Undercut Help
(OP)
I need to undercut a shaft where it mates with the head. Is there an easy way to insert these undercuts or do I have to model each one.
In my MDT6 I could just insert an undercut to whatever standards I had loaded eg. DIN, ISO etc.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

RE: Undercut Help
I'm trying to undercut a 'shoulder', the point where one shaft diameter meets another on a turned part. This is common when one shaft diameter needs to be ground to achieve a surface finish or close tolerance, where a thread is present or for a bearing journal.
I hope this explains it a little better

The simplest way is probably to do an extrude-cut using the face of the larger dia as the sketch plane, and use the edge of the smaller dia to offset a circle.

RE: Undercut Help
Up to now I have created it during the sketch as CorBlimeyLimey suggests, but as I have a large number of shafts with different undercut forms I was looking to see if anything was built into SW that I didn't know was there to automate these.
I will try all your suggestions and see which works the best for me
Thanks again all
