OFFSET feature in creo parametric.

actually wat I was asking was,

wen I offset a surface, the extrude done from that surface should also move na.. but in real case that's not happening.

like wen i go bfore the extude and offset that surface, the extrude remains same.

it's happening that the extrude remains there itself and the surface only moves.

similar to offsetting the surface after the extrude.

actually i hope u alll didnt get wat i'm asking here..

as u see in the above pics,

the cyllinder is extruded from the surface in first fig., after that i take insert mode before that cyllinder extrude and select the surface and give offset 500mm.

so wat i'm asking is wen i go bfore that cylinder extrude and offset the surface to 500mm then wen i resume the extrude it shld be still from that surface only rite ( means the length of cylinder should be 1000mm only )

if NO, then it is equivalent to keepting insert mode after the cylinder extrude and selecting the surface and offseting.

wi both cases are same is my question.

the video was good. but the thing is if u have more than one extrude on the surface and u have to move the surface so that all the features shld move along it wat will u do???

AND

Doug Schaefer

wat u said is correct. i agrree.

but wat i'm asking is, then wat is the difference of offseting the surface before and after that cyllinder extrude ????

both giving same results.

my arguement is wen u select the surface after that extrude, only the surface other that the extruded part will get offsetted.

but if u go bfore the extrude and select the surface, then u'll be selecting the complete surface rite. so the extrude shld also be offsetted.

simple example is like,

u have a wall i ur room and u have a wall clock and a AC fitted to wall's surface.

now

if u remove the clock and AC, move the wall and then fit clock and AC.

or

u keep clock and AC and add some wall material,then only it will submerg the clock and AC..

hope u got my point.
