Thanks deadlykitten. Damn, I've been around motorcycle engines for most of my life but never knew that the industrial version of a shift drum was called a "barrel cam" mechanism. No wonder I couldn't...
Hi all,
I just spent the last day trying to draw a motorcycle gear shift drum which is basically a cylinder with 3 tracks (paths) for the selector fork pins to follow. I've been CAD drawing for some...
Sorry but I never received the notification of this post and therefore didn't know about your request until now (22 November 2019). Probably go with atomicbear's offer but like he said, "you will...
Yes, high density expanded polystyrene foam = 28kg/m3 and the job is item (a) 915 x 807 x 267mm high by quantity 2 and item (b) 861 x 800 x 265mm high by quantity 2, so a total of 4 pieces. I just...
Does anyone remember a guy somewhere here in Oz that was building either a 5 axis router or a multi-axis wire cutter? I've got a job I want cut in high density EPS. I've done a few searches but...
I also like the way you do your electrical planning! Hey what city are you in?
Hi RandK,
I tried that using planar surface and it worked perfectly. I don't have a clue why it didn't before and that is what threw me. A big thanks to you.
Phil
No, I have tried that but will do. Thanks for the suggestion Mike.
I also posted this in the Rhino section and RandK suggested the following which worked perfectly and even gives me the possibility...
Thanks for your suggestion, I'll give it a go tomorrow and let you know. It's probably just something I did wrong and just need to try it again. Thanks
Hi All, just checking if anyone has had experience with importing Rhino sketches into Solidworks. I have a Romer 6 axis digitising arm that I run directly in Rhino and even though I do my surface...

I did a bit of digging this week and have finally been able to do what I wanted to do. I knew what I wanted to do but not how to go about it. Some of the problems I was having where simply caused by...
I won't get a chance to open it until later in the week as I am flat out at the moment but thanks a lot for posting the file and the tip re 7-zip.
Phil
2015 X64 is the version and thanks for the advice as to the method.
As per adamw's and your suggestion, I downloaded a SW file of a head in Grabcad and what a good move that was. Even though the...
Absolutely that's what I wanted and thank you very much for your input. I'd be embarrassed to tell you how many hours I spent trying to get this right this week and finally gave up out of disgust on...
Well, I finally got it sorted. It's another very late night so I haven't got time to post a sample of the results now but will do at the first opportunity. I needed to watch a few youtube videos on...
I'm wondering if the problem is the online zip converter I used to zip the files (cnczone won't accept SW files) because now that I think about it, I shared a file with a mate of mine some weeks ago...
Good suggestion Adam.
Derived sketch, while being very handy, will place a sketch on the angled plane in the same way as copy/paste but won't do what I need in this case. The Temp3a file explains why but at this stage no...
Do you know which is better for surfaces, IGES or STP?
"Make your assy from multiple parts. These parts reference individual files. These are called instances, and done with the place command in...
Ok, here's one (Temp3a) that illustrates the problems in a better way complete with annotations on each sketch. This one shows what happens when you (a) convert entities to an angled plane (valve...
Try this.
As pointed out by Mike, Temp1 had some errors so I re-did it (attached here) as Temp1a.
Temp1b (attached here) Someone elsewhere suggested that if you get a sketch on a regular plane and the...
Yes, that's the problem with the written word (forums) as it's easy to misunderstand (me) what others (you) are saying. Hey good luck with it and I hope you get it going well. I'll keep following...
I know several users of RhinoCAM who say it's garbage and they're not hobby guys either. One is a very smart guy that does all kinds of mould work for complex carbon fibre work. I also know 2 people...
I started learning SW some months ago and have got quite comfortable with it (love the parametric aspect) and thought I'd start drawing a cylinder head (DOHC 4 valve). All was going well until I got...
Thanks cygnus, that did it. As a mate of mine pointed out to me just now, just select the bottom edge (like what you said) or the bottom face and do a normal radius and hey presto. It's embarrassing...
Thanks for your help guys but I did an extruded cut (10mm deep) but when I then do a "full round fillet" to produce the shape that a 10mm ball nose cutter would leave (as per the top jpeg) I can't...
Can anyone tell me what this kind of shape is called and what is the easiest way to make it in SW? I would have called it a groove or slot but it seems "slots" (in the YouTube S.W. tutorials) go...
"Antarctica's increasing sea ice restricting access to research stations" but don't worry, according to them it's nothing to do with Global Warming but simply caused by the wind. Yeh right! Whatever!...
