Hello Group, I am creating a drawing of a cylindrical part that has a knurled surface. Does anyone know of a way to simulate a knurl in a drawing view? Creating the knurled surface on the part creates a very large file with extremely slow rebuild times. Thank you, Steve Hirsh DesignTech Solutions
Sure - easiest way is to select the area to be knurled, then adding a fill / hatch and choose the diamond shape grid pattern / knurl pattern.
I would go with using Hatch as best and easiest method for showing knurl in drawing. For parts, you can use knurl appearance.
And if you want to show the actual, then you'll have to model the knurl. But this might make the part and drawing file heavier/slower to respond depending on the file size and knurl details.
Here are two example from 3DCC
