About a sktech grid that looks good on screenshots (though it is good for not much else)

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…
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…
These are the choices you have, no depth. Never heard of that one, though.

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…
Please read the Spaceclaim forum on Spaceclaim com, I've already explained it there.

I always read about the API and the possibility to build custom Tools. I am no programmer, though I wonder, if there's a place where these tools are available, shared or sold? Maybe there have interesting tools been developed?
Like I said: when I get back from my holidays. You could just go to MySpaceclaim and download it now. That should answer your questions! :O)
Martin
When I get back from my holidays.
It made no sense to get it out any earlier, 'cause I cant use it anyway!
:O)
Martin
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…
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…
I think it is a mix. The assembly tools are a great aid if it comes to place the parts right, though I frequently delete the constraint later on: They build up kind of a history, and that makes moving parts kind of ... 'surprising' if one is not awa…
I case you 'fixed' something here, maybe it's worth checking again: I have seen similar issues to what Fredrik pointed out with the origin not being available for ruler and up-to operations with the pull tool, as well as for alignment with it's axis…
Frank,
are you sure? I don't think so.
Windows Explorer behavior is that ONE click on the arrow or box left of the name in a directory listing expands it and a double click on the icon or name opens it.
So, there is no reason why this should not…
Frank,
I see your point. It appears it is required to keep the numbered sequence of the sheets for reasons of consistency and standards. Standards are nice and the responsibility for not following them must be left in the hands of the individual us…

Could you upload a screen shot of the Options menu in Spaceclaim, where the mechanics option is available.

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…

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…

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.
