Problems drawing a j slot
Anybody can tell me how to draw and also what is the best machining option to use ( mill diam, index?) I’m posting a picture attached with dimensions. I have troubles drawing a “j” slot because it only shows a 29 degree angle and not a dimension.

When you get a chance, would you mind posting that photo?
Just guessing off of your description, the following articles may be particularly helpful for this. If you are trying to mill a slot around the OD of a part, you will need to make sure that the curve is tangent to the OD, and then just check the wrap option in the feature.

Thanks for your response. This is my first time posting in this forum, and when I tried to attach the picture, I couldn’t because the attachment options wasn’t available don’t know why!

Ahhhh. I didn't realize it was PMK. @christian.poluch @tatenda.mushonga Any ideas?
Also, for images specifically, I recommend the 'Insert Photos' option. This puts the photo inline with the response as opposed to attaching the file for download.

Im using iPhone X to upload the image but when I do it and try to post I get an error message saying that: “your post has been changed because of invalid HTML was found in the body. The invalid HTML has been removed. Please review the message and submit the message when satisfied.” So how do I upload the image?

Since only the formatting of your text for the forum was adjusted. This is very confusing the first time.
Just click on posts again.
I hope it helps?
Da wurde nur die Formatierung deines Textes für das Forum angepasst. Das ist die ersten Male sehr verwirrend.
Einfach noch einmal auf posten klicken.
Ich hoffe das hilft?

Hi I was looking at your pictures and...Your drawing shows 29 degrees.
I can't see relation to what. The other end shows a pipe thread only.
Regards.

The 29 degrees are related to the center of the circle in the j slot.
