Hello !
Like an "OLD Thread" said, to select a surface to measure, there is a grafical method :
1. import cad model
2. turn on program mode (ctrl+F4)
3. 3d rotate model on screen to equal how its fixtured on table
4. click on plane face to establish plane and press end on keyboard
[...]
I'd have two questions :
1) When I click on a CAD surface in "Program mode", a "UV Windows" appears, asking me how many points I want to measure in the directions U and V of the surface.
Then, I have to construct the surface with this points.
It is a bit "heavy", because in my program, for a simple plane for exemple, I have the 4 points to measure, and then the construction of the plane (5 lines).
The method above says : "click and press end", not "click and say how many points in U V directions you want".
How could I come back to the method above and directly measure the surfaces without those intermediary points ? : Where could be the little checkbox to check
?
(Belive me, I would be very
if you could tell me the answer !)
2) When I want to select a cylinder, I only select a half of cylinder.
So, it becomes very "non sexy" at all ! Because the student have to :
- select the first half of the cylinder (~6 points)
- select the second half of the cylinder (~6 points)
- construct a cylinder with those two half (~12 points).
Isn't it possible to directly select the complete cylinder? )
Thank you very much for your attention,
Guillaume MARTIN
PS : Belive me, I know that the CAD part is often only a nice picture, and that in the industry, you are working much more quickly without this picture ! But I'd think that at the beginning, most of the students could need it to understand what they are doing ... that's a great challenge too !
