Great work Paul

No.

I routinely ask this same question on the Autodesk Inventor forums and have never had an instructor join this discussion and usually the OP states, "no, not possible" but never gives a logical reasoning.

As near as I can determine - there are very very few instructors in public education (at any level) who actually know how to model in SolidWorks or Inventor, or Creo, or..., let alone use these modern tools as the full-featured engineering tools that they have become (or were - they actually seem to be stagnating or even regressing).

I think that all of the major MCAD vendors have missed the boat on capturing the faculty at public institutions.  A one-week VAR class is not enough to learn these programs.  The company that first establishes a summer institute (a real boot-camp, not a 3-day or week long intro) for faculty will own the future of this market and drive the next evolution of engineering design.

Unfortunately, they seem to be going after the mass of least common denominator.

They need to read Bill Vaughn Koen's, A Discussion of the Method

You need to attach the *.sldprt files of your attempts so that others interested in offering help can gauge the best way to structure that help.
