How to make v-guided belt follow path?
(OP)
Trying to get belt on this unit pictured.
My belt profile is in the upper right hand of the drawing.. sketched in Paint.
How do I go about getting that profile to follow a path around the correct surfaces?
Thanks guys.

No file attached, and why not sketch in Inventor rather than Paint?
In fact, why not use Design Accelerator to create your belt?
RE: How to make v-guided belt follow path?
Also.. Im fairly new to Inventor and don't know much if anything about design accelerator.
Also.. I upload the picture and it says succesful.. wonder why it isnt showing up.
Thanks regardless, I'll look into design accelerator. "Sweep" can't possibly be the answer Im looking for.

For example: I get this piece of conveyor back... they want it lengthened by 2'. I now have to delete this belt and go through sweep/project geometry all over again as opposed to it updating the path automatically. It's not that it's going to take extra crucial time, but I was looking for a more precise way to measure the inside loop of the belt. That's really what I'm looking for.
Thanks for all your help. much appreciated.

You are doing too much work. The problem can be set up to update automatically. I would suggest more training. Particularly you will want information on skeletal modeling techniques and top-down modeling techniques.

Every once in a while the voices in my head have good ideas.
