write removing material from a cylinder

[matteoso]

Hello, everyone!

I have a graduated drum of a 25-50 micrometer on which cylinder I have to put the 10 5 mm heels on one and number 0 - 5- ... - 45).
I created a sketch on a floor, used wrap to wrap it on the cylinder and now on my cylinder I find the numbers I wanted.
the purpose is to remove material in order to color the created "solchi" black.
the problem is precisely this: I solved the complicated part of placing the numbers on the cylindrical sup. (I hope that's the complicated part!) and I can't create the "solchi". I tried with trim, project, no longer know which other command but nothing to do
I'm working on the model, I hope you can give me some tips or put your hands on the model.

Thank you in advance!

Matteo

Hello, matteo!
Do you mean something like this?

hello and thank you for having responded!
Unfortunately says it is impossible to open the part (maybe you created it with creo 2.0? I use 1.0)

in that case can you save it in a version that I can open?

Thank you!

ps. I took a look at the preview of the miniature but unfortunately you can not distinguish much.

hi matteoso, jambo has realized 10 tilted planes (one every 36 degrees), tangents to the cylindrical surface.
on each floor realize the sketch of the single number (0 on the first, 5 on the second ... etc.).
jambo created the individual sketches projecting on the plans the wrap curves previously created by you.
At this point you realize the 10 cuts of extrusion of the desired thickness, or realize a offset of the cylindrical surface if you want the cut of extrusion to end on a cylindrical surface.
I also use I create 2, but if save so that you can read it, you lose the tree of the model.

hello max, thanks for the intermediation! :wink:
I had already thought of this method only that it seemed to me that I create had a feature to "use" the wrap curves.
Anyway, it sounds like a good artifice.

I actually thought so:
I immediately created 10 tilted planes to 36° (with a quick axis pattern) and on each one I placed a sketch with the numeral (naturally after creating a series of radial planes to 36° too in order to center the sketches of the numerals to the exact spacing)

I'll be right back then!
Thank you!

the "center" can refer it to the axis of the main cylinder.
