Extrude Shape by Snapping the Surface from Another Part

After selecting an element to extrude, click Pick an element in 3D to extrude up to this element

in the selection panel, then select the geometry to snap on. The “up to” geometry can be in the in-session part or in another part of the product.

Benefits: Extrude elements between in-session and other parts faster.

Publish Natural Shape Fillet Radius and Draft Angle Values as Parameters in Knowledgeware

You can publish a constant fillet radius and a draft angle as a parameter. Various fillet options are available in the selection panel for published fillet radii such as parameters. In addition, various new draft command options are available for published draft angles.

Benefits: Users benefit from easier fillet and radius editing with an improved selection panel. Likewise, editing draft angles is facilitated. After selecting the draft command, the angle is published as a parameter and is displayed under the feature node in the specification tree.

Support for Polyhedral Geometry

You can now apply commands on polyhedral objects, or use polyhedral geometry as inputs.

Benefits: The app is more efficient and robust.
