  1. Thank you guys for your welcome & input. Apologies for not getting back sooner. I figured it out only moments after i sent the query. I used the poly arc tool after projecting the constraints of the top surface/ radius. Then moved that arc to the start of the existing profile and waaa laaa!! See attachments. Just some more info. If you guessed that the drawing was of a bull bar wing you were right. See attachment not finished. On the shop floor we plasma cut the flat profile of the three part bumper and bend it in our pan brake. In order to produce that arc on our shop floor we clamp the 'center' & 'wing' in a jig with its top face against a vertical plane.Once the first half of the "wing is welded to the center we use a hand winch (tirfor) between the two outer extremities to pull the top profile of the outer section to meet up with its mating half. The curved stock is created by pulling the front face around the radius of the top profile thus creating the radius-ed corner. The two halves are then welded together. See finished product. Wes
  2. G'day Guys, I am relatively new to Iron Cad. I am having problems with adding curved stock to a sheet metal design. I am trying to curve the stock in relation to another profile on the top of my part. See Pictures. When i edit the cross section i project the constraint of the top profile/ radius (95mm) and move it to the start point of the original cross section of the curved stock. When i press the finish shape button i get an error saying 'no reference path was found for the curved stock. For the life of me, i cannot work out how to create the reference path. Can somebody point me in the right direction please or possibly even give me a better way of doing it. Thanks Wes
