Enables you to measure shaft geometry in Shaft Component Generator.
You can measure the shaft geometry by selecting cylindrical, planar faces, work planes or sketches. The section diameter and length are read from selected face.
Section length and diameter can be defined also by selection of two cylindrical edges. By selecting planar face or work plane the length of section can be modified.
The second option is to select part/assembly sketch and read the geometry from it. Function ignores chamfers, fillets, or other curve which are not parallel with sketch centerline. To select sketch it is necessary to have it properly defined, it means if you call the Inventor Revolve feature it automatically select all entities for profile and centerline
The sections order can be change by clicking the Flip command.
Sketches are selected by default, to select sketch entity press and keep Alt.
By default, section, features, loads and supports are deleted.
