Is there any way to toggle through/filter or get IronCAD to select hidden edges/geometry? Maybe the filter system needs some improvement?
I am having trouble getting the current selection filter (or others in the small pulldown) to select certain edges ... ex. if I wanted to apply a feature or round to a hidden edge.
I notice that if I am using the triball to move a part it will toggle through or highlight hidden geometry.
Any ideas on what I may be missing?

Think I got it.... you just edit the cross section and draw the new profile you want.... correct me if I am wrong...

I haven't been able to get the "curved stock" and " add curved stock " features to work correctly...
I would think that you should be able to simply drop the feature on a sheetmetal edge, but then I haven't been able to create a radius of any type... it's just another flat piece...
What am I missing?

So far I haven't run into any limitations per-say, but just depending on how complex the motion is it may take some time to get them all in , meaning how many individual animation commands will be needed for each section ( or degree or angle ) of motion.
I modeled a crank and rod assembly pretty easily, just took time since I had to think and calculate what the path of the crank end of the rod would take. (big end making a circle while rotating and moving linear...etc.)
Now I am modeling the path for a rotary engine... thats entirely different!

Does anybody know of a way to do an exploded view in a drawing?
I haven't been able to find a way to save a particular view, then use it where needed... I think an option like that would work.

I found this tutorial extremely helpful...You can apply the same "use edge" with the right mouse button click on sheetmetal parts.. This will give more flexability when moving or re-sizing sheetmetal parts with bends, that way you can simply move the bend or sheetmetal edge to the next surface, and have all the features follow.
