Hey guys, I'm hoping you can give me a hand with this.
I've got an autoCAD mechanical dawing I'm trying to draw in Inventor to update an exploded view.
I'm not sure if this drawing has enough detail, or if I'm just too green to accurately model the part.
I've tried modelling the part with a sweeped curve and also by using the bend command, but so far have been unsuccessful in getting a model that lines up with the dimensions on the drawing.
I can post up my models, but I'm a bit enbarrased due to the cluttered mess of work planes and axis.

What version of Inventor?
That's how I've seen it. I think, not all dimensions of the 2D drawing are possible in a 3D model. File is 2010

Here are the two files I created. Looks pretty similar to what WH posted, but not quite the same...
Either way, it doesn't match up exactly with what the drawing shows...
Let me know what you guys think.
Do you have pictures of the actual part?
Unfortunately we purchased the product line from a company and have been working on sourcing places to make the part.
The person making the part right now isn't making it 100% to the print, and we'd like to model the part as they were originally designed.
I imagine having a model for the part would help suppliers with CNC benders make the part...
I was just showing you how to not really putting effort into it you ask how to, not can you make my part..
If you wish for me to do so I will when I get done with the client I am at.......
