creating a barrel cam

ihor_gernaga

I've created barrel cams in solidworks using the wrap feature, but haven't been able to find a similar feature in onshape. Is it possible in onshape?

Thanks.

try this, you need Sketch wrapper FS with "use path" checkbox if you using a smooth law of motion

Not in the app store. Open up Konstantin's doc from his link above and add the feature to your toolbar with the little plus item inside the workspace, you will also find a description and examples inside the doc. This is a great feature too btw.

I checked in the app store and Sketch wrapper FS does not show up. Where can I find this app?

Thank you Konstantin and Bruce. I appreciated your assistance.

The wrap worked well. But, I also need to create a channel (a bell curve) and using the extrude/remove does not work. I also checked the feature scripts with no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks.
