I have been working on the rocket profile today which I am going to mirror and create the whole rocket outline.
One difficulty I have had was trying to get the correct profile using the spline tools, I tried 3 or 4 times but eventually got a profile that was similar to my card design. I was wondering if there was a way you could import a template from Adobe Illustrator into pro engineer to draw around to get the identical rocket profile that I have on my card specs.
If you export the file as a bitmap - it's possible to paste the image onto a Pro/Engineer surface as a 'Decal' in the Appearance editor - you will then be able to trace around it and save the resulting sketch as a .sec file
ReplyDeleteThis sketch can then be placed onto the first datum plane of a new part by importing it through the Sketch pull down menu > Data from File > File system and then browse to your sketch - hope this makes sense.....
