Dec 12, 2011I am trying to create a CAD drawing for the construction of Paddle Pop sticks. It is the basic shape of the Magnum sticks, but it is tricky because it has a 140 diameter taper, from the top of the jig to the bottom. I am trying to make the circle attached to the shape of the stick, and the Sweep the circle around the shape. But when I try to sweep it around, it says "The sweep results in a self-intersecting circle". I am using AutoCAD 2012.
P.S. I have attached the .dwg file so that it makes more sense.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Sweeping Along A Complex 3DPolyline
Apr 16, 2013I am modeling an ASME pressure vessel with a 2:1 semi elliptical head upon which there must be a couple of lines of .375" trace tubing. I created a 3dpolyine that is the center line of this tubing, and joined all the segments into one so as to be able to sweep the whole thing and make one solid of the tubing run, but it simply will not sweep. I get a message this it is "unable to sweep the selected object." If I break the 3dpolyline, I can sweep parts of it, but the more complex the line segment, I again get the error message. I have attached a copy of the tubing centerlines.
The one on the left is the joined 3dpolyline, the one on the right is the 3dpolylines unjoined. (These were achieved using an intersection command of a rotated surface--the head profile--and an extruded surface--the tube tracing plan layout.) I have done this before, but only with the unjoined 3dpolyline, as in the right-hand example, but that is very time consuming as each segment must be swept. But I recently acquired a third-party LISP routine that joins the 3dpolylines into one. I'm thinking there must be a limitation on data of the 3dpolyline preventing the sweep, and wondering if there is a setting or system variable that will allow the more complex 3dpolyline to be swept.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Sweeping Threads In A Hole
Nov 7, 2012How to use sweep to successfully put threads in a hole. Attached is the drawing with a helical coil and an object in two different orientations (A and B). To the right of that, you can see the path they took for each. The object rotated from the original position before following the path. Tried changing the position of the object to sweep, but either it sweeps it 180 degrees from what it is already doing (still wrong) or the program says it is invalid and won't do anything till I put it back in the original rotational position and try again.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD 2010 :: How To Fill A Hollow Object Created With The Sweeping Tool
Nov 7, 2012I am trying to create a tube by sweeping a circle along a spline. I read many of the previous discussion threads on the topic but I still have some issues.
I first created my spline and transformed it in a polyline (some people recommended to do it). Then I created the circle. Finally I sweep the circle along the path.
The issues are the following:
1) when I look at the tube using the 2D wireframe mode, I can see that the primitives are not completely regular. In some points there are weird intersections and I don't know how I can fix them.
2) I hoped the tube was solid. However, when I exported (as .IGS) it and see in another program, I realized that it has only two circular caps at the extremities of the tube, but inside it is hollow.
I tried to transform it in solid or mesh or whatever, but it always gives me an error, saying that the object cannot be converted.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: How To Project Onto A Surface A Divergent Rectangle
Dec 13, 2013I would like to perspective-project a rectangle along its normal onto a spherical surface to create a 3D sketch or curve.
The rectangle is within the volume of the sphere.
The rectangle is much smaller than the sphere.
The rectangle normal may be orientated with any vector.
So for parallel projection this can be achieved by creating a 3D sketch and the Project to Surface command. But I would like to define a divergent angle so the rectangle tapers out towards the spherical surface interior.
Lofting is difficult or impossible for other factors. the reasons are lengthy to explain here. Is there a surface or solid modelling trick, or add-in, that allows this?

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Draft Shape That Begins As Protruded Rectangle
Jan 30, 2012I am attempting to draft a shape that begins as a protruded rectangle. The shape then continues as a protruded rectangle that bends and conforms to the shape of cone. That may have been confusing. The profile does not change in shape to a cone. Lets say I want to do a sweep, and use the rectangle as the profile. I pick a path that was project wrapped to the cone, and the cone as the surface. I have trouble with the outcome.
I get all kind of open loop errors, and stuff with the paths, oh and also I get an error saying that the the path is not tangient and continuous. I have spent hours trying to go at it different ways. I tried using rails and I still can't get this sweep to do what I am wanting it to do. The rectangular profile has to be perpendicular to the cone surface as it follows it for the outcome to be correct. I have attached the file.

Oct 7, 2013LSP routine or some easy way to take any given rectangle and divide it into "x" number of rectangles?
I can run a Macro to accomplish this, but ONLY if the rectangle is of the same dimensions as set up in the Macro.
What I am looking for is a LSP or something else that can take a rectangle of any dimension, "array" it into 64 rectangles, all having same dimensions, and said 64 rectangles making up the original, larger rectangle. The end product will resemble a grid of sorts, but I need each interior rectangle to be a closed polyline, rather than just splitting the large rectangle with gridlines.
I can do this manually using the array command for each one, but there are several hundred that need broken up, and no time to do it in.

But I thnk there must be a way to do it more easily.

I have tried all the different commands in chamfer, the best i can do is guess at the distance,which is a crap shoot to me.
