OK Micheal, thanks, I've already done a command with moi like what you suggested, but there is a way to make only one file with these alias without making many separated files?

No currently you would need to make a separate file for each alias.

Hi,
I'm glad to see that my request is going through! (shortcuts with two letters)

Hi Micheal, for now I think is also great the option to have the possibility to use two consecutive keys, this can give us a lot of possibility.

Hi Michael,

I hope your are doing well :-)

I've got a quick question for you, is there a way to have filled 2D shapes as a PDF when one saves as PDF? I mean I want to have filled 2D shapes on my PDF file and not just outlines.
Or Moi 3D already has this ability and I am not aware of?

Best,
Psygorn

Hi Psygorn, some of the parts of dimensions like arrowheads and text will be filled shapes in the exported PDF file but there isn't currently a way set up for a regular drawn curve to be filled. If you make a surface out of a closed curve, it will have a background image underneath though.

Hi Michael,

Can I make a wish for such ability :-) ?

Hi Psygorn,

re:

Certainly, but it probably isn't going to happen in the near time frame.

I need a simple 2D kinematic simulator to determine the interference of a moving parts to be machined from aluminum. Moi had a tutorial, a simulation of car following a path that seems more complex than a 2D simulator.
Here is a link, similar to what I have in mind: https://oluchukwu96.github.io/Kinematic-Simulator/. This is not meant to be plagerized.

Hi Tgoy99,

re: 2D kinematic simulator - you might take a look at Working Model: http://www.design-simulation.com/wm2d/

Also I think Blender has some physics simulation but it's more oriented for games.

Maybe Fusion360.

The downloadable code is nearly all Javascript. Basic and very pretty javascript code running on a Canvas. Did not see much physics.
Did not see any licensing information.

PhET has simulation software, but only for Teachers. Seems to be free, with many packages. Hard to tell what it could be used for.
Saw their statement that for $100,000 they will work on a new package.

Working Model 2D looked professional, and pricey, with annual fees.

And while doing other searches, encountered some malware of some short. Seem to be pushing antivirus with popups. Hard to tell these days.

@ Tgoy
A very fun & easy 2D free simulator (a true gem) : Algodoo ;) But you must all build! ;)
http://www.algodoo.com
I can answer to some questions about it! :) (only direct first level - not scripts! ;)





Look the videos of this guy following! ;) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClUIgNQOH-8WRms_awU-47A/videos

Hi Micheal,

I didn't see this so hope it isn't a repeat.

I would like to see shortcuts tool tip on hover over tools, sometimes I forget them and also to check that the shortcut isn't in use, I am daft enough set one twice.

Not sure how practicle it would be but it would be cool, for new users in particular.

Thanks!

Hi Mark, the way MoI is set up there are very few shortcuts defined by default, just very standard ones for stuff like New, Open, Save, Delete, Undo/Redo.

Then you can set ones you want for things that you use frequently. If you're not using it frequently enough to remember it then probably you don't need to have that shortcut and should just use the button instead.

Thanks Michael,
Yes I understand that.
I set a lot of the them and remember most, but swapping between apps and not using Moi for a while seems to be the thing for me.
Anyway just a suggestion, all the best with the new beta.

Michael,

Is there a reason that View > Image > Add places the image on the active cplane, but make2D and File > Import place on the x-y plane of world coordinates regardless of the active cplane?

Hi Peer,

re:

> the active cplane?

I guess the main reason is that View > Image > Add is an interactive drawing command where you pick inside a specific viewport with the mouse and so at that point it picks up not just the active cplane but also a particular view.

Neither Make2D nor File > Import involve picking a point so the difference stems primarily from that.

For import if you right click on the File > Import button it will launch the "ImportPart" command instead of regular Import and ImportPart lets you pick a placement and orientation of the imported object so that will adapt to the current cplane.

Thanks Michael! ImportPart will save me time. By the way, I love how View > Image > Align works.
