Project cut edges error

Hi,

 

I found a weird thing with the command 'Project Cut Edges'. I'll explain what I did. I made a new part and added a derived part. This derived part consists of 2 beams (see top left picture in attachment) (these beams are NOT Content Center parts, but I drew the beams myself, so it would be the same if I drew just rectangles as beams). The beams are at a specified distance of each other (see top right picture in attachment). I added a sketch on the YZ Plane and clicked on 'Project Cut Edges' (see bottom left picture in attachment). I added a rectangle and extruded the rectangle. But if I click on the 'Project Cut Edges' item in the browser under Sketch (or I open the Sketch), not all the lines are there anymore. And if I make the distance between the beams smaller, the lines get shorter too (and vice versa).

What is wrong here?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Dominiek

You are trying to cut material off of surfaces. Try this. Rmb derived part and click edit. I see currently you have surfaces mode. So, select solid instead.Hit ok. You extrude should work now.

Hi,

 

I do not want to cut anything, it's just an extrusion of a rectangle (I needed a feature to show the problem).

The problem stays the same when I change surface to solid.

This has been an issue for a very long time sometimes it works other times it don't most don't.. I stay away from it I just project the edges and stay away from project cut edge. I know this don't help. But just maybe just maybe in release 2050 it will be fixed.....................

Thanks for the reply!

 

In the meantime I already did what you suggest, just project the edges myself (with project geometry) instead of using project cut edges. It works for now, but of course I would like the project cut edges to work correctly.

Yes I agree it should work. But to let you know when it did work I found issues with performance...
