Detail views, outlines no spline.

[Luigi_72]

It isi possible create a detail view in which the bonudary is not a spline but a geometric shape (circle, rectangle). Important, i speak the detail view ed not the principal view.

No. It is always a spline. I normally let the circle be created and then redo the spline to fit the circle.

I wish they would fix this, but after many decades, I don't think they will.

You can always crop a view for a rectangle, but not for a detail view.

Fascinating!!! i asked this same question about 18 years ago. My approach to this is the same as Antonius's.

Maybe, one day, Ptc will surprise us with this.

Welcome to the forum, Luigi!

I am relatively new to Creo but find it lacking in many ways. I would've thought a package of this caliber would allow users more options, instead it cripples the design process. Rather disappointed.
