Originally the command used the origin of the part to scale, which may not yield the desired results. Scale Feature About Point SupportĮnhancing the Scale Body command recently added, 2011 will offer the ability to scale about a selected point on the geometry. This allows flexibility to define irregular patterns that can be parametrically controlled by the sketch. Using a 2D Sketch that is defined with points, users can drive a features position based on the sketch defined points. Pattern Support For Sketch Driven PatternĪdding additional control and flexibility, 2011 has introduced a Sketch Driven pattern feature. This improves the modeling capabilities to design more complex and related feature geometry. The pattern then will maintain the current offset location as it follows the edge direction. Users can place the features to pattern in the offset location and then select an edge to define the pattern direction. The Edge Pattern Feature has been extended to support the ability to create an Offset Pattern. Streamlined and Improved Existing Functionality Pattern Feature Support For Offset Pattern This automatically sets the Intellishape Surface Reshaping setting without the need to go into the individual feature property pages at a later stage in the process. Extrude Feature Taper SupportĪ new option has been added on the Extrude Command Browser that will allow users the ability to apply a side taper while creating the extrusion feature. This allows the ability to setup a scene with basic rendering properties and then apply the changes to all the parts at a later stage for realistic rendering or just for better visibility. User can change one of the parts SmartPaint settings and apply it to the other 80 parts in a single command. For example: Consider 100 parts in a scene and 80 of them are the same in appearance properties. The SmartPaint "Apply to All" capability will allow users the ability to apply the changes to the SmartPaint appearance properties on all the parts that currently have the same settings. For example: To select multiple edges on a part where some may be hidden from view: Using the Ctrl-Alt, users can select hidden edges and use the Shift-select to capture other edges on the part (to apply a blend for example). Holding down Shift-Ctrl-Alt, you can add additional selections to the current selected group. When using the Ctrl-Alt selection, a dialog will appear giving users a selection list of the nearest entities to the cursor. Multiple Select Selection List SupportĮxtending the new selection option recently incorporated, support has been added for the ability to multiple select when using the Ctrl-Alt command. This reduces time in manually selecting individual components. Users will now be able to shift-box select to multi-select components for various actions. One method of selection is the ability to Box Select areas of the environment to select groups of components. When working in an assembly environment, it is a common need to select multiple components. This list can be adjusted to display a custom number of recent files which will also control the recent display list in the Menu Recent List Display. Improvements to the welcome dialog gives access to the most recently opened files saving time searching or locating recent files when launching the product. In 2011, these 2D sketch constraint dimensions can be accessed in the scene outside of the sketch edit mode to allow easy access to directly drive the geometry. In the 2D sketch environment, users can define dimensional constraints to modify the sketch in a desired manner. Sketch Constraints Accessible Outside Of Editing Mode Users will have access to a direct input note when the feature is selected to directly change the values without entering the Feature Edit Mode. Various features such as the blend, chamfer and shell have been updated to allow direct editing of the values outside of the command editing mode. For example, users can access common sketch commands near the cursor versus spending time moving to the ribbon bar or toolbar when in the sketching environment. Tool-tip commands will appear on the mouse cursor to allow dynamic access to relevant commands without the need to locate these commands in menus and toolbars. During normal interaction in the 3D, users can activate common commands based on the current selection level by selecting "S" on the keyboard.
