Re: Part Design pocket a portion of inner surface of a revolve

You can use a sweep/pipe, use Part project to surface or Curves sketch on surface and then a shapebinder to import into the body (the path.)

Re: Part Design pocket a portion of inner surface of a revolve

What is this obsession with sketches lately? (A general question.)

Re: Engraving using a sketch

That sketch is not good for a path, it needs to be broken down into several. One can be the outer rim, then each of the spokes should be separate.
