I have a part that was sent to me from a vendor. It was a large 80MB part so I put it in an assembly file and shrinkwrapped it to reduce the size of it. Now it is transparent and I can not figure out how to turn it off.
View 8 RepliesWhat is the purpose of creating/using shrink wrap substitutes? I thought that it reduces the file size, but noticed that some files turn to be larger after shrink wrapping it. ?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am a tech illustrator taking our engineering models and creating dumb solids for architects to drop into CAD drawings. When I take an assembly and try to shrinkwrap it (with the Solid Bodies option) the file still has all the internal ribs and fillets and stand-outs. I have created extrudes to fill gaps and holes and even tried to create single pieces to assemble later to no avail.

About Substitute Shrink wrap parts, it doesn't automatic update when I use UPDATE or even REBUILD ALL inside the LOD with it, even if I don't break the link with the assembly it doesn't update, so I have to go in each assembly with Substitute parts ( with are many in huge projects) and then verify with "Check for updates" in the correct LOD (which in some cases are more than one per assembly). Is there a way to update them direct from the main assembly with rebuild all or something like that ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have always struggled with AutoCAD's text masking. I love the masking ability which makes drawings that are clean looking and easier to read. My issue is with the way the mask border is created. The mask creates a rectangular border that does not "shrink wrap" around the text. This can lead to masking more text than originally intended.
I am looking for a quick and easy way to wrap the mask around text. Right now the only way to accomplish the desired result is to explode the text into single lines and then mask each individual line. This creates issues with leaders and is a more time consuming process.

I've found shrink wrapping it as a surface causes problems with the video card when rotating the model and placing views on a drawing.
I have a part that I want to have made by rapid prototyping that will in turn be used as a pattern for casting alloy metal parts. I need to apply a factor to the part to compensate for the shrinkage that occurs when a metal part is poured in a molten stage and will cool to slightly smalller dimensions than the mold. Is there an easy way to do this without having to recreate the part to slightly larger dimensions?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a part which is lets say 10ft long. Now I need to modify that to be 9.5ft. Is there a simple way to remove that .5ft from the center of the part?
I just need a way to cut out a .5ft section in the middle and then put the two remaining pieces back together. Doing this would be much easier than editing the sketches for the part, especially since I may have to change the amount that is cut out and that would change the number of holes and features.
Attached is a picture of the parts i have to edit and some lines to show the section that needs to get removed.

I had sketches the curve and wrap it but was unable to emboss it to the cylinder.

I've found a hotfix for 2012 that I've used to solve some issues with tranparent parts in shaded views and that leads to this question.
In an IDW , "non shaded", "hidden lines removed", view are there any tricks for being able to see parts behind a transparent part?
I know I can change the view to display hidden lines and delete what I don't want. This works ok for a small assembly, but for a larger assembly, is not feasible or at least very tedious.
I have been sent a dwg and I am trying to shrink a group of items collectively.
I cannot find a way to reduce the size of it I have tried scale but I don't want to work out the scale for each group, I tried stretch but its not a single item...

I am testing them out in multiple viewports of various scales and for the most part they work great.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am creating a multibody part. I have revolded a surface from a sketch through other bodies and used those bodies to trim the surface. I then thicken the surface to create a solid.
The solid is transparent and no amount of property adjusting or anything else will make it opaque like the rest of the solids.
in the picture the open scalloped portion contains two bodies.
I have a tag block that calls out details. The attributes are the detail number and the page the detail is located. I was wondering if there was a way that the bounding box around it could grow or shrink depending on the width of the text.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a older graphics program called Picture Publisher. I used this for years until I eventually moved over to PS. The grow / shrink mask tool in PP is easy to use but I cannot figure out how to do this in PS. Take the letter B in the upper left corner. I can use the mask tool on the B and shrink it, leaving me with the outline of the B. I can shrink or grow the mask by indicating how many pixols to shrink or grow. For the life of me I can't seem to do this in PS. Presently I do it in PP then open the graphic in PS wher I can then use it. Is there a way to accomplish this in PS?
