    Default Wrap geometry around a cylinder?

    Im a newbie when it comes to the design portion of this stuff, but my boss asked me if I could design a part for him and I figured I could get by with a little help from my friends! lol
    The problem I face is trying to figure out how to revolve or wrap geomtry around a cylinder. I want to make this as a solid, and I have MasterCamX9, Fusion360. and Inventor2014 at my disposal.

    I have attached a pic, so you can see what I a trying to do. I need a male and female roller.


    Thanks for looking!

    MasterCAM - XFORM - ROLL

    The settings are tricky but I was able to reproduce what you have.

    Thanks for responding, You are the man! Wrap geometry around a cylinder?-bubble-roller-jpgWrap geometry around a cylinder?-bubble-roller-v2-png

    Anyone else wondering how to do this, I found that under the solids drop down you can use PATTERN > CIRCULAR PATTERN. On fusion 360 you can use circular pattern as well. PM for details if, I would gladly show you what i have learned.
