Thanks, good to know I'm not going nuts (yet)...
For some reason, it's not generating for my file... I'll have to play with it a bit.
Thanks again!
Best regards,

Hi all,
I might be going crazy, but I seem to remember about an option in Drafting allowing to automatically create all the dimension from a sketch... Is this even possible, or am I going nuts?... [ponder]

Thanks for the reply PeterGuy, but it was something else I was after...
I had to highlight multiple areas in a front view and hatch them using various patterns (see picture below).
The 45° hatched area is a flat face and I needed to define smaller profiles within that face. The inner edge...
Hi all,
Back in V4 :-( there used to be a neat feature for hatching management... You could do booleans on the shapes that defined the hatches (i.e. remove a shape from another one etc)... Any similar feature in v5?

Very interesting... It seems that the color is somehow driven by the color of the last feature in the specification tree... I applied a split and colored it and I got the same result as you had by assembling the empty body... It's so weird, I didn't have to do so many workarounds back in R16 (my...
Derek,
I deleted the settings, redone the thing, same result...
It's not an iso203 problem, it is picking up colors, it's just that the color of a subtracted body is assigned to the whole resulting body after the step conversion.
I've uploaded a small file to illustrate what I mean. When I...
Hi all,
This has been a nightmare since working in R18... When we export data to our suppliers (STEP format), we usually assign a certain color to the areas that were changed from the previous version. Working in PartDesign, it's obviously very easy to assign a specific color to a whole...
Sorry, I'm running v5R18 SP7 BN18.
I'm VERY surprised that didn't take care of it...
Haven't used R19 yet, it might behave differently... maybe another one of Dassault's "improvements" :-(
Best regards,

Another variant on a theme :-)
(actually PetterGuy's suggestion is simpler and should output the same result...)
1. GSD extract surface /w tangent continuity
2. Create 1 isoparameter on it
3. Measure the tube radius
4. Create a linear swept surface with the following parameters:
- Subtype...
I suppose you are trying to use the "Control Points" Shape modification of the FreeStyle Workbench.
Whenever you access the FreeStyle Workbench, you should see a toolbar named "Tools Dashboard". The third button on this toolbar, called "Keep Original", is what sets this thing for you. See...
Derek,
It's a longer story... Mainly it's all about time constraints...
We have received some tools from overseas for 13 different parts. We had received 13 part drawings (as pdf's), needing to be translated. No 3D data, and even if we had it, there was no time to redo all the drawings. So...
Sorry, I forgot to mention that...

Just for fun, I tried it in R16 SP9, it's the same (shame :-()...

Has anybody ever used this command at all? Besides the fact that it's not documented (at least I didn't find anything...), the few times I've tried to use it only gave me headaches...
What I'm actually trying to do is to insert a pdf drawing inside a CATDrawing (Insert > Object > Create from...
Eric,
The machine I was using (and I still do, once in a while) is an IBM Intellistation Z Pro, 2x Xeon @ 2.66GHz and 8G of RAM. Win-XP-64, SP2.
PeterGuy, nice "tutorial"... Thanks...
Best regards,
