Before I put my fist through my monitor... I know this can be done, as I have done it in the past, but I'm apparently not remembering the special "trick" required.
I have created a 3D sketch, starting at the origin. I then create another sketch for my profile (a circle), again using a plane...
Can text be "wrapped" to a cone? I would like the text to be engraved to athe same depth on this surface and I have tried several iterations of planes, sketches, etc. however I have yet to find anything that works. Has anyone been able to do this?
Thanks,

I have a sheet metal part that I can not flatten back out. This "part contains features that cannot be unbent" error has shows up in the master assembly, and the related drawings now, and it's making me crazy. I only added the "Flat-Pattern" to make the drawings more clear...
I've got a small problem. I turned off the prompt box that appears when you open a drawing and it can't find the master part and it asks you to locate it. I know that isn't worded very well, but I hope you all know what I mean. I turned it off thinking it would teep asking if I answered...
I am attempting to cut a groove using a curve on the face of a part. In the "help" file for SW 2003 it states that you can use the sweep function to cut. I have never been able to do this. If I create a closed profile, the sweep creates a boss. If I leave the "top" open...
I'm in a search to add 2 lathes to our shop. I have about 8 years experience as a Journeyman Tool & Die maker/Machinist, but only at one shop, so my experience has been limited to the lathes we had there, namely an Okuma engine lathe, a couple LeBlonde's and a Hardinge Toolroom lathe.
What is...
