Re: DXF/DWG Import from Illustrator Not Working
"Very well" is perhaps a bit of an overstatement. As long as the DXF is made up purely of straight line segments, and the number of points is under a couple thousand, "reasonably well" is better phrasing if you take into account that you won't be able to fillet or chamfer the edges derived therefrom the vast majority of… -
Re: How to punch holes in existing extrusion
Hi Wayne, Many thanks for your help! Almost right... the circular holes are ok, but there are also supposed to be 'cups'/segments taken out at the board edge, to match the board itself. (This style of board is known as 'Castellated'). Can you guide me on how to use extrude in this case -- as I said, I tried RTFM but I… -
Re: how to extrude a surface up to another surface
Extrude 12 is failing because the "terrain" doesn't cover the entire area so in some places it has nowhere to "stop". Add a "move boundary" before you thicken (or I don't even know if you need the thicken at all?) so that the terrain is larger and it works: -
Why is the circular edge being used in my sketch as a defined shape?
I am trying to create a flange on the bottom of a revolved part but one of the faces (bottom) includes the circular edge while the top does not. In this part, one of the extrusions fail because the surface does not intersect with the rest of the part. What am I doing wrong?… -
Shell command not intelligent enough
Would like to ask about the level of comprehension the shell tool has. Every time I go to use it it fails because of self intersection of walls, instead of just... not shelling those areas. This is already implemented in other cad programs. I just want to make a cut away of one face up to a multi-faced end; a flat face and… -
Re: Hex/square Nut hole-inset generation
Hi folks. Small update for the issue described in previous posts whereby the feature will fail if a sketch is used that a body was extruded "up from" rather than "down into". Example:- The old version would work fine on left hand body, but fail on the right. Features would be created below the sketch rather than above it!… -
Bodies define geometry, entities are the instantiation of bodies !?!?
Over the past couple days of learning the basics of FS I kept writing queries that didn't work. They made sense to my mental model of the dataset I was querying on... but obviously I was wrong so I would scratch my head, form a new model that kind of incorporates the new info and continue. Fail & repeat this cycle a few… -
how to use `queryString` in feature data?
I want to parse a CAD parameter data, including sketch, extrude, and chamfer, etc. I first got the feature data, and it seems that the queryString in it can help me get further information. But now I don’t know how to use queryString, can anyone help me? Thank you "featureType": "newSketch", "btType": "BTMSketch-151",… -
Re: How to fix the roration sweep along a 3D Spline
The lower Grooves were applied to the outer surface, I wanted to apply them to the inside surface. I also tried extending the shape before wrap but i couldnt get the spacing right for the shapes to merge cortectly. When I added the extener rectangle, the wrap and the extrude fail. -
Re: How to define a spiral around a hollow cylinder, without "overhangs"
I've tried splitting the helix extrusion using the cylinder face then deleting, and not only it works great but to me this is a more elegant way than using solids to remove. However, the fillet only seems to work on one of the ends (see first image), the other one fails with a "failed to fillet selections" error, but the…
