Groove function

Groove function

Groove function

(OP)
Hello,

im trying to make a rectangular groove in a cylinder. it seems that you can not measure the distance between a face and the groove itself, is there a way to do this? the groove i try to create just appears on the spot where i clicked my mouse, that doesnt seem right to me.

any suggestions or someone knows how to achieve this?

Best regards,

RE: Groove function

Mine grays out also.  at this point it is asking you to select the tool edge.  Now you need to select either edge of the groove or the groove centerline.

general tip using this old features and the feature placement command is to use the static wireframe display - some information is hidden from shading
