Push Pull Re-anchor bugs

HughesTooling — Fri, 04 Sep 2015 09:57:07 GMT

Re-anchor doesn't seem to work too well with push pull. I've recorded a screencast to demonstrate, the first problem is after selecting the face to Re-anchor to the offset doesn't update until you start to drag.

Link to screencast.

The second problem is if you try to enter a size in the input box the Re-anchor is ignored and the original anchor point is used. In this image you can see the offset from the new anchor point shows 30mm but the input shows 10mm. Surely the 2 sizes should match.

Thanks, @HughesTooling for reporting this. It has been filed as FUS-19790. I'm sure this used to work, we'll get to work on fixing it.

Just thought I'd let you know, it works perfectly in Direct Mode. Also why is there no option to use move on individual faces when record history is on. Move in direct mode also lets you select more than on face at a time.

Thanks for the info on Direct Modeling. I'm sure it has to do with creating the parameter in parametric. Good to know.

As to why Move doesn't work on Faces in history (parametric) documents: File that one under "just haven't gotten around to it yet". There are a few features that are not yet "parameterized", and this is one of them. Partly, the issue here is that the Move (Body) feature is not very editable today. We want to re-do that one so that you have access to the individual translates and rotates in the Move, so it is easier to edit them. We didn't want to add Move Face until we had that worked out. Too many other good ideas to implement...
