I am struggling on how to draw the solid shape onto the cylindrical solid shape.

 

  1. should I draw it separately and combine later.

 

  1. should I draw it directly onto the cylindrical shape.

 

the solid shape is being circled in blue.

 

see attached image file.

 

Thanks.

Hello,

 

I'd probably try doing it more or less like this (Your option 1.):

Hey,

 

Well troubles with getting the measurements is other issue...

I assure You everything can be read from this drawing.

 

29 measurement from given 64 linear dimension and cylinder diameter 70.

48 measurement from 64 and 16 linear dimensions

49 measurement from subtracting 100 and 64 linear dimensions and adding the Radius 13

50 measurement by adding 2 x 13 Radius and 24 linear dimension

 

For the 40 measurement, You should be able to construct it using given measurements 50 , 29 and a cylinder outer radius.

 

Good Luck and try to practice with reading measurements !

 

Regards,
Pawel

Your blue d = R26 - R10 = 16

 

Your red d = {you don't need to know this distance!}  Construct the top portion of the part and use the 100 dimension to position it with respect to the bottom cylindrical shape and then trim the result accordingly.

@swieciakpawel  This is my last step to complete the drawing, it is just the ellipse circle the one i am stuck with now, since from your video you already had the ellipse readily available or something like that.

However if  you can clearly explain I shall be grateful.

 

see attached image file, the ellipse is circled in blue.

 

Thanks.

Hey @Anonymous,

 

I'm glad You made it through most of the process! 🙂

 

Now All You have to do is to draw the ellipse and place it in correct position.

 

First draw 2 circles of 13diameter at 24 distance:

Then use the Quadrant Osnap (You can check with OSNAP command if you have this option checked) to draw 2 lines connecting circles.

 

Then simply TRIM the inside of circles and use the JOIN command to convert 2 lines and 2 circle halves into single polyline object.

 

Next You position Your ellipse in a correct position, and follow my previous video - that is, use EXTRUDE command to make it go through Your existing object, and afterwards, using SUBSTRACT command  (first select Your main object, ENTER, select the Extruded ellipsoide, ENTER) You get Your hole!

 

Good luck,

 

Pawel
