vgroove on a curved surface

vgroove on a curved surface

(OP)
One other question, if anyone can help.

I am making a round part that is tapered.  I need to make
8 v grooves along the tapered surface about 3/8 inch deep.  The vgrooves are along the axial axis.  Thanks in advance.

romanp,
One good way to learn SolidWorks, create a test parts and assemblies and drawings. Go thru each one using all icons to see what they do....in addition to the tutorials CBL suggested above.

I also suggest getting some training which will build a good solid foundation.  If you don't establish a good solid foundation you can expect nothing but problems and issues with your models.

RE: vgroove on a curved surface

Ooops! ... sorry just re-read you question ... "along the axial axis".

You need to create a plane perpendicular to the tapered edge,  sketch the v-groove onto that plane, then do a Cut-extrude.
