Re: Routing curve & Control point curve - Introduction of two new features for 3D curve creation

In fact we pushed a subsequent update where there is a choice of triad axis alignment:

Re: Can I put dashed lines on a drawing?

Hello. I'm feeling a bit frustrated by this. I was trying to follow the suggested method here, but then I discovered that this only works for parts, not assemblies. I want to simply draw a box to bring attention to an area on the assembly, and I'd like to have the box drawn with dotted lines, so as not to be confused with the actual line drawing. The fact that one cannot manually add lines with at least some form of dotted, dashed, etc., characteristic seems incredibly inept to me. Yes, work on getting the tools to be smart and do this the "right", and while you're doing that, leave me some decent dumb tools that can allow me to pick up the slack.

If there's something that I'm missing, I'd be delighted to be informed.

Yeah, Bad design. It should add if add is checked. Otherwise it's not intuitive. Consistency over confusion.

Can't Undo Unpacking a Folder

A very minor thing, but I found I couldn't restore a workspace to before unpacking a Folder, which I did by accident. It says that my Main is already up to date with before the unpacking, and so the option to Restore doesn't glow.

Re: Derive Assembly Sequences from CAD for Documentation

@max_wittstamm089

Looks useful, and addresses a frequenly occurring task, though I cannot hear the audio that probably explains it. I'll have to create installation manuals for a little product ou ours, so I'd be interested.

Re: how do i create a solid from these two sketches

i want to make a enter key cap. so de top sketch needs to match the bottom sketch outlines. I hope i can make myself clear.

Re: how do i create a solid from these two sketches

Close the sketch on Plane 2 horizontally at the bottom, forget about wall thickness for now, extrude the single resulting sketch surface, then use the sketch on the Top plane zu cut it to shape or rather just remove the corner, add the fillet to the cutout, then use the shell tool to hollow everything out.

Re: Why is it not possible to "Derive" a part from "Standard content"?

It is technically possible to derive a standard content part.
They are just public documents that are not available in the normal search context.
I made a quick featurescript to show its possible. The problem is that its a bit of a pain to setup for even just one part, you need to run a few API commands to get the information required.

If you are desperate for a work around, put the standard content into an assembly, create an in context part studio, and then linear pattern the part into a part studio.
