Does anyne know how to join two curves that intersect each other.
I am trying to build a cylindrical cam but with two grooves that intersect like a self reversing screw.
I saw a tutorial o youtube of a simulation of a self reversing screw in solidworks but I want to do that in Catia but I don´t know how.
Thank you.
 
You can join the curves by disabling "check manifold" in the join operation.
But the solid feature will not work with a self-intersecting curve.
I think you will need to keep them as two separate curves and create two separate slot operations.
 
Thank you both for the answer. The check manifld disabling fixed my problem as I only need the curve and not the solid feature.
