Nesting Wave Washers? |
|
|
What is the best way to nest wave washers? I can't seem to align the waved
surfaces to each other.

Jason have you tried to constrain to datums? if the standard ones are no
good then add as many as you need for proper aligning.

I ended up orienting them all the same way and just offset each from the
surface I was stacking them on. I offset by the thickness for the second,
thickness x 2 for the third, etc. That seemed to work the fastest.

You might be aware of it, but if not...
Have you looked into the Repeat command? I think (?) I can envision a pt to pt
constraint setup that would allow you to build a stack up during a single
placement command, one click per instance, as many as you want per stack.
You might also consider patterning for such problems (directional in wf2? I
don't do much component patterning, so...).

Yes, if there's an offset dimension, even zero, the component can be patterned.
Another way to pattern would be to group with a patternable (parametrically
moveable) feature and pattern the group.

Believe (new in WF2) you can just use a Directional pattern and pick the bore
axis to define (no offset dimension necessary). |

Thanks....why didn't I think of patterning it! Duh! That would have been
easiest.
Anyway....David, I still need help with that radial axis disappearing. See
my newest post in the thread for that topic. As you can tell my company is
too cheap to pay for maintenence and I have to rely on message boards and
newsgroups for help.
Very appreciative,
Jason
