The mass comparison was slightly different. It only took about 2 minutes including erasing the default shaft members that come in with the generator. I thought the part process would beat the complexities of the Design Accelerator, but I was wrong. Garin set his position by splitting the Length offset, but I ran mine centered. If you haven’t used the shaft generator lately, perhaps you should take a look. There are a great deal of features packed in here, including Keyways and retaining rings. Then I added the through hole and chamfered its edges in 1 step. I cranked up the shaft generator and got busy. I added a cut extrusion from that through all. Then I selected 2D sketch, selected the work plane, and then constrained a centered circle. I picked ‘Work Plane’, then selected one the XZ axis, and then the outer body of the extrusion. For those that are struggling to learn Inventor, the hole was created on a sketch on a work plane. I created the part with the standard extrusion, plane, sketch and cut process. I am mostly interested in how long either process will take. I will run through it both ways: as a simple extruded part, and Garin’s Shaft Generator. Perhaps using a Design Accelerator is overkill, but in many cases people are not comfortable using the Shaft Generator, and don’t know there are added functions and options like a through hole. Garin wanted a shaft with a chamfered hole in it. Let’s find out just how efficient this process was. This time Garin’s decided to find a way to use a sledge hammer to drive a thumb tack. Sometimes they have him so busy that he cannot update his page often, but when he does, there is usually something interesting in there. I was going through my RSS feeds, that are backlogged, and I ran across Garin Gardiner’s page again.
