I am designing a door check mechanism and have been experimenting with a curved rod. However, I cannot mate the curved rod with the corresponding curved hole in the body. How could I go about this differently? I believe the radius and diameter of the rod and mating hole are correct but they will not mate. Please see the attached assembly. Thanks
there is no curved hole in the parts you posted. if you describe in more detail what you want the parts to do, we can be more detailed in our responses, but you may want to look at the path mate and or mating sketch elements.
I think He didn't have the swept cut from the side completed. My guess is he wanted like this.
Was actually trying to go through the other hole which evidently didn't get saved in the assembly I posted but either way, the process should be the same. Please enlighten me as to what you did, I've been struggling with this for the last two days. Yes Dennis, that is exactly what I was trying to do. I haven't used Solidworks in about 3 years so I'm trying to get back on the horse
Hi Ryan. I notice your file was 2013 so I could not attach a file that would do you much good.
First thing I did was to add a new plane coincident with your circle center then dragged that plane up above your sketch10. Then edited the sketch plane for sketch10. Then made the swept cut. In the assembly I made the sketches visible and made a coincident mate with the sketches.
You may want to add a point or plane in your part sketches in order to fully define the assembly and put the rod in the rotational position you want.
