Screwing Into A Curved Surface

Screwing Into A Curved Surface. Then use intersect faces to make the intersections between the sides of the cylinder and the thread geometry. When using the fasteners workbench, i am able to mate a screw to a circular edge if the edge is on a flat surface, but i am having difficulty.

Erase the skins over the hole inside and out as well as the bits of the threads extending inside and outside the cylinder walls. Use the trim surface feature and your front surface (the one with the two orange circles drawn on it) to trim your circular hole profile. It shouldn’t matter which side you trim.

I have been working on setting up a bolt pattern on a curved piece of plastic but have run into a snag while trying to actually constrain the screw. When trying to mate cylindrical faces (like those on a fastener or pin) to a hole on a curved surface you. Then you’ll need to sketch the rectangular profile on the back surface.
