I have been attempting to place an O-Ring Groove on the side of a Cylinder with Zero Success. Any Ideas??? I am thinking there is a way to Sweep Cut the Groove but need to create Geometry for the Sweep Shape. I have tried a Booleans Cut but it isn't right. This will be done on a Rotary 4th Axis.
Is there a better way other than trying to generate a Geometry Projection around the Cylinder Surface??? Or maybe an Assembly ?? There must be a better way, and one that works for that matter.
The Shaft is about 5/8" in diameter with a 3/8" Bored Through on the Side.
The O-Ring Groove (about 1/16" wide) needs to go around the 3/8 Bore.
This one has been quite confusing at this end. Considering this is a first attempt at something like this in Alibre.
BTW V10.1 or V11.1 suggestions are all good. Just don't tell me it can't be done. :cry:
