Draft
Draft
(OP)
I've just noticed something regarding draft that I haven't noticed before, but to be honest I don't use the draft feature very often. Say you have a sketch consisting of two concentric circles. Then you want to extrude a boss with the draft feature enabled (to make a funnel). The two circles draft in opposite directions regardless of whether you draft inward or outward. Take a look at the pic. Same thing happens if your sketch is a single circle, and you try the thin feature option. So my question is: Is this the intended function or is this a bug? I'm using 2010sp0.






RE: Draft
You can get what you want by extruding the feature without draft, then using the Draft feature to go back in and draft surfaces individually--in each direction you desire.
It would be nice to have a "Draft Parallel" option available for selection, but not necessary.
