Dear SolidWorks Team & Others....
1. Today SolidWoks already have "Wrap" feature that work for wraping 2D sketch on limited shape of surface.
Is there any plan to improve this for next version 2011 ?
2. The Wrap currebtly only work for wraping 2D sketch. How about wraping 3D object ?
Hopefully SolidWorks will improve modeling area, not only improve in the machine design area.
Thanks !!!
Hi Charles....
Are you serious we can do it use "Deform".
I have tried several times before, but cant get the correct shape.
Here is attached model you can try ( please ).
The part have two configuration. Deform Sketch and Deform Solid.
So I need the leaf to be wrap on to the bowl.
Thanks for your time on this
Hi Charles,
Below is more data ( Images & parasolid version ) :
Hope this make more clear
Ahmad,
It depends on whether you're okay with "projected" vs. "wrapped" From what I see in your example it looks like you could live with projected and still have an exceptable solution?

Hi Mark,
As you know that Wrap & Project is different. Especially in non planar surface.
So here my customer cant approved the result from Project.
In plastics and glassware industry, Wrap is the most important feature.
Hopefully SolidWorks can solve this in next release ( SW 2011).
Do you know another software that have more advance Wrap, both 2D & 3D ?
Or maybe a solidworks solution partner ?
Thanks Mark
Hello Admad,
I would recommend our partner Rhino. Rhino can do this with there Applycrv (Apply curve - wrap) command. they can also drap surfaces but I think you want to hold the curve ratio 1:1. See attached.

Hi Mark,
I am appreciate your help and effort.
I tried searh on internet and just found this link.
I hope this is solidworks future for next release
Thanks Mark, and I am still wonder reply from Charles.
Admad,
No, there are no plans to enhance wrap functionality for SW2011. Please submit (and everyone else who would like to see this) an ER on the customer portal.
Thanks
Mark
Ahmad,
You can use the "deform" tool today with a surface to surface transformation to wrap a flat sketch onto another surface. The deform tool can also do your #2 request, which is to wrap a 3D object around another.
