I am trying to rotate an ellipse to 35 deg i n Pro-E sketcher but its not happening,is there any way to do that or its not possible ..pls help me come out from this mess
Sounds like you have a constraint that is linking the elliptical radii to one of or maybe even both of the base datum planes. Try breaking these constraints first and then try to rotate
Next a Revolve feature....sketch....use only HALF of the earlier sketch.... revolve to 35 deg. My proe is not open now. But I have a hunch it will work.
It is possible to save the ellipse sketch as a sketch file. You can then import that same sketch again and apply scaling and rotation options as a sketch from file import. That might allow you to rotate the specified amount?
You can also highlightyourellipse, go up to edit, and select scale and rotate. You might have to move your rotation origin using yourrmb depending on where you want to rotate it by 35 deg.
Wow, your rightlaiju. I just assumed it would rotate/scale like every other sketched entity but appears the x,y radii is what the problem is. Only way I could get it to work was saveitout to autocad, rotate it in autocadand bring it back into my sketch.
Ellipses in sketcher only go H and V. You need to create a datum normal to your sketch plane and at 35 degrees prior to creating your sketch. Then use that datum as the sketch orientation reference so that H or V is parallel to the 35 degree plane.
You can create a rotatable ellipse with four conic arcs as show in the sketch below. Set the rho value to be
=sqrt(2)-1 so the sketch is a true ellipse. You can then draw the part at an angle as in the sketch shown, or use the Edit - Sclale and Rotate command.
