Hi,

Within Inventor, how do I go about drawing the sine wave on the surface of a cylinder?

Thank you

Wonderful!

Thank you.

I have decided to create my invention and I can use all the help I can get.

How do you go about creating the sine wave before it is to be wrapped onto the cylinder?

I imagine it is done in 2D sketch first.

Hello sir,

I request you to re-share the pdf file. As the current link for the pdf has become invalid. 

Thanks

Why not use the Equation Curve tool?  I don't know what was in JD's pdf file, and I also don't recall when the Equation Curve tool was added to the application, but it works well now.  Here's a picture of something I just modeled in Inventor 2023 using Equation Curve.

Amazing, how is equation curve used to create this?

I don't remember anymore, that was nine months ago.  But I attached the file here so you can see what I did.
