Tangent Draft

[ptc-87011]

How do you create a tangent draft about a non linear drafting plane, that has unequal geometry on either side of the drafting plane and you can only add material with the draft. The draft from both sides, has to meet at the same drafting line. Any ideas ?[/img]

You have several options depending on the particular situation that you are in. For starters though I wouldn't be applying draft before your edge rounds. What you have described appears to be something that you can do with a draft split by an object (ie a surface that defines the parting line). You'll have to pick one side or the other to define the draft angle, usually the longer side. In instances where this would fail you can always fall back on creating your draft with a variable sweep. But that will require some set-up and forethought. And you must remember to create a primary trajectory to maintain a normal orientation of you section.
