Common settings


Automatically project edges on sketch
The parameter when adding a new sketch adjusts the display of the projection of the edges of a flat face taken as the working plane for the sketch.
Call command “Add planar sketch”.

Specify a flat face as a work plane.

Depending on the setting, a projection will be added to the sketch.

Yes No
Layer for sketches
It allows you to customize the name of the layer on which will be placed flat sketches.

Layer for working objects
It allows you to customize the name of the layer on which the objects will be located.

Layer for sections
It allows you to customize the name of the layer on which section will be located.

3D History

Main menu: 3D – 3D History…
Ribbon: 3D Tools – Modeling – 3D History.
Functional panel: 3D History.
Command line: SHOWTAB3DHISTORYNET.
Command line: TABS – select “3D History”.
When working in the 3D-design environment, a functional panel containing the model building tree is displayed on the screen.
Building tree – sequence of objects (actions) that make up the model.

Interface

The build tree contains a set of tools:
Filter Items – massively hides all working objects: planes, axes, points.
Update tree – updates the tree.
Collapse parts – Collapses all expanded branches in the tree.
Update model with regen(3drebuild) – rebuild model.
Update model(mchist3dupdate) – update model.

Objects of a tree

– root folder “GCS” (General Coordinate System).
The following objects are bound to it:
– planes YZ, ZX, XY. By default, they are hidden and have a gray icon

The following shortcut menu commands are available:

  • Hide – hides the mapping of the plane in model space.
  • Show – shows the mapping of the plane in model space.
  • ShowInDocument – focuses the plane in the center of the model space. The command is available when the plane is displayed.
  • Create 2d-sketch – call command “Add planar sketch”. Sketch drawing plane is not necessary.
    – axis oX, oY, oZ. By default, they are hidden and have a gray icon

The following shortcut menu commands are available:

  • Hide – the command hides the display of the axis in model space.
  • Show – the command displays the axis in model space.
  • ShowInDocument – the team focuses the axis in the center of the model space. The command is available when the axis is displayed.
    – origin. Default is hidden and has a gray icon

The following shortcut menu commands are available:

  • Hide – the command hides the display of the origin in the model space.
  • Show – the command shows the display of the origin in the model space.
  • ShowInDocument – the team focuses the origin in the center of the model space. The command is available when the origin is displayed.
    – root folder “Sections”.

The following objects are bound to it:
– Section. Has child objects View, taken from section.
Planar sketch. When applied to it, 3D Operations is bound to an operation (becomes its child element) and the icon becomes inactive. An exception – assembly sketch.
Part. It is a 3D object.

The following objects can be attached to the part:

  • Planar sketch”.
  • Work plane”. Can be located in the root of the tree and enter the structure of objects “Part”.
  • Work axis”. Can be located in the root of the tree and enter the structure of objects “Part”.
  • Work point”. Can be located in the root of the tree and enter the structure of objects “Part”.
  • McExtrudeFeature”. 3D operation.
  • McRevolveFeature”. 3D operation.
  • McSweepFeature”. 3D operation.
  • McLoftFeature”. 3D operation.
  • Union”. Contains the union parts.
  • Intersect”. Contains the intersect parts.
  • Subtract”. Contains the substract parts.
  • McChamferFeature”.
  • McFilletFeature”.
  • McMirrowFeature”.
  • McRectangularPatternFeature”.
  • McCircularPatternFeature”.

The following shortcut menu commands are available for the object “Part”:

  • Edit – calls for editing the first 3D numbering of the body. To the right of the icon appears the editing symbol .
  • End edit – completes the previously started editing.
  • Rename (F2) – allows you to rename the part.
  • Delete (Del) – removes the part and child objects from the tree and model space.
  • Hide – hides the part and child objects from the model space.
  • Show – shows the part and child objects in the model space.
  • Fix – fixes the part in space. You can not move (3D Move), rotate (3D Rotate) or align (3D Align). The part acquires an icon with an anchor
  • Unfix – de-fixes the part. You can move (3D Move), rotate (3D Rotate) or align (3D Align). The parts tied to GCS are fixed by default and can not be de-fixed. Such parts have an icon
  • Suppress – removes the part and child objects from the model space.
  • Unsuppress – restores part in model space.
  • ShowInDocument – focus
