Stock Definition

[BrianP.]

X4 MU1. When I set up stock definition I get nothing. Display stock gives me nothing. Go to run verify and use stock definition and its not right. Don't think I had this problem before MU1. Anyone else having a problem with stock definition?

How did you set it up?

 

Check to see if it is in 2D or 3D when setting it up. Happens to me sometimes when I forget to put it in 3D.

Check the color of the bounding box too. Could be the same or close to the background color.

Update. Seems to be only doing it on a flat geometry. If I create a flat square and do bounding box I get nothing. If I make the geometry 3D whether through extrude or translate join I get stock boundaries. Does not matter whether I am in 2D or 3D. Looks like I have to give it a thickness in Z.If I manually type in a Z thickness I get a stock boundary. Never noticed this before.

That's correct Brian. If your geometry has no depth, you will not get a 3D stock unless you give it a Z value. Then you'll need to adjust it in your stock settings

 

I sometimes put a point at the depth I want
