gsidana Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Hi All, Some more questions. When i am taking printout of drawings of gear tooth profile (in 20:1 scale) then the tooth profile which i am getting is not smooth ...ie.. it is curve shape formed by 3 to 4 straight lines. I want to increase its smoothness ., How? Thanks and Regards Amit Bose Hope Technologies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Andersson Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 In 3D scene: -Select the part. -Part Properties/ Rendering. Change value to a higher one like 70. -Update your ICD You can set the default value in Tools/ Options Robert Andersson Solidmakarna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsidana Posted April 3, 2004 Author Share Posted April 3, 2004 Hi Robert, Thanks for the suggestion. I ve tried that ..even if u increase the surface smoothnss to the max ie 72 it does not work . Just now i tried by reducing the surface deviation to .001 then it worked to perfection. Thanks a lot and if u have any suggestion for my other problem of calculating the arc length/ spline length in the sketch mode then do reply. Thanks and regards AMIT BOSE quote:Originally posted by Robert Andersson: In 3D scene: -Select the part. -Part Properties/ Rendering.

Cary OConnor Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 Two Things.... 1. You can set the Surface smoothness to a value higher than 72 (the field only drag to that but you can enter higher numbers if you want). 2. The drawing has two modes. VHL (Draft Quality) is a facet based representation of the drawing (default drawing mode). Changing the surface smoothness in the drawing will affect the representation on the drawing in this mode. PHL (Precise or True Representation of the lines, arcs, and splines) can be turned on by selecting Ctrl-Shift-B on the drawing. This will draw the true mathematical representation of the geometry (changing the surface smoothness will have no affect). This will give you the smooth lines you desire.
