Add, via Rotation

3-D Standard > Process with sketch > Attach > Add, via rotation

You use this function to add a revolved solid to the active part, the two parts being Boolean-unioned. The revolved solid to be added is based on a 3-D sketch.

To add an extruded solid, proceed as follows:

1. Select Add, with rotation as cross-section motion.
2. By activating/deactivating the Segment checkbox, define whether you want a partial or full rotation to be performed. In the case of a partial rotation, activate the Dynamic checkbox or specify the start and end angles.
3. If you want to use an existing sketch, click the Select sketch button and identify the sketch.
   To create a new sketch, click the Create new sketch button. HiCAD activates the Sketch tab. Create the sketch you want.
4. Click the Select rotation axis button. Identify the axis in the drawing.
5. Click the Preview button to display the result. With dynamic determination of the rotation segment, use the cursor to define the angle of rotation and then press the left mouse button (RET). You can then still correct the angle.
6. Click Apply to add the part.

(1) Original part, (2) 3-D sketch, (3) Rotation axis, (4) Added part (full rotation)
