I'd even say the move tool should then only provide those move options actually available.
Today, it looks like you could move wherever you want until you try. Then, it will only move in the non-constrained direction. Should the user try to move in…
Moving Constrained parts in Spaceclaim:
I suggest that once a component has been constrained the Move Tool should appear at the axis of the constraint--if more than one constraint exists then it could jump between them--and allow only rotation and…
Wow, how much have I learned! ;O)
We just bought three more Spaceclaim seats, and I'm trying to introduce the colleagues to using Spaceclaim now. Funny how they have difficulties with mostly the same things I had. Here is a selection of reactions I…
Frank,
I would like to see an enhancement regarding the center of gravity axis.
I assign materials (agree with Martin's observation regarding assigning materials), measure the mass and see a very small 3 way axis showing the center of gravity. I w…
Hi Frank,
I commented on this before as well.
In Rhino and other apps it will be possible to 'fly through' a tube for example and inspect the inside.
Just try with SC...its not possible to for example ENTER an objekt like a windengine-housing, ship…
Martin,
We are doing the recursive top-down graphical property setting -- though it is getting very close to the cut-off for the release -- will keep you posted.

Christopher -- take a look at R6 when it comes out in July -- there will be a ton of new assembly constraints functions in there, including the things you are asking for. Let us know if you like it.

Constraints/Building Mechanisms
Missing functionality:
Spherical joints
Constraints that follow surfaces--cams
In addition it would be very useful to have a way to construct mechanism geometry using joints as blocks rather than defining each joi…

Poorvesh Mistry said… - Hello Frank, thanks for all your replies, comments & blogs, those had been always encouraging.
I would like to know more of PLM and its integration in SpaceClaim through xPLM. I hope you would spare some time to help me in this case.

Hi, I saw this concord name and remembered that awesome aeroplane model......which created a history.
I m an experienced Engineer animator ! ( interested n concept & scientific visualization). Plz. have a look at few of my samples. I hope you like them.

Thanks for the reply.
1. I have played around a little bit with it. It's a very powerful tool for selecting elements with in solids, but doesn't work at all with components. It would be nice if that selection tool would find attributes of a compone…
Hi Dennis,
1. Did you notice the selection tab under the component tree? You might want to play around with that one and see what it can do for you.
4. You can move any direction you like, but you need to use the move tool. I know Cinema4D as quit…
As a drawing is always referring to a certain component, it will by default include everything within the component. It would be possible, though, to create one more drawing and hide those elements not needed for the purpose. If you go on with your…
Thanks for the reply.
1. This worked. Although I would like to see something similar to Rhino's selection filter. Where you can filter out certain elements before you draw a selection box. For instance if I wanted to just select components it would…
I was thinking of something similar to Microstation's clip volume. Although maybe I am thinking about wrong. If you have a large complex assembly and want to show a detail of how 2 parts fit together without showing all the other parts around it. Ho…
Hmmm... I could not find any anomalities in SC 2010 so far. I think the hierarchy driven alignment preferences have always been ab bit ugly. I'd prefer if the alignment direction would be defined by the sequence of selection. The object selected fir…
In former versions I did not have any problems with it. But with V.2010 it is unpredictable. I agree with you Martin that the anchor constraint wil work but it is extra mouseclicks and I do not believe this is the way it is supposed to be.
These are the choices you have, no depth. Never heard of that one, though.
Martin
1. right click on model -> select -> component/body/face
2. no, except they are all inside one big component.
3. No, unfortunately, except for mirrored ones, as the mirror plane will appear as you select them.
4. by adjusting the move handle so as t…
I don't think there is a setting. You can use the anchor constraint to prevent one component from moving, though. I f you don't specify anything, the lower in hierarchy component will always move towards the higher (=closer to root) component. So, b…
