    vectorworks to solid edge

    in Solids Modeling

    Posted · Edited by Buzz Lightyear

    Hi,

    Does anyone have experience with export from VW to Solid Edge to create sheet-metal parts?

    I'm desiging a frame for a dinning table, relatively simple, just two bends. The company I send the .stp file to said that the thickness of the parts is not they same everywhere. It should be 3mm but they say its 2.88mm 2.87mm on some spots.

    Anybody any experience with this?

    Importing it in solidworks by a colleague went well and every thing was as intended.

    deform > bend tool

    Thanks for al the trips and tricks!

    I want to do it with the bend tool so I can see what happens if I use a perforated sheet of metal with the exact placement of the wholes etc.

    In this way, by using the bend tool, its pretty close to the real thing I suppose.

    And relatively ease to make different iterations with different patterns and see the result.

    Hi,

    Trying to use the deform >bend tool, but not getting it to work as I want too.

    What I try is to let an extrude 'follow' a rounded rectangle, but im not getting it.

    Anybody any idea how to do this with the bendmode?

    Thanks!

    fillet edges nurbs

    Would love to have the possibility to use one of the fillet edge tool on nurbs surfaces.

    - fillet two separate nurbs surfaces and make them in one nurbs surface

    - fillet the corners of 1 nurbs surface so it gets a rounded corner

    looking a bit further there seems to be allot of different tools to fillet, join and connect/combine. It looks to me this can be more intuitive

    Now we have:

    - 2D fillet tool

    - 3d fillet edge tool

    - connect/combine tool (works 2d and 3d)(tool that I don't use allot because very often it doesn't seem to work and I its unclear why, especially on nurbs surfaces)

    - create fillet surface (3d power pack)

    making of a new class in a masterclass

    in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests

    Posted · Edited by Buzz Lightyear

    Often I create a new class by right clicking on the masterclass or a class in the masterclass in the navigation palette.

    I do this because I want to create a class in the masterclass

    I would be very handy if the name of the masterclass was already filled in the next dialog box, and you only have to fill in the name of the class you want to create.

    Like:

    Class - part - material

    table - leg - wood

    If want to create a metal leg is should automatically put in the dialogbox >

    table - leg - (empty) > I can then fill in the blank space and don't have to worry if I did the blank spaces right :-)

    (But there still should be a possibility to create a complete new class without a automatically filled in dialog box)

    Is it possible to get the measurement from a 3d object in a worksheet?

    For instance I want to create a closet and want to get all the different measurements of the different parts in a worksheet.

    Would that be possible?

    And does the orientation of the geometry matters?
