    Configuration weight in Bill of Material

    Is it possible to display the weight of different configurations of individual parts in a bill of material? When I create my BOM the weights of all the configurations are the same.

    Model radial slot X,Y,Z

    Need assistance in modeling a radial cut in which the part is stationary and the cutter moves in the X,Y,Z directions. I have tried lofting and sweeping cuts which both work, but the side walls are not straight. See example.

    How do you convert all entites of a surface when in a sketch? When I select a surface which has inner and outer edges the only the outer edges are converted.

    Create O-ring Groove on Radial surface

    OK I got it. I was able to create the type of groove I was looking for by wrapping a curve for the groove for the OD of the groove then creating a composite curve along with the section of the groove then cut-sweep. thanks for everyones input.

    Create O-ring Groove on Radial surface

    I wasn't clear, what I am trying to create is. The groove is on the OD of the shaft and not around the OD. I have a round shaft that has a hole perpendicular to the shaft centerline. Around this hole is the O-ring groove.

    Create O-ring Groove on Radial surface

    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to create O-ring groove on a radial surface. (face seal on radial surface) I have tried to use Cut sweep/loft with no luck. I have also used the wrap feature but this creates a groove with tapered walls.
