UCS

Will I ever be able to define a UCS in Inventor, for measurement purposes
only?

i.e.: Compound Angles

This is a wish.

I hope not. IMO that would be a waste of resources.

Can you not make a workplane?

I agree with this wish. There are two places where I regularly need this:

1) To measure angles of feature planes in kinematic mount assembles.
Work around: create a .idw with views and measure angles = PITA
2) To measure delta placement of projected features on an angled feature
plane (from 2 defined edges)
Work a round: bring the part into a temporary assembly and constraint the
face to world X, Y, Z. Then measure = PITA

I don't think they have done ANY changes to the measurement commond
since they added Deltas way back in R?.

It would not be a waste of resources, but a valuable improvement, IMHO

Between work features and assembly sketches I find I can measure things rather quickly. I suspect if people got a fluent with work features as they were with the UCS they would find it is just as efficient.

The only time I use the UCS nowadays is when I have to redefine it in a
sketch that has lost its reference. I still have it displayed for some
reason, but I will probably turn it off the next time I am messing with
those settings.

You all must design square parts, stacked pretty like LEGO's from XYZ.

We are designing a 37,000 pound 550hp tractor with close to 10,000 parts. I
NEVER look at the global UCS.....................NEVER.

Any questions?

Why not more hp?

Before you assume what people are designing and
how they do their jobs, why don't you tell us what you want to do.

 

Maybe there's a way to do it and you haven't found
out.

 

As far as I remember a UCS is a Coordinate
System.  Why do you need one would be the first question I would
ask.

 

As for myself, XYZ are of no meaning to me anymore
until I get to mold design where Z is the opening direction (but only because
mold designers relate that way).  I couldn't care less if the mold opened
at 45° as long as the constraints were correct.

Tell me what you see here that is a square part?

One of your 425+hp units is putting anhydrous down in my backyard RIGHT
NOW.

I sincerely hope you are doing extensive work on the exhaust system for
the new models... my windows are rattling.
