Hi,
I'm new to fusion 360 and still figuring out the software.
I've been trying to make a 2D sketch which then can be exported as a DWG/DXF to a different software for further production.
I made a Spline according to the needs of my client and its all good and working until i have to create a pattern on path. Apparently i cant use pattern on path unless its in 3D mode. So i made a cylinder on the outer edge at the beginning of the Spline. Problems start after this really.
The distance between the holes needs to be certain to maintain the "tooth" that is left between the holes and a line.
It always has to be 0.40mm in height. Now then using the distance between the bodies and the pattern on path seems to be on the only viable way to get there.
Using the settings as displayed i am fairly sure its right.
I haven't been able to figure out a way to bring this pattern back to 2D so i could make rest of the sketch. I'm also lacking the methods to measure and ensure that the "tooth" size has not changed at all.
Any tips or ideas how to resolve this or make the whole progress a lot easier than how i made it?
There could be variations in the Spline or the shape could be totally different in the future as well.
I'm essentially searching for a method to place certain sized holes to follow a path so that the "tooth" wont change.
a big plus would be to find a method that is easy to produce with different variables.
Thanks in advance!
