Special Features: Sweep, Loft and Wrap

Wrap Feature

As its name implies, this feature allows us to wrap a sketch around any face

and add material, remove material, or split (divide) the face. In this lesson we'll

learn how to create a cylindrical cam, and how to wrap a text sketch onto an

irregular surface. To wrap a sketch on a cylindrical (or conical) surface we need to

add a sketch on a plane tangent to the surface we want to make the wrap on.

14.1. -The first step is to create a cylinder to add the wrap feature to. Make a new

part using a template with Inches and three decimal places, add this sketch on the

"Front Plane" and extrude it 3". Be sure to add a Sketch Point at the top of the

circle; this point will be used later as a reference to create an auxiliary plane.
