I'm trying to convert .stp files to bent plate but it isn't going as expected. I have received STP files produced out of TEKLA Steel Structures. Tekla doesn't do a very good job at detailing bent plates hence why I'm trying to do the conversion. One of the files (p1312) did goas I expected...
Thanks for your reply Harold. After I thought about it more it makes sense to do it in sheet metal even a part without a bend for what I was trying to achieve.
I am modelling a plate part that will ultimately be cut out on a laser. This plate will be mounted ~30° diagonally against a R.12" cylinder. The plate is going to take on the radius of the cylinder and I want the plates edges to be 90° normal to surface. I assume that even though there is no...
This works perfectly...I was trying to create a custom view but was trying to eyeball my part level but your first steps took care of that. Thank you for your tip.
This has been happening to me ever since I finally did an update from V21 to V27 (Full Version). What I found that fixes it until the next part edit is to go into any constraint say an offset type and just toggle between my offset value and either the ±.100 increment of the value and toggle...
I just updated from V23 to V27 and it still gave me the same issue. However I used your clever work around and got the result I wanted. For me I was placing and angle dimension on a part that is sitting on the face of a square tube and it wants to take the angle line way outside of the detail...
