Super Derive with images

graham_lock

Hi,

I have a Part Studio which contains a master sketch image which I want to derive into a number of new Part Studios.

In each Part Studio I want to transform the derived master sketch such that I can align the origin appropriately for each part.

It seems that Super Derive does not derive images - is this the case or am I missing something - I'm new to Onshape so that's probably the case.

Thanks.

I'm guessing it is not possible to derive from an image, I have also a similar problem in which it does not seem to derive from a composite part (though the standard Derive feature do without problems).
I'm hoping @ilya_baran can provide confirmation.

It doesn't look like "transform pattern" (which can transform sketches) can do it either...
Your best bet might be to use the image FS: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/f7a45d78c374497d37c1d2cb/v/e55cc4b62eaac7ef75039ab2/e/557019cd8b843cc475681faf

Yes, looks like there's some discrepancy -- without investigating, I can't say whether the problem is with the SuperDerive code or something deeper.  We are working on improving the native derive feature to make SuperDerive more or less obsolete, so this shouldn't be an issue too long.

I hope these Derive improvements also make Point Derive and Transform Pattern obsolete. There are many times that I want to derive parts, sketches, etc to a particular position in a part studio.

I'm using the super derive a lot and would be really interested in having that capability with the native derive feature.
One thing I need to ask though is why are the imported mate connectors renamed with super derived and is there a quick change that can be made to the code to keep the orginal names? Just like the derive feature does.
Thanks
