assembly constraint

[TracyWillis]

Is it possible to set the assembly constraint to default to "Coincident" for any 2 selections made?
I use that type most often, and 90 % of the time I have to make extra clicks to change it from normal or some other assumption.

In the config.pro, I have the following so parts always default to coincident and then if I need to, I change to offset constraint.

Is there a way for text sketched in a cosmetic sketch feature to display the pattern index number of the feature?

Ie, I need to scribe a scale on a part with one inch increments from 1 to 36 and would like to create a feature with text that will varry when patterned. There should be a way to do this using the "memb_i" parameter, but I'm not sure how to use that here.

My 2 cents is:

thicken works and does provide a good tool for defining constand thickness parts (we make deep draw sheet metal stamped parts).

If a thicken feature fails try "options>exclude surfaces" and see which surfaces, when excluded, allow the thicken feature to work.

Make sure all the radii are larger than the thicken feature (only matters when thickening the radii inward)

The biggest help when thickening complicated surfaces is play with model accuracy trying to get the tightest possible accuracy.

Good luck,
