    good video card for pro engineering

    I second FrankCorona's post. I mirrors my own experiances.

    Getting a datum point's coords in relations?

    Thanks but outputing files to disk isnt really elegant either. I have made some progress through. I was previously using 3 induvidual measure analysis features per datum point. However I see that if you just measure the distance once and then go into the definition there are 3 normally...

    Getting a datum point's coords in relations?

    Hi all, Many of the algebraic expressions I use in my relations require the 3D coordinates of specific datum points in my model. At the moment I'm using an analysis feature containing a distance measurement to obtain each of the datum point's 3 coordinates induvidually. This seems like an...

    Surfaces of revolution from arbitrary quilts?

    I found a much simpler solution: -Intersect plane through axis with surface. Create intersection curve. Create datum sketch curve in this plane referencing the axis and the intersection curve. Draw a circle with axis as centre point tangent to the outer edge of the intersection curve. Repeat as...

    Surfaces of revolution from arbitrary quilts?

    Good suggestion. Thanks. I will try this. As you say the faceted solid wont be very attractive but that can be worked around by splining a curve over each facet element! [thumbsup]

    Surfaces of revolution from arbitrary quilts?

    Lets assume I have an arbitrarily shaped quilt located some distance away from a CSYS. The quilt is orientated roughly normally to the CSYS. You can imagine that if you spun this arbitrary quilt around, say, the Y axis of the CSYS a surface of revolution would be synthesised. Something vaguely...
