[Open .3dm files?]

I wouldn't bother. My Rhino Trial expired and IronCAD will no longer convert the files. A really big pity, because getting a Rhino license just to convert files seems to me like a waste of money.

[2D Shape Sketching in Center of Assembly/Part]

There is feature in Tools called Section Part/Assembly.

 

First select Parts/Assembly from the scene or Scene Tree/browser.

 

Go to Tools, click Section Part/Assembly and select the Selection Tool Type from the list like Block.

 

Go to Section Options>Define Section Tool to position the desired block to cut away.

[2D Shape Sketching in Center of Assembly/Part]

Hi All,

 

I'm new to this forum, but the answer to this question has been bugging me for a while.

 

I'm quite new to Ironcad, and I've only been using it since February. So there is a lot of tricks I haven't learnt yet.

 

My problem has been that when creating 2D Shape sketches with larger assemblies with different parts etc. I have yet to find an easy way to hide the obstructive assemblies/parts.

 

As I have the most experience with Catia, I'm wondering if there is a similar solution in Ironcad. In Catia, when in sketch mode with a plane that is inside of a part, you are able with the push of a button to "cut away" the part which obstructs the view in front of the plane. This also hides other assemblies etc and when pushing it again it show them once again immediately.

 

The reason I need this is because sometimes I have to draw on large assemblies and parts and I need the parts visible in order to sketch their "outlines", but only behind the plane I'm currently trying to sketch on.

 

I would like to thank replies beforehand.

 

Regards,

Dylan
