5.4. - For the second feature we'll make a "Revolved Cut." As its name implies,

we'll remove material from the part similar to a turning (Lathe) operation. Switch to

a Front view and select the "Front Plane" from the FeatureManager. From the pop-

up menu select the "Sketch" icon as before to create a new sketch on it. Draw the

following sketch and be sure to add the centerline. This is the profile that will be

used as a "cutting tool." The centerline will be automatically selected as the axis of

revolution for the cut.

The reason for selecting the "Front Plane" for this sketch is because there

are no flat model faces that could be used to create the sketch in this

orientation.
