Re: Wrapping on a cylinder Solidworks?

If you do not find success with your task, I am currently in school
where we have Inventor. This sounds like one of the assignments we
were required to do. If you are interested in allowing a small but
determined group of rookies attempt your problem, we may be able to
come up with the drawing and perhaps G code. At the very least it
would provide us with a real-life situation.
