Thanks for the input, guys. The design at the left/right ends isn't exactly as pictured, but there is some bending that will happen there. I'll check with my client, but I don't believe having saline throughout would be an issue in and of itself. However, not being solid might make the tube...
I have a client that wants to manufacture a flexible plastic part with two hollow sections that will be filled with saline and sealed. Imagine an oblong oval shaped tube where the ends are solid and the long sections hollow. I know there are various ways to accomplish this via multi-piece...
I don't have any problems doing what you're saying. Sounds like you inadvertently selected a plane from the rectangular part instead of the inserted round body.
Looks like 2010 still has the same positive delta-x limitation. I wouldn't think it would matter much to you get the same curve regardless. However, if plotting backwards makes some sort of sense to your application you can do it in 2010 via a Parametric type equation. It would look something...
Ditto to Shaggy. It sounds like the actual area you wanted to show would lead to a tiny detail callout. You can instead create a larger detail view with the proper magnification and then crop it down to size.
Why can't you just mate the two assembly axes concentric/coincident? If one assembly is fixed all you need is one concentric and one coincident mate. It's no different than a screw. If you don't have the geometric to mate to then create a reference axis and plane.
The only way to do this (other than switching ProE) is to use the Vary Sketch option of the Linear Pattern function.
1) Create a cut such that both its position and size change when you change 1 dimension. One easy way to do this is to create a circle that is positioned from one edge, but is...
Bobo,
I'm with you. I never use "THRU ALL". It's always either "THRU" or "THRU ONE WALL". To get rid of the "ALL" you need to replace "<hw-thru>" with "THRU".
