Imprint

 

Overview

IMG_C_ICON_DOT.gifCreate a curve or point on a specified face based on the projected shape.

 

Methodology

 Auto Imprint

Imprint Point

 

Select the imprint face and point. The imprint direction can be set using the following 2 methods.

[Select Direction] : Determine the direction vector for imprint. The user can select the datum axis, datum plane, face or edge.

[2 point vector] : Determine the direction vector that is to be the reference axis of the imprint by entering the coordinates of its Start and End points. The user can also directly click on the work screen to specify the Start and End points.

Check the [Connect two points by Line] option to draw a line connecting the origin point and the projected point.

Imprint Curve

Select the imprint face and point. The imprint direction can be set using the following 3 methods:

1. [Select Direction] : Determine the direction vector for imprint. The user can select the datum axis, datum plane, face or edge.

2. [2 point vector] : Determine the direction vector that is to be the reference axis of the imprint by entering the coordinates of its Start and End points. The user can also directly click on the work screen to specify the Start and End points.

3. [Direction of the Shortest Path Line] : Project in the shortest distance direction between the tool shape and the target shape.

Imprint Auto

Select the imprint faces, lines and points to automatically perform imprint.

If the line passes through multiple solids, using the automatic imprint function divides the line for every solid and the intersections are automatically imprinted.

 

Geometry set

Register the created lines or points on the Geometry set. The user can specify the name of the Geometry set.
