Hi, I would like to sweep a slot on a cylinder that will be CNC'ed. The slot needs to be normal to the cylindrical surface as it wraps around it.

custom "nozzle" feature
Hi, I need to be able to "copy" a certain feature (lets call it a nozzle) to an array of holes on a cylinder. (or to the position of a mate connector on the cilinder mantle) I would like to make a feature script which would allow for a nozzle (based on 3 base dimensoins) to be installed at certain positions on the…
