Malcolm Crowe Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Within the new 3D Curve tools of IC2022 I can't find the previous tool "Create Smoothly Connected Curves". How can we create tangent 3D curves within IC2022? Malcolm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary OConnor Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 We are working on it. Trying to get it resolved in the SP1. Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Crowe Posted November 22, 2021 Author Share Posted November 22, 2021 Thanks Cary. That's good to know, as it's important for some of the work we do. We'll need to keep using IC2021 for that work for now. Malcolm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Crowe Posted February 22, 2022 Author Share Posted February 22, 2022 We (and another user we know) are still having to use IC2021 because of this loss of functionality in IC2022 (which hasn't been addressed in SP1). During Beta Testing on 28th September I also posted the following bug: "3D Curve - Fillet Doesn't Remain Tangent to Original Curves". Both of these issues are important to us, and remain an irritation having been lost in IC2022. Are these still being addressed?

Cary OConnor Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Hi Malcolm, In the SP1, there are two fillet types. dynamic fillet and fillet/chamfer. The dynamic fillet is the old fillet tool and behavior. The fillet/chamfer tool is the new one which will still have the alignment issues. Have you tried to use the dynamic fillet? It should have the old behavior and should remain tangent. If you do not see that tool, you will need to clear the XML files. Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Crowe Posted February 22, 2022 Author Share Posted February 22, 2022 Hi Cary, Thanks for the update. No I can't see the new "Dynamic Fillet". I'll try what you've suggested regarding clearing the XML files. What about the previous tool "Create Smoothly Connected Curves"?

Cary OConnor Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 What about the previous tool "Create Smoothly Connected Curves"? - That one is not yet solved from what I can see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Crowe Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 I'm guessing that 2022 PU1 isn't far away from release. Will the "Create Smoothly Connected Curves" tool be restored in this next release? Some of us are still needing to use 2021 PU1 because of this lost functionality in 2022.

IronKevin Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Looks like that fix didn't make it in PU1 but we are looking for a solution, maybe a hotfix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Crowe Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 Thanks for the reply Kevin. The ability to create tangent 3D Curves isn't just a "nice to have", but is a "must have". So when that was lost with the changes in IC2022 it was a critical tool that was lost for users who need to work with 3D Curves. I have an IRONCAD client (on software subscription) who hasn't been able to upgrade from 2021 PU1, because all of their boat hull designs involve tangent 3D Curves within the construction of their models. Restoring this functionality needs to be a high priority. So hotfix please. Malcolm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary OConnor Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Yes we understand. There is work on the 3D Curve still in development. For example: Adding constraints to drive the curves is in the works. This tangency is more likely to come from that work versus the old method. We will talk to the team to see if it can be a hotfix or not based on the development they are taking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
