save reference plans

[mareforza10]

Bye to all,

I am a pro-e user, but I am learning thinkdesign from a few days with the 2008 version.

the thing with which I have not yet come into tune is the use of the work_plane.I don't understand why the datum planes don't stay in the tree of history and especially how they're represented as surface planesThey're not even transparent.

I am afraid I have not yet learned the true method of using plans in td.. Perhaps reasoning in the pro-e method is not suitable for td?

or maybe the methodology is such and what to pro-e, just use the datum plane? workplane is just an additional thing to activate various plans?

I made the path backwards, I started with think, passed by swx and landed at pro/e ... and less bad ...
However, I do not express myself on think, I abandoned it in 2006 and I do not know if in the meantime they put in place all the pussies that were there.

It's... If I could choose, I would continue with pro-e, but in two weeks I will begin an internship where only thinkdesign uses.

in any way do you mean that there was also plan management among the bandits?

 

[maxopus]

Yes... think design starts only from the front floor, the others you have to create them... and they are the datums you see in the form of surfaces.
or you can use the faces of the solids you create with the first extrusion.
At the time, I'm talking to you in 2006, there was not even the function of a party or a coincidence with the edges.
the sketch constraints you have to stick with the hammer... and it's a mess when the geometry of the sketch is complex, it's not like pro/e, which creates them automatically and doesn't even wield them with the d9 of the caterpillar.

It's a difficult life but... strength and courage, for the loaf there are those who do worse jobs.

in many cad systems, in particular in solid modelers, the user performs the sketch on the active sketch plan. in the application of think3 the concept of sketch plan, called work plan, is wider, but also datum plans are used extensively.

the analogy between sketch plan and work plan is that the xy plan of the program's work plan coincides with the well-known sketch plan.

Starting a new model, the work plan coincides with the absolute reference system, or a sort of central point of the three-dimensional infinite space. This position is called the world reference system. After moving the work plan, the input will refer to the new position of the work plan. if you want to use the world reference system, you will need to set the work plan again on that position.
a common mistake is to confuse work plan and datum plan. the datum plan (see datum plan) is a "auxiliary plan" displayed in the model history. a datum plan is typically defined to define a plan that you need to control at parameters level through, for example, the distance from the flat face of a solid.if it is necessary to carry out the sketch of a datum plan, it is necessary to insert the work plan on the datum plan. since the datum plan is controlled by the distance from the face of the solid, changing this quota, the datum plan and its work plan will also be moved.

(ref. thinkdesign manual)

with regard to the allego constraints those available grossly in line with other mcad environments

@maxopus

eheh thank you for the thirst for reality.

I thought I didn't understand this td, but it's just like that.
...it seems that they have committed themselves to doing so, it would be so little to make it more efficient. but maybe it's just a matter of habits

I'll adapt, if it's okay with the studio, I'll be fine with it.

thanks:finger:

Is the sketch of a part finally related to an external part or has the situation remained unchanged over the last four years?

I make an example:
I have a set consisting of two bushings;
the first bushing has diameter 20;
the second bushing I create it starting from a sketch related to the first inserting a offset share of -2 mm on the diameter.
In this way I will have the second bushing diameter 18 and if the first is modified, the second bushing will follow the modification (if the diameter of the first will be modified in 24 mm, the second will have a diameter 22).

I used it until version 7 (the ver.7, not 2007!), i.e. a life ago.

Sincerely, I've never had that kind of problem, and I've never been able to do something I had in mind. the problem really tragic at that time was the chronic instability (two commands and saves, two commands and saves, two commands and "ooppsss, the memory could not be "read"....).

most likely you are trying to use in t3 the same methods learned on pro/e, error that I did even when I went from t3 to solid edge.

 

[mareforza10]

maybe maxopus meant at the level of together, but being able to add references of features other than what is being created is something that seems fundamental to me. . is it possible in td to add references of other elements?

@cacciatorino

you are right is always so to change software. . Also passing from solidedge to pro-e, the latter seemed to me, as to say, too airtight.

It is in fact that immediately pro-e appeared reduced to the bone with few elements that permet to do everything. td seems more arzygogular perhaps in an attempt to make it more human.

cmq is true, too soon to speak.

I agree with all that hunter said
