Benefits: Points, planes, or
surfaces are no longer your only options to define the left and right limits of the
input spine. Furthermore, both limits are no longer mandatory. This improves the
user experience.
New Option for the Standard Cutout and Pocket Commands
You can now select the Optimize Geometry option when creating
standard cutouts or pocket cutouts
.
Benefits: Optimizing the geometry improves the
result of the cutout or pocket, by taking into consideration impacts on both the top
and bottom faces. Let's take the example of a pipe going through the sheet metal
body, and let's consider that the extrusion for the pipe is based on the sketch used
as profile for the cutout.
Without the Optimize Geometry
option, you may encounter overlapping issues when creating the cutout with only
the Top or Bottom option.

Geometry selected
With the Optimize Geometry option, you can avoid
overlapping.

selected
When you select Optimize Geometry, you can also
specify a gap between the input surface and the cutout result.
