Question

What happend to draft analysis - BOTH SIDES?

Straight draft in my crude example picture, but I put the "direction" (representing the parting line) in the middle, so when I would normally pick the "both directions" button, and I'd see negative draft colors on one side.


Creo 3 M090 does not have a "both direction" button, and until I can find it or the like Creo is not providing accurate draft analysis.


I've been using draft analysis in Pro for nearly 20 years. What am I missing today?

Creo happened. The new analysis tools Baaaaalllow!

I have not used 3 but you may want to look at the fly-out within the Draft Analysis fly-out after it appears and see if two sided was added back to the options.

This was BOTH SIDES option.

PTC - Where is this now?

I believe that it does both directions by default.  What are you expecting to see that you are not?  Your image looks right to me.  Everything in purple/blue is at least 3 degrees positive draft.

Both sides...when the highlighted top plane is selected...would highlight a natural split and change color at that selected plane. Right now, it shows a straight pull via the direction of the datum plane but without being able to pick "Both Sides" it does not show what would be the split at both sides and identify where I have negative draft.

Draft the entire side wall and try that again using the same top (middle) datum as the direction/parting line! You'll then see what I am referring to when you hit both directions.

I got my consultant involved as well, as I wanted to know when and why this was removed. Signed point to the functionality being moved to the Cast/Mold extension, but this is not yet confirmed with our own eyes.

Direct from PTC;  "...this "both sides" option has been made obsolete."

It looks like this actually happened back in Wildfire 5.  See the last comment from this discussion here: RE: Draft check in Creo Wildfire 5, what happend?
