Yet another AutoCad Inventor Question...
Im full of ideas short on expertise with the program that can probally do what I want. Basically I want to make a Y pipe tip for my truck. I made one by hand and came out great. All free hand, but took a while doing it. Well I figured since I have this program, maybe I could do it in pieces, rip each section down the length of the "tube" and make a flat pattern, print it, wrap it around the tube and mark it, cut and weld.. Well I found out real quick.. well 1.5 hrs into it Im not making any progress.
Basicallly, the Y pipe is made out of 2.5" tubing. Say for the long single leg, is .. say 4 inches. then there is 2 small tubes that go from the single to a 45* angle outwards for say... 2 inches and then has a 45* cut to make the extensions parallel to the single. all in all it would be 5 pieces, only the first 3 would need to be in autocad as the 2 legs are strait pipe.
Anyone thats familiar with Inventor and patience with want to lend a hand for the inexperienced... lol
