How to make holes on EXACT locations on a cylinder surface?
zmarcoz posted a topic in Autodesk Inventor
Assume I need to create a 3" dia, 10" length cylinder. On the cylinder surface (1.5" from the center line), I need to make three .1" dia holes perpendicular to the center axis. They are at 3", 7" and 9". I know how to draw a cylinder. I also know to use "work place" to create a virtual plane on the surface of the cylinder. However, I don't know how to make the holes in the exact location because I cannot create any dimension relate to the cylinder while I am drawing on the "work plane", Please help Thanks -
I am having an issue with saving a drawing as an AutoCAD file. The drawing involves an assembly with which I have created several section views, using the 'include slice' and 'slice all parts' options for each view. I have then rotated some of these views as that allows me to rearrange the sections on the drawing sheet independent of the main part. The problem I get is when I save a copy of this drawing file as a .dwg, only the main part appears in AutoCAD. There are no section views included. Is this something that happens with the 'slice' feature on the section views? I am using Inventor 2009 and trying to open with AutoCAD 2010, so maybe that is an issue also?
