Intuitive Learning by Alias

[Anonymous]

Since 80percent of the time immediately after the measuring activity we are doing a constructing activity so Alias should intuitively fill the requirements during the constructing activity as it knows the values previously measured.

An example for the above Idea-- When im filleting a component, and refering a older model for the fillet size and i measure the older model for the chordal value, radius and continuity. Now my next activity is to construct a fillet, but alias by now knows that i have measured a chordal value, radius value. Hence when i use the surface fillet tool to do a construction activity, Alias should by Default have the values in the dialogue box which i had measured. So it helps to save my time in remembering and keying the values.

Very interesting idea! But it might be difficult to put this "intelligence" into place, working for all and not just one tool. The other way round might be easier to implement: how about starting the fillet tool, and instead of putting in a radius, you could also select an edge of an existing fillet, and Alias puts in the value for you then?

Yes would be a very interesting thing. I guess it should not be difficult. Because when we measure things we are using tools from within Alias. Therefore Alias knows what we have measured, and it must be programmed to store data measured as Distance, Radius or Angle and put it on the places for Gap, Fillets and Drafts.

It could be extended to Shaders, when we are modelling with Render sketch the shaders from the rendered image must be automatically in the place. 

I think iam asking TOO MUCH....
