CAD student here trying to get his Inventor project done. 

 

I'm trying to insert a Woodruff Key on a shaft in design accelerator, but I can't find the dang things. Maybe I'm just tired or something but all I seem to find is the rectangular ones. What am I doing wrong? I've attached the file and drawing I'm working with. Please help.

It would take about 2 minutes to model the key and slot.

The dimensions are in the back of the book.

 

For some reason I thought a #406 was too large and used a #404 instead.

Okay, awesome! Thank you guys, I knew I could simply model it, but we were supposed to learn content and design center for this project and I thought it should be in there.

Ah, then use the Content Center rather than the Design Accelerator.

 

(I didn't show this below - but click on the Filter icon (just to the right of the left arrow) and select ANSI standard.)

Attach your assembly here for inspection before you turn it in for a grade.

Hi! Please share the files here or start a new thread with the files that exhibit the issue. It should be doable. Maybe some options are not selected correctly.

Many thanks!
