Difficult to select node; parameter setting possible?

For instance: trying to measure distance between two points in an assembly. I use the Work Features macro for measurement. Perfect for the job! Planes are obviously easily selectable, lines are bit more difficult, but the node where the lines and planes gather is almost impossible to select. You hav...

Re: Another approach to assembly solver (A2plus)

You should delete the complete A2plus subfolder in your Mod directory and reinstall the workbench.

Thanks kbwbe, this is the solution :mrgreen:

Re: Another approach to assembly solver (A2plus)

am a little bit confused. If activating the option "enable recursive update..." in A2p prefs, you will see this additional icon Activated the option, still using V0.18 (screendumps: above kbwbe, below mine + content of pulldown A2plus) Image 2.png - Apparently "enable recursive updat...

Re: Another approach to assembly solver (A2plus)

Thanks for your info guys. Additional comment: For me, i do not recommend FC0.18.x anymore. If you are doing some transitions, you should directly switch to FC0.19. It is much more performant and already very stable, if you are using the standard and well known features. Ok. I want to do this right ...

Re: Another approach to assembly solver (A2plus)

Still using FC V0.16 and Assembly2. But making small steps to A2plus V0.4.39a (using the Addon manager) and implemented it in FC V0.18 version. Quite scary to ruin all the parts and assemblies already made the last 2,5 years :? :?: Is there already some solution to update assemblies from Assembly2 t...

Re: Shrink filesize clone

Thanks chrisb.

Is does the trick. The file shrinks from 11MB to 7MB. Quite a lot, but still also quite a large filesize.

The is no macro or something like that that creates a simple shell?

Shrink filesize clone

Hi! Sometimes you have to test an assembly(1) inside another assembly(2). I would love it if the result doesn't get sluggish (this can happen with large assemblies). I am searching for a solution to create somekind of clone of assembly(1) which is 'hollow'. Nothing more than the outer shape of the o...

Re: SOLVED! Part vanished... or not?

And another discovery: if the filename is ok, but somewhere in the path an "&" is present, it also does not function!
For instance: C:\&\file.jpg will NOT work

Re: Part vanished... or not?

Thanks mate! And furthermore I would recommend to use a current 0.18 or 0.19 version. They detect these overconstraints. Furthermore they alow usage of a master sketch, which you seem to simulate with a lot of construction geometry. In the near future (I am saying this for more than 6 months now :D ...
