How to add curved channels into parts

ArkelicArkelic Member Posts: 9

Hi everyone, I am still learning cad so apologies in advance if this is an obvious question. I am re-creating a part to mount a PCB and I am quite stumped as how these curved channels for zip-ties for cable strain relief are being added into the part. Could someone point me in the right direction on what I should be doing to re-create those cuts please? Any help would be appreciated!

    Hello. Here is a link to a document using one method, not necessarily the method used by the creator of the model you posted. - Scotty

    Thank you for the document, very helpful! For the line you made, was it a 3 point arc that you then offset and them mirrored?
