Managing length of display of work features (Planes & Axis)

llorden4 — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 09:10:02 GMT

I am familiar with the Auto-Resize option for Workplanes & WorkAxis, I skipped 2022 but now that I'm on 2023 I'm finding some behavior differences in how these features are displaying on screen and the new performance is making it difficult to communicate with others when it comes to visually displaying alignment features. As a small sample for this discussion...

While on a video conference, I am unable to display the alignment of these holes with an Axis to visually show that all are (or are not) in alignment. There are other options to display this (such as a measure tool) but not everyone on the call is going to quickly pick up what these values mean vs seeing a line or plane visually passing through key features.

So to focus on the point of the discussion here, are there any other options for adjusting the length of display for these work features?

Hi Leo,

When Auto-Resize option is turned off, you may resize the work geometry by dragging. I am not aware of other means. I am wondering if creating 3DA/MBD may help in this case.

Many thanks!

I wasn't able to resize the WorkAxis in any way with a drag option.

I'm not following your reference to 3DA/MBD.

Hi Leo,

I just wondered if adding 3DA/MBD would help signify the work geometry or related geometry.

Many thanks!
