I'm working in a part drawing, my problem was in moving and extruding a spline derived from a surface with compound curvature. I've sorted the problem by creating a circle on a new front plane and extruding and trimming that.
I'll try and explain a bit better. Im trying to move a converted entity closer to the camera body, (a spline which was originally a circle projected onto a curved surface as a split line) along the z axis. As the spline sits, it is too far from the camera body and so the extrusion will be too...
I'm working in 3-D, modelling a digital camera. I used convert entity for the circular lens after I cut the hole for it, and needed to move the circle back out along z to extrude it from that new point. I tried to make a plane in the area and the face I needed to model it on, but so far can't...
Thanks for the solution.
I've been through the tutorials a couple of times, but I still couldn't find a solution. I guess it's getting out of the mindset of using Alias, which is set up very differently to Solidworks (eg: x-form uses left, middle and right mouse buttons for movement, rotation...
I'm a new user to solidworks. I'm trying to move a sketch along the z axis, which I can't do. For example, when I use the convert entities button for a circle on a trimmed surface, the new circle is placed where the original surface was before it was trimmed. I need to know how to move this...
