WPONG Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Finally doing some drawings in 2022. a couple issues. 1. Circular feature dimensions not updating: I've seen this a few times now, (hammering, don't have time to recreate and isolate too much but hopefully the below is substantial). when i create a new dimension for two circular features doing the following 1. Shift-click (circular feature) 2. Shift-click (2nd circular feature) 3. Finish the dimension 4. Edit properties of the dimension, change to Maximum / Maximum to get the dimension from outside tangent to outside tangent ... Then the value displayed is still the old center-to-center dimension, 5. Edit properties of the dimension, change precision ... *Then* the dimension updates to the correct value I've attached a couple screenshots. (sorry they are mess -- it's been a re-attachement-fest with a modified part where linear dimensions have turned into angular, etc). One is right #4 (red dim "2.13"), then one is right after #5 (black dim "2.795"). Very unnerving. makes me wonder if other dimensions are actually updating... 2. Difficulty picking features for dimensions This is more qualitative and some things have changed (now I'm on a larger monitor): however It seems more difficult to pick features for dimensioning. some of what I've been doing a. Trying to pick breakpoints on circular features (not sure of the official term, but places where circular features are actually broken into 2 semi-circles) -- the 'point' is very difficult to find -- I've been tweaking the annotation attachment window (default was 3). I sometimes have to hold my cursor off to the side of the desired feature to get the point to light up... b. Trying to pick silhouette edges (niggling voice says that there is a setting for this, and maybe in my upgrade I've lost that -- feel free to remind / guide me here) Thanks again, --Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKevin Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 For the arc dims, looks like that will be fixed in v2023. As for the picking, please send sample files and a video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WPONG Posted November 14, 2022 Author Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) 1. Re. arc dims: thanks. Good to hear 2. Re. picking: 2a. This may have improved with a PC reboot and restart of IC. (perhaps a restart of IC is necesssary for the mouse-aperture changes to take effect?) 2b. There are two dialogues that seem to pertain to drawing mouse aperture. Can you line me out on which does what? pic's attached. Edited November 14, 2022 by WPONG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WPONG Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 Any wisdom on the various mouse aperture settings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
