Swept Cut in an assembly
Swept Cut in an assembly
(OP)
Hello all,
First time posting here. I've got an assembly that I need to make a profiled cut on a flat surface (think of using a mill to cut a pattern no a surface). I need to include a radius at the bottom of this cut. Problem is, 'Swept Cut' is not available when you're in an assembly. Mind you, I'm not trying to add any material to the assembly, just trying to add a radius to the profile of the cut.
I did a search for 'Swept Cut' in assemblies, and found this closed thread: thread559-107328 (from a while back), but no real solution.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!!!

Be careful though, if you create the assembly sketch with relations to parts, but then edit the parts and cut places you used for the relations, you have essentially created circular refs.

This is essecially like performing a boolean subtract in assembly mode but without consuming the body it referenced, so just hide the sweep when your through.

We came to the same conclusion as CorBlimeyLimey: used a series of Extrude-Cuts & Revolve-Cuts. Ended up creating five features (1 Plane & 4 Cuts) to get the job done.
