    Thrust Plate for a Stub Shaft Bearing Assembly

    Sorry, I left out needed information. The pre-load on the spring will be minimal, just so that it will not be loose, about 1MM. Expected life minimum 2 years. Thanks!!

    Rotating Text For Extruding

    Maybe I am not understanding correctly, but if your sketch is set up with a construction line of a given radius, then place your text on the construction line. Then dimension that segment at an angle from horizontal,for example. You can then change the angle of that segment to rotate your text.

    F1 Plastics selection help

    Try Dupont super tough nylon. I believe it is called ST 801. This material has been used for sprokets, and was originally developed for automotive fasteners that were driven in with hammers.

    Sweep with a non-planar path

    The problem is self-intersection. You can convert the non-planer curve to a plane and use that as your path. Then use the non-planer composite curve as a guide curve. The outcome will be for-shortened dimensions in your profile. If this is a problem you can use a combinations of lofts and...

    Drafting a face with fillet

    You can model in corners and then add draft, if this is possible. Since the new corners will be children of the fillets no relationships will be distroyed, then add your draft and re-fillet.

    3D CAD Packages

    As "BOO 1" correctly stated your dimension should be the target number. The tolerance is what size of deviation on both the plus side and the minus side creates an accptable part. As far as how to show the tolerance formatted as you have asked depends on the cad system you use. I have...
