SWX 2007 - Export Pie Slide to STEP format

I have a cylindrical solid geometry (fairly complex) that was imported
into SWX 2007 from another format (possibly ParaSolid). I would like
to take a small pie slice (approx 5 degrees) out of this solid and
export it to step format. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I
could do this? I am fairly new to SWX.

Thanks-
Kyle

 

Kyle,

Just make a sketch with your 5 degree wedge and cut the part with it cutting
the 355 degree part and leaving your 5 degree section. (Check "Flip side to
cut" if it is cutting the wrong part.) Save it as STEP. Then suppress or
delete the cut to bring back the rest of your part.

Take 30 minutes and go through the tutorial in help. The time taken
will be well worth it. As far as doing what you want, it is almost
trivial (which is why the tutorial should be all you need.)

Jerry-

Thanks. For some reason, when I tried that it didn't work, but after
going back through those steps again it worked this time.

I guess persistance does pay off.
