Power Select was added. This allows you to pick all of one side or direction of a part. We developed this for our customers, but thought ti was such a useful tool we decided to share it. It is a quick selection tool for surface models.

 

#1 Access it by picking it from the drop down at the top of the screen: (Note this can be added to a toolbar using Settings/Customize.)

#2 The Prompt Box on the screen will ask for a seed surface. Using the Master3DGage Tutor Part the user is picking the top surface and all the surface that would represent the top of the part.

#3 The top surface is picked, but all the surfaces that touch or make the tops surface area to the split line of the bottom surface are also picked, but not the countersunk surfaces.

#4 The bottom surface is not highlight so it was not picked, making the picking and changing of features on a surface model very easy.

#5 Using the Alt-E or Hide function in Mastercam the user can not see what was picked and what was not picked to then do with what they want with these surfaces power selected.

This function has the ESC which will finish the selection process. The U key will unselected everything already selected.

 

Enjoy and please let us know if this is something you find useful.

#2 Decide to do one line at a time or all lines. This function take the line and extends it is both directions. The value of 1 is put equally on each end of the line or lines picked:

#4 With all lines picked the results are shown:

Undo does not change them back to their original length, but putting a negative value in will change them back to their original length.
