How to use Revolve in pro engineer/ creo

   The nex best and basic feature after extrude is revolve. It goes this way! The closed 2-D sketch which you draw revolves around an axis(geometric center line in creo) upto a specified angle and creates a solid or a surface you desire.


Here you go!!

• Select [File] --> [New] from the menu bar. The dialog shown below will pop up.

• Uncheck use default template option and pres ok,select units mmns/inlbs based on your requirement.

• Select the revolve option from[insert]--->revolve or from the side bar.

• You can always edit a sketch by going to sketch option or clicking on define on placement as shown

• Now select the plane and the direction in which you want to sketch and press sketch as shown

• Now comes an important thing you need to define! Yeah...you are right...you need to give a center line about which your sketch rotates.

• Proceed with drawing a sketch(*closed*) on any one side of the centerline(can draw it on either side also but should be symmetric...otherwise 'sometimes' you get an error).

this is my sketch with a horizontal center line

• Press the tick button
