bigben1103 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Hello Everyone, I am drawing an adjustable drill stop. I have basically chamfered a cylinder to create a point. I know what the sweep profile looks like, I just cannot seem to angle the plane to be tangent with the chamfer. Being as I am on a school computer, I am unable to attach a picture or a file (I have tried). Any suggestions? -Max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshowalt Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Make one of your origin planes visable select make workplane button from ribbon select face of chamfer Right Click and choose make point select edge of chamfer and click select edge of visible worokplane and click You will now have a workplane tangent to the chamfer and perpendicular to the origin plane you used.

JD Mather Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 This was written for AutoCAD - but the process is similar http://home.pct.edu/~jmather/content/CAD238/AutoCAD%202007%20Tutorial%2010.pdf Zip and attach your file here if you can't figure it out.

bigben1103 Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 figured it out! I did not need an angled plane. I made a horizontal profile of the cuts and used the coil-cut command to take out the material. Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 figured it out! I did not need an angled plane. Actually, you do - if you want to do it right. If you are just making a pretty picture, then you should be OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
