Hi all,
Does anybody have a macro that does the below function?
I tried a couple macros I picked off this forum, modified them a bit, and they failed under all but one circumstance.
So nothing so far has helped me.
Here's the Macro Function that I need:
FIND THE OVERALL LENGTH OF A PART PERPENDICULAR TO THE PART'S PROFILE, AND SEND IT TO AN iPROPERTY IN THE PARAMETERS.
The macro that I like the best from this forum does exactly that ONLY with out-of-the-box CC parts.
But as soon as I modify a CC part by changing the profile plane, the macro quits working.
So it's very limited, and now Inventor is forcing me to return to my old method of using work features + a sketch. Needless to say, that's a MEGA waste of time and energy for a function that SHOULD BE a native to the software.
Anybody have anything like that they wanna share w/me?
TIA ...
