Constraining a line to the edge of the model
Constraining a line to the edge of the model
(OP)
Hi,
I'm unable to constrain a line to be colinier to the edge of a cylinder previously extruded even after trying the different filters.
Even (in drafting enviornment) while inserting the base view the cylinder (side view --> circular end), entered the Active sketch mode and drew a cirlce. I can't set this sketched circular profile to be concentric with the cirular edge of the cylinder.
Thanx,
Gokulkrishna Goli

Also, your image does not provide enough information for me to tell exactly what it is that you're attempting to do. Please either provide the actual model or a MUCH better picture of what you're trying to do.

RE: Constraining a line to the edge of the model
Please find the model. When we edit the sketch 2, the line 1 should be collinear with the edge marked in red(attached snap) and line 2 should be collinear with the edge marked in green.
Also if you enter the drafting enviornment of this particular model, I drew a arc and made it concentric with the circular edge of the cylinder. Now how to make these two curves coincident.
I want to show a no stampimg zone my drawing, please see the attached snap untitled 2.

Then in the Sketch in the Drawing I projected the edge of the cylinder into the sketch and then constrained it to pass through that same point as above. Then I constrained your arc segment to have the same radius as the projected arc. I then created an offset curve plus two additional curves to define your 'no stamping zone'.

RE: Constraining a line to the edge of the model
Your approach is working fine till I have a single file for both the model and the drawing. But when I make a seperate file for the drawing and then link it to the model this intersection point is not visible.
We have to prepare seperate drawing files as there will be 3-4 part file created through the part families table. So I've to prepare seperate drawing file for seperate child file.
I have attached a model of the boss and a snap shot of the drawing file created seperately without the intersection point. Is there some setting to make this point visible?

RE: Constraining a line to the edge of the model
While inserting the base view in a drawing template I couldn't find the reference set option which is there while adding a component in assemblies. Could you inform me how to do that?
Thanx

RE: Constraining a line to the edge of the model
However, there are cases where we want to show multiple reference sets of a single component on a drawing... Let's assume there are 2 reference sets (A and B) that I want to show on a single drawing.
One option is to add the component twice, using ref set A for one instance and ref set B for the other. After adding a view, we can then hide one of the components in that view (there are multiple ways to accomplish this, probably the best is "hide component in view").
There may be better options depending on your end goals...
