Hi PaQ, yeah the problem is like Pilou shows there, that any particular edge on a surface does not necessarily align in any special way to the isocurve directions.

Here's another example - here is a trimmed plane, you can see the edges are swooping around all over the place:




Yet isocurves from that face come from the "underlying surface" and so are straight lines like so:




You can see there that in the general case there is not really any relation from an edge to one particular isocurve direction, it's only in a special case of an "untrimmed surface" (or an actual isocurve trim) that a selected edge actually maps to one particular isocurve direction.

Something like an "edge slide" I guess would be a somewhat different operation than isocurve generation - maybe something more like offsetting a curve on a surface.

Ho I see, indeed it doesnt really work on this kind of surface.

Thanks for the visual examples !

[QUOTE]Hi Rich_Art, yeah if anti-aliasing is forced on at the driver level it will interfere with MoI's operation, especially for selection.
So for MoI that needs to be set to "application controlled" in order for it not to interfere with MoI.[\QUOTE]

Thanks Michael... Works like a charm.....


Peace,
Rich_Art. ;-)

the geometry library was updated to SOLIDS++ 7.0?

Hi gamisia

> the geometry library was updated to SOLIDS++ 7.0?

It's officially version 6.2 , it's the most current one that they have released.

Step import from Solidworks is much improved!
