Dual dimensions in Analysys Results
Posted: Tue Oct 09, 2012 10:58 pm
So here it goes.. this one is simple but a big enhancement for us:
We'd like to have dual dimensions in the analysis results... that is, if the TopSolid file is setup to milimeters but I imported a model in inches, I'd like to measure a feature (Distance, Diameter, Radius, whatever) and get the result in the message area in two different units, one in the file units and another in a unit I set in the software options...
Something like this: (Considering the file units are mm)
Diameter: 300mm / 11.81102362204724in
Because we work in TopSolid in mm but have to import models in inches, the models are brought into TopSolid in the units of the TopSolid assembly (milimeters) but we'd like to inspect to see if the model matches the 2D drawing (Expressed in inches) and if engineering did not make any mistake in the model.
Tks,
Daniel
