Groove around cylinder but not on plane
Groove around cylinder but not on plane
(OP)
Newbie here.
Tried relentlessly yesterday to make a groove at an angle around a cylinder like the extruded in the attachment. I can see where the contact point of a ball end groove will need to change as it orbits around the cylinder. I'm just playing with this to see if it can be done.
Thanks for the advice.

If so, maybe something like this would work (NX6 file).

Thanks Cowski

Thanks for the advice. I was not aware you could subtract after a feature had been added. I just subtracted from my original model, worked like a charm.
