I am not able to make a 360 degree sine wave. I will be machining a sine wave pattern on the end of a tube. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you...
 
Can you make a sketch (pen & paper perhaps) of what it is exactly you're trying to achieve?

Walterke,

Thank you for your follow up.Attached is a NX6 file showing my objective. The sine wave pattern was made using the sketch tool. My question is how/what tool to use such that I can adjust the sine wave as needed. I tried using the "Law Curve" tool then the "Wrap Curve" Tool but the "Wrap Curve" will not place the sine wave in a coaxial position.

Thank you.

You'd be better off posting this in the UG/NX forum
