TopSolid IDEAS

Unread post by Gneiss »

hi, i have few ideas for TopSolid.

- make all TopSolid module including design to have the concurrent engineering features just like mold. why is that so by doing so it will make TopSolid much more powerful than any other mid range cad software.
what ever it is for creator of this function. thumbs up.

-secondly,is that possible to make this funny features of mine.
what i am thinking. is that. changing global parameter of the part or assembly.
scenario: one engineer doesnt realize he made his project in inch, after he finish it he realise all his works need to be in mm instead. the only way he can do is make new project / change the parameter one by one. so my idea is that to make global parameter controller. so he can change his inch to mm in one single click.

thanks :D

You can change the properties of a document to switch from mm to inch already. Goto Document properties, the "i" icon right by the save icon, Under Units change it to MM and then under Dimension-Display format change your units to MM. The whole assembly should update to MM, dimensions and all.

Hope that helps

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you trying to do. But I put a video on Youtube showing what I was trying to explain.

Maybe in next TopSolid (6.11) they will include this option in the standard product :wink:
