Ok, thanks. I got the point put where I want it. I am wondering though, is it simply a graphics thing how when I zoom up, the point no longer seems to be on the intersection but on one of the two lines?
Forgive me for such an elementary question, but I can't figure out how to do something.
I have a circle drawn in sketch. I have drawn a line from the center to the outside, straight up. The cursor automatically snaps to the 90 degree point, and I can put a point there or draw another arc at...
I am trying to figure out how to do something in sketch. Say I have a box. I draw the box in scketch, exit sketch, and then extrude it. I then take the solid (which is now a square), and start another sketch on one of the square's surfaces. On this surface sketch, I create a very detailed sketch...
I finally got the swept cut drawn correctly on the edge of this blade. I did it by selecting the very bottom option in the options tab in the swept cut menu box. It then produced the smooth cut all the way to the tip without showing all the lines seperating the different line segments.
Anyway...
This is what I get. Like I said, I knew it would probably do this. I don't know how to make the edge of the blade one flowing continuous line to begin with.
I'm trying to perform a swept cut on the edge of a knife blade I have drawn. I have been successful in getting the cut to start but it won't do the entire edge. The edge consists of line segments and arcs. There are probably about twenty of them from the rear edge (where the reference plane is...
I see..a tube..I feel dumb lol.
I like to see the graphocal representation of the actual spring. I don't think my models are advanced enough yet for it to affect performance.
Eltron, When I say continue the flat..
Check out what this guy does after he makes the extruded cut to create the flat. One more step to continue the flat around.

The rectangles at the end extruded on the midplane worked for the cut.. Many thanks.
Now I am trying to get the revolve at 180 degrees to continue the flat.
I'm trying to draw a sketch for the other end of this sprring I have here. To create the flat on the end to the right, I drew a sketch in the front plane, and made an extruded cut. After I did this, I made a revolve off of the face of the end of the spring, 180 degrees around.
Now I'm trying...
I came from mostly CAM programs - MasterCAM, Surfcam, GibbsCam, Feature cam. My only 3D experience is with AutoCAD, which is a whole lot more difficult than Solidworks as far as 3D.
I'm a CNC programmer.
