  1. We can file an ER for that. As you pointed out, if you select a sketch in the Scene Browser tree or in the scene, E will edit it. If you want to edit the sketch of a feature, Alt-E (this saves the step to find the sketch in the Scene Browser Tree).
  2. We don't save the revisions as templates. You would save it on a ICD Template itself.
  3. Hi Tom, Those are specifically for converted splines to allow positional editing (without converting to hundreds of points). These allow you to edit that converted spline where as if it was converted to points, it would be more difficult. This works on bsplines in 2D profiles (edges). Bezier curves will convert to points and these editing points (on each segment - see below).
  4. Yes that would be a good ER. However, it may sit on the sketch still as the constraint is on the sketch level.
  5. Structured parts have an implied constraint when dropping on center points, vertices, and faces. This constraint is added at the sketch level as the typical design approach with Structured is sketches. For your Intellishape, find it in the scene browser and expand the node. Right-click on the sketch below the feature and edit the position. This will show what constraint was added. Note at the bottom of the sketch position browser, there is a Fix to Reference. If you deselect that, it will disconnect that constraint to allow you to reposition it. When you drop it on a face, it will connect to the face, but you can move it anywhere on the face.
  6. Maybe it is your user access level? Try running IronCAD as Administrator (Right-click on the icon and select run as administrator). Change the properties and restart to see if they are now saved. If they are saved, then it may be a user access level permission that you may need to change on your system.
  7. Create the configuration first with the storing position information set: While that configuration is active, start mechanism mode. Move the model to the desired location. Hit the Green Button to accept the position. This will store the part information in that configuration. When you switch back to Default, it will return to the other position (as the Default stores positions). Hope that helps.
  8. In the Shrinkwrap command. change the selection filter (at the bottom right of the screen to Assembly/Part. Select on the desired assembly and a Dialog will pop-up to allow you to select the assembly or sub assemblies. Pick the assembly and select add and it will add it to the Select Parts to Keep dialog.
  9. Using External Links, the behavior of collaboration is as follows currently (without a Data Management System): Example Case: Main.ics is the main scene with an Assembly and two parts under the assembly. Part1.ics and Part2.ics are both external linked files. If Main.ics is NOT opened on a machine. Users on different machines can open Part1.ics and Part2.ics independently to work on the files. If Part1.ics and/or Part2.ics are opened on user machines, another user can open Main.ics and work on the content of that file. If the user tries to edit Part1.ics or Part2.ics, there will be a read-only warning that these have already been opened and edited. Note: Changes to Part1/2.ics from the original users will not appear in Main.ics when saved (Main.ics will need to be reopened to get the updates). If Main.ics is opened first, users will get a read-only warning that Part1/2.ics are in use if they try to open them on another machine. Basically the owning file of the external links will lock out the other files on open if they are not already open. Now if you have a Data Management system, this is different as these systems use the concepts of Check-out on the linked files. So the opening order is not restricted like it is above. A data management system could be Synergy, DDM from CSI, or our CAXA EDM system. Hopefully, that will help explain the link management. Now, I don't want to send you down a rabbit hole, but there is more involved way around this using Shrinkwrap. Basically, users could open a simplified version of the Main file (that refers to a Part1_Simple.ics file, for example). That way Part1.ics is never locked when the main file is opened. However, you either have to keep updating the Shrinkwrap file so that when the Main Simplified is open it gets the latest changes or users will need to know that the simplified is a placeholder and when they need the real update, they open the full model version. One of the nice things about this, it can help prevent modifications from happening in the Main file if not wanted. Below is a video on this.
  10. You could just assemble, then TriBall Copy to the other end. You don't need to save as an external file and import back in. Cary
  11. Dear Customers, We are thrilled to announce the release of IronCAD 2024 Service Pack 1, which is now available for our valued customers! This service pack fortifies the quality and reliability of our latest milestone release, IronCAD 2024, ensuring an enhanced user experience for you and your customers. In addition to bolstering the core functionalities of IronCAD 2024, we are proud to introduce our new Architectural & Viewing Translator (“A&VTransPlus”). This powerful add-on translator expands import/export capabilities specifically tailored for the architectural engineering construction (AEC) fields, now including Revit* and IFC Read/Write functionalities. A&VTransPlus is an additional licensed translator option that is available for IRONCAD and INOVATE only. Note: Customers do not need to have Native Translator prior to adding A&VTransPlus (It can run independently or alongside Native Translator). Revit Write is currently unsupported (see *Note below). We’ve also included a complimentary feature enhancement: the addition of a GLTF write format to the standard IronCAD product. This means that you can now enjoy enhanced export options without the need for additional translator packages. It’s our way of streamlining customer workflows and boosting efficiency. Please contact your local reseller for details on pricing of the Architectural & Viewing Translator. Architectural & Viewing Translator (“A&VTransPlus”) Details The following are the read/write formats versions for the A&VTransPlus: Revit Read – Version 2015 to 2023. Revit Write – Write is only to Revit 2023. *Note: The current release of Revit Write is unsupported for support until a future release update is announced. IFC Read/Write – IFC2x3, IFC4 For the GLTF Writer added to the standard product, the write version is: GLTF Writer – Version 2.0 For more details about the Quality Improvements and access to the latest downloads, visit https://www.ironcad.com/product-update/2024sp1/. Best Regards, IronCAD Team
  12. Depending on the amount of annotations, you may be able to use Transferred dimensions from the 3D to the 2D. That way, you get association and updates from the 3D to the 2D.
  13. We may need to expose that capability. I'm not sure if IC Mechanical can do what you are asking. It can read the document properties but I'm not sure it can set it to a custom property (It possibly can in the BOM configuration).
