retrieve a bend from sweep ?

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 🙂

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

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

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. 🙂

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.

Thank you too! I've never seen Intersection Curve used for a piping run, so I learned something new today. Sweet!!
