hello.

I have created a pipe using sweep through 2 planes and 3d sketch. I want a specific bend on that pipe to be extracted for drawing purpose. How do I do that ?

thanks in advance

[#2]

Can you Retrieve the 2D generating sketches in the drawing?

[#3]

dont think so. cant see eny 2d sketch, only 3d.

picture is attached

[#4]

Can you post the part?

[#5]

yes, here you go

[#6]

You might have to make them visible in ipt first, I don't recall for sure.

[#7]

If they are not visible in ipt, after retrieving them right click and Include.

ok. I can retrieve the 2D sketch's but how will that help me, retrieve the bend to a standalone part and putting angle dimensions on a bend part ? if you noticed the bend is bended through 2 axis.

I can be more specific, I must find the rotation degrees of that bend and put them on a drawing.

[#9]

here an example of what im looking for, but the method is really dirty.

also note the picture, thats the angle im looking for.

Could you add workplanes to your part? Then use the workplanes and the Change View Orientation tool to get the drawing view into the correct orientation.
