to my sketch it comes up...
