    Incorrect icon - Displaying lines?

    Yes, it's exactly as you write Max. In the working environment of the "part" it is as user Ken226 wrote. However, I didn't see at first that there is a difference between "sheet metal" and "part". Now after your notice everything is clear. Thanks to user Ken226 for his reply. And thank you Max...

    Incorrect icon - Displaying lines?

    Hello everyone, I have a question. I am using the black display mode as shown in the image below. I think the line sequence is wrong when I want to change the line from "normal" to reference or the other way around. I think the icon should have a full line first and then a striped line. And...

    When...!?

    I like to read about planned news and improvements to the drawings. Because I know many people who have left competitive software (at a similar price level), just because of the poor drawing tools. Or just because of a non-permanent software license. Even though other manufacturing documents...

    Keyshot - Rendering settings

    I've only been using rendering more for a while. But many people appreciate it because it gives them a more realistic view of the product. I'm sure these practices would be appreciated (not just by me), and certainly the recommendation of some basic workstation parameters (although I understand...

    Keyshot - Rendering settings

    As I wrote above due to the advice of people here on the forum and a short study on the internet the pictures already look pretty good. I was just surprised that there is no visible difference between the images when I use higher number of samples. Now after your reply I understand that I would...

    Keyshot - Rendering settings

    I've uploaded the model pack, if you want you can try to set up your render to compare the results. I'm attaching images with the render settings.

    Keyshot - Rendering settings

    Hello, I'm attaching a .bip file and two rendered images. For both of them I used the default KeyShot settings just assigned the materials and changed the lighting to Product. For the first one (001-001.1) 20 samples were selected (rendering time about 2 minutes). For the next one (001-001.2)...

    Keyshot - Rendering settings

    How surprised and pleased I am by the response to my question directly from the CEO. It is true that I am trying different types of lighting. And the lighting called Product gives nice results. Only in some situations I don't see much difference between using for example 50 samples and 200...

    DXF export

    Hello, everyone, because I am not a computer programmer but rather a mechanical engineer, I turn to the more knowledgeable people of this issue. My question is: Is it now possible to create a script that can create a DXF file of a unfolded shape of a sheet metal part (or even a normal part -...

    Disappearing edge marking for the flange

    1. Create a sketch. 2. Create a 3D solid. 3. Edge selection and sheet metal bending 4. Moving with the view using the 3d cube (now still no problem). 5. Confirmation of the selected parameters (sheet metal bend is created). 6. Option to edit the flange in the 3D model tree. 7. The...

    Disappearing edge marking for the flange

    Description of an example workflow in sheet metal part mode: 1. I create a sketch, for example, a rectangle 2. Using the sheet metal function and selecting the appropriate parameters, I choose its thickness (a 3D solid is created). 3. Then I create a bend using the flange function (choose the...

    Measure tool - again.....

    Maybe one more point to improve the measurement. When measuring I would like to use the cube in the upper right corner to rotate the view, for example normal to the plane (axis alignment), or for some other reason I would like to use the view cube. However, when a measurement is made and I...

    Make input-windows flexible

    Hello, OrjanB is definitely right and this change would help him a lot to make his work more comfortable. But I can think of one thing I would like to ask for your attention. Because sometimes I am forced to create many DXF files from developed sheet metal parts (only outer contour edges are...

    Keyshot - Rendering settings

    Dear HaroldL and Simonb65, thank you for your answers and for the time you took to respond to the question. Simonb65, thank you for your specificity. Now the rendered images really look a bit better.

    Keyshot - Rendering settings

    Dear all, while viewing your pictures in the gallery, I was surprised how nice pictures you can render. Can anyone provide some basic settings for the render and the minimum number of frames needed to make the result as beautiful as in the gallery? My edges are usually not that sharp and the...

    Bend - Curved surface

    Thank you for your work and for your time. You understood it and did exactly as it should be. I have two questions: 1. How do you get from standard sheet metal module to common modeling (for example, extrusion type)? I can switch from a normal part to sheet metal, but on the contrary I don't...

    Bend - Curved surface

    When you download the attached model, bends are created in that cut-out area of the component. In other words, if you imagine that you would cut the downloaded model roughly in the middle and the cutting plane would be parallel to the XY plane, a shape would be created as in the attached picture.

    Bend - Curved surface

    I will add that then after SW I want calculated unfolded pattern.

    Bend - Curved surface

    Hello everyone, I would need advice on how to make bent flanges on the enclosed part. The bends should look like the attached picture. The requirement is that the sheet is round and not bent into pieces. While searching, I came across the fact that the SW is not able to make bends on a curved...
