how to graduate scale on knob?

[damien.darhk]

Hello, I'm trying to design a knob(that in my case is a simple cylinder) with  a marked scale, with a mark and the degrees number ever X degrees on the circumference.

Anybody know a fast way to do that? I cannot figure it out.

These markings are on the flat face or cylinder wall?

Either way, make one and use circular pattern.

Make one with a sketch line and

a cylinder pipe as a cut is one way.

Might help...

On the cylinder wall

Here is one way to do it, with a circular pattern of faces. These are every 5 degrees.

Ok. I got it. I have only one question: how can I add number next to the marks ?

One at a time for the text.

Text is tedious but it is a little better using sheet metal and putting the text in a flattened sheet matching the dial and doing an extrude cut then combine. I only did to 75 but you could take it from there.

I'm trying to make a doble scale one for side. but when I try to joint it with the cylinder it sayt that the joint already exist and if I continue it broke the joint with the other scale. What am I missing?

I don't know, can you attach an f3d file of your model?
