I've pushed solidworks very hard over the years and have found it to be a bit on the saladworks side of the fence with parent child relationships not holding as they should *compared to Creo But overall it's not so bad.

Ill bet it's me but I get differing results when trying to make a surface extend in UG. Sometimes the surface extend gets dislocated and becomes disconnected. I would imagine there to be several settings there too.
1 strait extend with respect to an angle. G0
2 a G1 or tangental extend...
I got it to work once but there seams to be a global setting someplace that only lets users change line type. I want to change the color too. It's simple Im sure.

Im haviing a spot of bother driving parent child constraints with respect to splines.
What Im trying to accomplish is an Industrial designers trick of proving form. For example, Ill build a structure of parametric curves then tie 3 or 5 degree splines to those sketch structures as a separate...
Creo calls it freestyle
I forget what Catia calls it???
Maya calls it Sub'D
Inventor purchased the T-Splines
The programmer speak is Sub Divisional Surfaces
how about calling it SDS or FOAM < and coming up with a killer acronym for FOAM
Form Outer Area Manipulation
or
From Outer Astro...
Does UG have the sub'd functionality such as the T-Splines plug in or Freestyle in Creo or Catia?

yea. my brain is wrapped up in Creo - Pro/E world for so long. In my effort to be careful to not make a reference to an improper feature I would go into insert. I did play with re-ordering quite a bit. I feel comfortable. Top Down design is next ;) WAVE
I like learning ;)

hey john. you a huge help. I administered a Pro/ENGINEER class in Cyprus CA to Yamaha in 2007 or so. It's cold in Chicago this week for some reason as if it's not summer. I am a little handicap-ed w/o an insert function. In a previous post you mentioned a way to insert a sketch up in the...
how can I edit my post? I was trying to add a picture to it instead of adding a new post.

I located the offset a curve function in sketcher mode but unsure how or if I can offset a curve that is a previous sketch. Im modeling a rod from a piston and rod assembly. I want to core out the rod shaft using surfaces by extruding or sweeping to a curve. I have one curve feature on each...
John. Awesome!
For the First part in the assembly... I am having problems re organizing it in 8.5 to look instead at the coordinate system. It's rotated slightly and when I create a drawing of the assembly the template has it rotated slightly the same as in the assembly... otherwise I...
Is there something I'm missing with the interface to allow insert mode like in Pro/E or Solidworks? In Pro/E I want to drag the red arrow up so when I add a feature it stays where I insert it. The work around which Is what I would teach is to add the feature at the end and reorder the feature to...
