Trimming Sketch

Hi all,

 

I want to automatically trim sketches. I would like to have one sketch with, for example, a logo. Then, I want to have a second sketch that is the boundary, or the 'trimming' sketch. For example, if I have this sketch text, but I want only the parts of that in the circle, is there a way to do this?

Hi Martin,

Thank you for your response.

Of course, you can do it manually. However, I am looking for something that can automatically trim based on the circle being a closed loop; anything outside of the loop is trimmed, anything in it is kept. I don't want to have to trim everytime I change the text, for example.

Hi,

you can investigate uploaded Creo 4.0 files.

  • open assembly
  • modify text in Sketch 1 in prt0004b1.prt
  • regenerate assembly
  • open prt0004b2.prt

Sketch regions will work for this if text in the sketch is supported, I have not tested it with text.

 

This video explains how it works.

    Hi,

    Sketch regions functionality is available starting from Creo 5.0.

    In Creo 4, you can use procedure shown in trim_sketched_text.mp4 video.
