wrap sketch around cylinder

[rmetzger]

I'm trying to find a way to take a sketch or thin extrusion and wrap it into a cylinder. The finished result would be similar to the way a wrapper fits around a cylindrical can. Any ideas?

There is a specific feature for that in SW 2005 called Wrap. Check it out.

You can wrap a sketch around a cylinder using the voila !!!"Wrap"!!! feature, introduced in 2004. This then does an Emboss/Deboss/Split face operation.
