I am getting this message on two of my designs when I try and view the object in 3D: Error:

The selected line must be inside the outermost light color boundary line (created from other views). Please revise the design.

The design is exactly how I want and need it to be! Also I am having trouble changing the position of each section of different diameters. There is a certain sequence they are supposed to be in. If anyone knows whats wrong with it or how to fix it it would be greatly appreciated.

Hey I hate to hijack your post but could you tell me how you made the splines.



Try the attached part to see if it is what you wanted.



As for the question to the circles in different positions if I have very many at all I always use the revolve feature here or in a differ ant CAD program. It makes it much more reliable IMO.

I broke apart the circle into twice the amount of splines i needed and then did the same with the inner diameter. and thanks. what did you do? and how do i change the positions of each section because they are out of order?

Your comment about splines is not clear. "gobigracing" moved the top view region into bottom view and all bottom view regions into top view. What section order are you looking for?

ok so i split it into two pieces. i need the 19.350 mm in shaftA diameter section to be against the 13.5 mm section in shaftB all the same order.

i am putting two posts so you can see both parts.

and to clarify about the splines: i made 2 circles and used the line divide action. then i connected each intersection and deleted the sections i didnt want.

thats perfect! how did you do that? I was thinking of basically building the shaft out of grooves. and i just looked at your machining and it looks like that is what you did.

I used 2 grooves on one of the circular lines.

"Thanks, using the eMachineShop software was easy, even for a novice. I was able to quickly design my part, select a finish and quantity and get a fair instant price quote. I look forward to getting the finished parts and hope the end result is as good as the remainder of the design and ordering process."
