Wrap Deboss
(OP)
How do you wrap a sketch and have it cut through with out a tappered hole?
I have a pipe I need to place a cam-lock onto. The cut needs to be straight. I have done this before SW2006 but I am banging my head trying to figure out how to do it again.
The slot starts at 90 degree then goes vertical, then around the pipe about 30 degree and then vertical again out through the end of the pipe.
I have created sketchs on both the 90 plane and the 30 plane and tried to wrap them. But I can not get the cut to go straight through, it is always tappered.

An alternative may be to use a sweep.

RE: Wrap Deboss
I tried a few things too but so far none are easier than a sweep--defeats the purpose. I'm not sure there is an easy way to do this since you want the midline to cut radially but the lines on either side parallel to the midline direction--though it certainly isn't a difficult concept, solidworks would need more information like a guide curve to define the midline. I can't even think of a feature that asks for that.
