Re: Design intent video (webinar)
@DaVicki I was actually thinking more along the lines of a simple rule applying to all models, perhaps: Any dimension which occupies a single 'niche' in the designer's intent should appear only once in the model. Cody (having eliminated the redundant hole diameters in my graphic, which also broke this unwritten rule) goes… -
Fillet failures
Here's an image of a belt tensioner block for a GT2 belt: Note that not all the inner sides of the belt tooth grooves are filleted; for example, the second groove from the left does not have a filleted right edge. Now, here's what happens if I try to fillet the edge: Note that this forced an error condition. Look at the… -
Suggestion for renaming, relocating, or better describing of "Derived"
For some reason it took me a very long time to understand the use of the "Derived" icon. Maybe it was my lack of a previous background with CAD software (Is derived a standard term for importing copies of parts?). Maybe it was my scattered learning curve with OS because I jumped into this new app with goals that I needed… -
Newbie Question: Extrude in Edit Sketch mode vs. Extrude in normal mode?
Hello Please my I ask some naive questions: Is there any difference between Extruding in Edit Sketch mode or normal (/Part?) mode - How come you can do Extrude (and Revolve) in both menus and does it matter which you use? Many thanks P.S. To be honest, I'm still slightly hazy about several of the core concepts in… -
Re: How To Measure The Resulting "Altered' Dimension After Applying a Draft?
Hi @larry_hawes This is a pretty simple trigonometry problem: Imagine this triangle is you looking along the side wall that you're drafting inwards. You know y, it's the extrude depth. You know x, it's the amount of edge you want to "consume" with your draft. In your specific case .01 a.k.a. (.5 - .48) / 2 You're looking… -
Re: Is there a way to make a copy of a curve or sketch Id
Hi, Kevin: yes, i've gotten some examples working by transforming the letters, roughly as you suggested. When i can pre-compute the points I want , your recommended strategy works. But in many cases, I cannot pre-compute the coordinates to transform to. Consider I have two letters next to each other. I have no way to know… -
Re: Australian Standards - 3rd Angle Projection
@andrew_troup Thank you for your feedback. Your perspective makes sense. Drawings were released early because they were better than the option that users had up until then, which was nothing at all. We agree that we still need to add some basic customizability, so that will be a main focus for drawings in the next few… -
Re: Why do people fear splines?
I'm not sure if I have 'cad career' since it's only a fraction of my work. I have never used or liked acad (or other similar 2D cads), my first touch to cad was some built-in cad in cnc when I was ~12 years old at early '90's. It could manage circles and lines (no arcs) and after placing them, one needed to pick elements… -
Re: Loft?
I think propellers and fan blades are some classic examples of lofts (or I should say "swept lofts"), what would be cool is if you could have a way of capping it off nicely at the end too. Creo has a feature called a Variable Section Sweep, and goes something like this: 1. Create a starting cross section. 2. Create guide… -
Re: Online vs. Offline
I believe there is always a goal to provide the best performance on the client end of things, especially when the connection state is variable. Being able to handle these situations and communicate and preserve the current state of the application is key as well as syncing the work completed when the connection is…
