making solid dumb

[Yogesh K. Raman]

In X MR1,

 

Can i make associative solid to a dumb one?, cause I got a solid I cannot mirror..... the fillet keeps failing.... currently I'm checking out other options than export/import as parasolid....

You can do it partly

You can use feature recognition to make history tree ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Find Features function lets you find specified features, such as holes and fillets, on imported bricks or other solid bodies whose base operation in the history is "Body.". When you select a feature to detect, you can also tell Mastercam whether to remove detected instances of the feature or to recreate the operations and any associated geometry needed to reconstruct the detected instances of the feature. Removing features is useful when you need to create toolpaths that precede or ignore the features. Creating solid operations adds them to the solid’s history tree, where they can be modified using the Solids Manager. When you create operations, you can also tell Mastercam whether or not to combine appropriate operations by combining selected chains (for holes) or edges (for fillets) into a single operation.

 

When operating on a brick, the Find Features function modifies the solid by removing features and adding operations to its history, while maintaining the modified brick as a solid body at the top of the history tree. The Find Features function only recognizes features on imported brick solids or on brick solids created in Mastercam from stitching, Boolean, or trim operations. The Find Features function will not recognize solid bodies with dirty, invalid, or suppressed operations.

But my guess it would not help .

Try to check solid ,it may have mistakes

Analize feature will help to fid ,where the problems are .

Than heal it .

Or better import your parasoild file as surfaces instead of solid

Would the no history c-hook do what you want?

Terry,

Exactly......

NOHIST.DLL is the answer.

If there is one thing I know about Pete, it's dumb.
