Hi to all,
I created a slightly curved slot library feature, its almost flat but not quite (a request from the designer). The issue is that I have to place it along a curve line and pattern it with equal spacing thru out the panel which is flat but as a curve shape. I cant do a curve or circular pattern because the result is not right, so I thought I might try the pattern based on a sketch but still does not do what I need. My next option was the library feature to use as a punch tool using the same sketch to align the slot on the curves... yet again I hit another wall there. Does anyone have ideas on how to approach this type of request??
I attached a few files to help understand.
Thanks,
Yes...progress!!
After many trials & errors and removing some relations I was able to make the slot adaptable to the curve. I feel this is only a workaround solution because it takes too much preparation time for the positioning sketch and it is absolutely not efficient to insert that many slots one at a time.
I still hope someone has a better way of doing this.
