Extent of axes

Hello,

I'using Modeling 19.0: axes of symmetry that have been manually stretched, both by means of handles and of the dedicated command, will be restored to their original extent each time the owner view gets updated.

Does anyone share this experience and know if a workaround is possible?

Thank you

Marco

Hello Friedhelm,

nice to hear from you again.

Thank you for your reply which induced me to give an eye to settings (that are just the same as yours) and most of all to other PTC products.

I made a test with Modeling Express 6.0 and an edited axis remained unchanged after updating. General settings were the same, so I came into the properties of views behaving in different ways and compared them.

In the Mode form  there's a frame whose english title should be Updating mode: well, as a first result it seems that a "Limited" 2D Associativity leads to my bad outcome! Setting it to "Full" will fix it.

At this moment I'm yet not sure that other view settings (mode Graphical/Classic, Face precision of graphic mode...) affect the behavior of axes, but now I know where to intervene to solve the issue.

Thank you very much for your prompt and regular reply.

Marco

Hi Marco

unfortunately the oldest version I have installed is 20.0
So can not reproduce the behavior of 19.0.
In 20.0, the symmetry lines remain as I changed them when updating.
After that I did the same tests in Express v8 ,which is supposed to correspond to Modeling v20.2.
Again, no reset to the original length.
Everything remains as I have changed it.

To be complete, I always updated the whole drawing, not just sheet or view.

 

Suggestion
1. try your changes also once in the Express v8.
Then you see whether your problem no longer occurs.
2. compare the settings of the Modeling v19.0 with the picture.
Are there the same settings possibilities?
Are your settings different?

Hi Marco
to be honest I have to say that I still don't see the solution in your post "marked as solution".
IIt's all a bit vague and doesn't really describe what you changed so that the symetry lines don't change anymore when you update the 2D drawing after a change.
Can you describe this in more detail?
Since you don't seem to have an English version and have to guess at the titles, I've attached the settings for v6 + v8 in English.
Does this help you describe what you changed to solve your problem, or is there still an "At this moment I'm not sure yet"?
