Enhance: Extend/Retract Cylinders, Open/Close Cabinet Doors etc.: Enhance Assemblies which use parts in 2 positions (motion) or use flexible parts: Enhancement needed

Enhance: Extend/Retract Cylinders, Open/Close Cabinet Doors etc.: Enhance Assemblies which use parts in 2 positions (motion) or use flexible parts: Enhancement needed

Make it possible that 2 or more positions of parts in the assembly can be shown in the same view (for instance the open and closed position of a door in a Cabinet or the extended and retracted position of a Hydraulic cilinder). The appearance of both Positions should be chooseable (for instance the first position as shaded and the second position as dashed line or transparant)

 

Often you want to show both end positions of a movable part (for example a hydraulic cylinders) and add dimension to it on the drawing (retracted position and extended position of the cylinder, rotation angle of a certain movable part (open and closed position of a cabinet door) etc.)

 

In Assembly mode:

- Add a "Position" tab in the View Manager instead of using the current working method by using the snapshot feature in assembly mode

- Update it automatically when for example a new part is assembled, an appearance of a part is changed or the simplified rep is updated

- Make the "Position"- state available in the Combined States

- make it possible that 2 or more positions of parts in the assembly can be shown in the same view (for instance the extended and retracted position of a Hydraulic cilinder). The appearance of both Positions can be choosen (for instance the first position as shaded and the second position as dashed line or transparant)

 

 

In Drawing mode:

- make it possible to show all positions in 1 view. For instance the first position in No Hidden line and the second position in Dashed line)

- The appearance of the positions have to be added to the Drawing View Properties-View Properties tab. In this tab several combined positions which are created in the assembly should be available to choose.
