don_temple Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 What should I do to a catalog item so it automatically subtracts material from another part when I drop it on the other part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlehnhaeuser Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Don, Create a Intellishape on a host part first that removes material, then drag that Intellishape to a catalog. Its now a "remove" material Intellishape forever. FYI- Whatever properties are assigned to intellishape prior to dragging TO a catalog will be preserved. Ie. tape, shelling, bevels, etc... Hope this helps. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don_temple Posted March 16, 2005 Author Share Posted March 16, 2005 Thanks Tom. Can we convert this to an ER? It would be better if we could create a solid and set its operation to "subtract material" and by that virtue, it would be an H shape or negative shape. It would also be good if we could set the behavior "add material" or "subtract material" when we are editing the catalog item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Ludin Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 IronPRO has this functionality. Anyway, I've always thought that this should be naturally built into IC itself and have filed an ER a long time ago. Im glad to see that this is coming up again.
