wrap a solid around another

[pierluigi bruno]

Hi, I would like to know if there is an autocad command to envelop a flat surface or a solid around another solid, such as a cylinder. If I wanted to make a bracelet with particular holes I would like to draw a rectangular solid with the holes and then be able to wrap it around a cylinder. Can you do that?

I fear that what you ask for by autocad is pure science fiction

 

[pierluigi bruno]

with which software is it possible to do so? Can you do that?

 

[mibit]

I don't know, I do things like that with powershape.

 

[pierluigi bruno]

I understand, I will find other ways to do these things, thank you anyway

beyond the "mode" in which to achieve the result seems to me that the example is misleading: If you want to drill a cylinder (arm) you can do it directly without having to "work" on its development in plan to rewind later.
build your cylinder with extrusion or revolution and orient radial subtraction solids.
autocad is not ideal for these things but if you "organize" something you can do. I recommend a surface modeler like rhino that allows, among other things, to project sections on surfaces to easily get what you want.

this now can do it also autocad:wink:

Even if it seems absurd for such small quantities, pierluigi wants to do so to have the development of the sheet, the cutting nest.
I see no other explanation.
Hi.

 

[MarcoBi]

it is possible but this only applies to rings like "made". restrictive.
could also be "only" a pure modeling problem.
Bye.
