Wrap 2D Sketches around Curved surface

Mazie_Houchens

If you have a part with an arching face, or face that isn't flat, and want to transfer a sketch onto it.

I think @konstantin_shiriazdanov has a wrapping FS that may be useful.

check this - Fold FS for mapping at some general cylindical surfaces and Sketch wrapper FS for mapping on cylinders and cones

Mazie_Houchens did you ever get this to work?

Mazie_Houchens

rune_thorsen229 i think I had at the time but I don't remember what project i used it one. I think OS has a feature now that can wrap sketches on cylinder and cones but not other organic surfaces/shapes

john_mcclary

Yes, Onshape has the wrap feature, I don't know how it works on organic surfaces...

Jake_Rosenfeld

Currently wrap only works for cylinders.  Eventually, more will come.

The wrap feature works really well, but I believe it is indeed limited to geometries that are curved/angled in one dimension (if that makes sense). For example an extruded cylinder will work, however a cylinder extruded with a draft (cone shape) will not.
Currently busy with a project with organic shapes. Would love to see wrap working for lofts etc.

don't know if this is planned, but my use is for example to have a text or a drawing, with a surounding box in "contruction" and a Bezier spline, I would like to be able to "wrap" the box and it's content to the spline in order to create "curved" texts or visual effects on drawings.... don't know if there is a feature script for that

malet_jl

replying to myself this is the "flex" feature script of https://cad.onshape.com/documents/3e722a131221bea54c6a1f00/v/f4edc36c563e9ae1c2d36088/e/e2a61a0921298df269487684?jumpToIndex=228&showReturnToWorkspaceLink=true that do the trick!

Would be great to know when a release might come out to allow wrap to work with more objects. In particular would be great if it could work on an extruded ellipse.
