Adding Draft in Solidworks.

Question

I have a cylindrical forging laid horizontal in the die and I want to create 5 degree draft on the faces. Solidworks draft feature won't let me model it look elliptical at the parting line as it truly would be. How can I do this?

Answer 1

The simplest way to overcome this issue in Solidworks is with the help of the already available documentation and tutorials found on the Google Search engine.

I created a simplified search query that will list the correct procedures to manage drafts in Solidworks. The Help pages provided by the Solidworks developers also contain the required information.
