Inventor 2021.2 New Feature

[Anonymous]

I have installed the new Inventor update "2021.2".

I have a question about the "Property Panels" in the "Productivity Enhancements" section.

I didn't see in the animation in the HELP how the behavior of the taper parameters has changed from before.

Does anyone know? (I see the same behavior as 2020.3 and 2021.1)

Hi AAA_Design,

Thanks for asking about this!
It looks like I failed to get a critical piece of information in the What's New. The enhancement is around the use of extrude with the To/All/To Next termination options. 

Previously, the Taper HUD would display even when the field did not have focus. So it was modified to activate the HUD only when the field has focus. 

I'll go back and update the What's New to include that info.

Thanks again!

Hi Bill,
Thanks for the reply.

I compared 2021.2 and 2021.2.
The behavior of the HUD being active in field focus was the same in both versions.
I'm waiting for a HELP that can clarify the behavior.
Thank you.

Hi AAA_Design,

They say a picture is worth a thousand words... so a video must be worth millions!

The attached mp4 (zipped because I don't have permission to upload videos) shows what I'm trying to explain...

Cheers,

Bill

Hi Bill,

Thank you for your help.

I was confused when I saw the help, but now it's clear.

This is an easy-to-understand video.

Thank you.
