Rotational cut with parallel sides

[sully]

I am trying to create a rotational cut with parallel sides, don't seem to be able to do it,I think I've lost all my proe skills please don't laugh.

I want to rotate the section shown above both sides of the Datum 2

But keeping the sides parallel

I also want to dimension with diameters

Do the rotational cut. Under options select the second direction for degrees of angle. Make the cut. Then draft the sides back using the vertical plane for pull direction and set the draft angle to zero. Do this on both sides.

Sorry. Horizontal plane for pull direction.

hi Sully,


You can make the surface rotation and another the straight one (bothshould be surface with capped ends) Now merge them and go for the solidify command


you will get the desired shape


Hope it will solve the purpose

one mor solution,


first go for the straight cut on front view as shown by you

keeping the sides paral

Now go for the rotational section but it will be to add material not an cut

Hello,

Y do u wanna do it in Rotational cut?? I see it as a variable sec sweep option - wherein u have pivot direction.
In ur case draw an arc for trajectory as in pic 2 of length .160
draw a section in any one end
select top as pivot plane

cheers

Ringo is right, VSS is the way to go. Sketch trajectory, then use VSS with CONSTANT NORMAL DIRECTION, and specify plane you would like to keep sketch parallel to. This method is very easy to modify
