Hi,

Can anybody help create the cam profile parametrically on the part (STEP data) attached?
I have used WRAP / UNWRAP curve, EMBOSS, EXTRUDE etc.

The requirement is to model an easily editable geometry.

Running NX 9.0 without TCe

Help appreciated.

I'm not going to do your work for you, but I will provide you with an example how to to use Wrap Curve to create a model similar to your example (see attached file).
