Projection of 3D Curve

Kamlesh Kumar Apr 21, 2014 1:34 AM

Is it possible to project 3D curve on a solid face?

Actually I am trying to project a 3D curve on a sphere but I fail.

Please suggest me any idea(s) about these type projection.

I am using SolidWorks-2013.

Thanks and regards,

Kamlesh

I'm not sure if it will work but give the wrap command a try.

Hi,
Create Datum plane perpendicular to the direction of projection. Convert 3D curve to 2D in that plane and project the 2D curve on a sphere.
