I am new to Inventor 2012 and am having trouble changing the "Front" view of my assembly. currently in my part the bottom view is what is shown when I click on "Front" view in my cube. Is there a way to correct this after the assembly is already complete? Thanks.

Yes, that is what I am needing. Can you explain how you got that? I see that you used loft but how did you get your guide curves like that? Thanks.

I think my issue though is producing the guides to sweep against.

I am new to Inventor and more accustomed to using Unigraphics. I have two rectangular steel sections seperated and rotated 90 degrees to one another. They are also offset from center. I would like to get a smooth tangent curve to replicate the bend in the metal between the two. In UG, this...

dzupfrg, It looks like you are on the right track for what I need. I'm just trying to figure out how exactly you got it to work. I have deleted most of my blends similar to your picture but still am getting an error. Maybe I have my settings wrong? Attached is a photo. Thanks for the...

I am working on a casting (see attached) and now trying to draft the body from the parting line on both sides. I have tried several times using "parting object" but keep getting an error. Is there an easier way to do this without remodeling the part? Thanks.

Thanks for the help. I didn't realize that we had this option when using draft from edges.

Thank you. Thats exactly what I'm trying to do.

Attached is an example of what I am trying. Near the top and the bottom of the part I need 10 degrees draft but towards the middle of the part I am looking for 20 degrees.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=2c4e58d5-3b7e-46c5-94d3-0f604dd28c62&file=Draft.prt

Thanks. I had a feeling it may come down to that but was hoping there would be an easier way that I didn't know about.

7.5

Similar to adding variable radius points on an edge blend, is there a way to do this on faces that you add draft too? For example if I have a forged part where the outside face varies between 10 and 20 deg draft, is there a way to model that? Thanks.

I am using NX 7.5. Is there any way to put in a curved arrow symbol to signify a rotational direction around an axis? Thanks.

Thanks! I didn't think about doing it that way.

That is very close to what I am looking for SDETERS except by doing that, the thickness along the edge now varies. I would like to have a uniform thickness at the edge if at all possible.
