construction geometry

Draw a circle in the top plane and extrude a cylinder. Create a sketch on the front plane and view normal to the sketch plane. Use the "use" tool to create a silhouette edge on the side of the cylinder. The sketch is not fully defined. In the sketch diagnostics tools, the endpoints of the silhouette edge are considered…

I would like to construct the strips shown in the first picture, which follow an elipse. In the sketch (second picture) you can see my complicated construction with a linear pattern and a manually added rectangle to intersect the eliptical construction line. Does anyone have an idea for a simpler way? I did not manage to…

I am just starting to explore FeatureScript and the documentation - while decent, is insufficient. My background - I have been coding since the days of DOS. I can code in BASIC (geez, my age shows), C++, VisualBASIC, VisualLISP, AutoLISP, JAVA, html, and a few other extremely esoteric languages that are specific to their…

I stumbled across this creating a revolved surface. In Sketch 1 is a construction line that is to be used as the axis of revolution. When doing a surface it fails saying surface intersects itself. But click on Solid and it creates the solid! Something to watch out for?? I selected the entire sketch by picking on it in the…
