Summary


Details

--------------- 
 The main issue is that the part is not a solid. The automatic Spun Outline 
function does not work on sheet bodies.



Solution

 To do this. 


1- Start Manufacturing 
2- Select-Menu-Tools-Lathe Cross Section 
3- Create your cross section. 
4- In Manufacturing- for the Turning Workpiece you can use Specify Part Boundary. 
5- Use the cross section curves to create the part bounday. 


While Lathe Cross Section will work we would highly recommend you 
purchase the translator so you can have solid models to work with in the 
Turning module. The system will create the spun outline from the solid model. 
This should save time and prevent human error creating the boundaries from the 
manually created cross section.
