Exercise: Formed Curve on Cylinder

• Feature > Create > Solid > Protrusion > Blend > Solid (*thin) > Done
        * Use Thin if the blend is hollow
• Rotational > Done
• Smooth > Done
• Create the first section on the sketching plane,
• Add a 'sketched coordinate system' on top of the part Csys,
• You may also add a vertical centerline to use in creating a Diameter dimension.
• Done
• Enter 90 degrees about the Y-axis for the second sketch
• Create a 'sketched coordinate system' (anywhere)
• Draw (or retrieve) your section exactly the same as the first
• Add a vertical dimension in addition to the radius.
• Done
  

  
  

• Feature > Copy > Move > Dependent > Done
• Select the blended feature > Done
• Translate > Csys > Z-axis > Okay
• Enter a distance equal to the height of the 2nd blend section
• Rotate > Csys > Z-axis > Okay
• 90 degrees > Done > Okay
• Pattern > varying (or general) > Done
• Select the copied feature's height dimension (near the 1st sketch copy)
• Enter that same value
• Select the copied feature's rotational dimension, and enter that same value
• Done
• Enter the quantity of ¼ turns you want (minus 1)
• Done
• Add two relations:
  Set the distance of the 2nd sketch from part center equal to the 1st sketch distance
  Set the pattern height increment equal to the height value of the 2nd sketch
