Projection of cust logo and supp code incomplete..

[Dave Atkins]

I used to project Logo's , part # etc.. On x-section with 9 no problem.Haven't had to do it with X3 til past Friday. I know the drill.2d contour, ruled surface to project onto. It would look ok in ISO view, but in top view, it is incomplete. The cust LOGO is fine, most numbers are fine but the A would only be partial,for example. I don't get it. This was always a slam dunk with 9.Of course when I quoted the job I said "no problem"

Anything that you did in V9 can be done in X3 (except reverse post ). Can you put a sample file on the FTP for someone to look at? Or maybe a screen shot here at the forum of the problem area?

 

I think a newer feature that was added was to give a max projection distance. Does this part of the A fall outside of that distance, by chance? If so, increase the distance. Just a thought...

Hey Thad,

Sent you an e-mail,thanks!

Dave,

 

I don't have access to MC at home. I'll put your file on the FTP if you tell me what version it's from (so I can put it in the correct folder). I'm sure someone can look at it.

Dave's file is in the X3 folder on the FTP called ENGRAVE PROJECTION.MCX.

Dave:

Since V4 I had the same problem. This is not a X3 issue.

In those cases I follow different ways.

1)I suppose you select the 2D geo with a window. Try to project the A selecting by "single".

2) If you cann change your surface type. From parametric to nurbs or from nurbs to parametric.

3) Be sure the "A" is not on the "rail" contour from the ruled surface. If so rotate the surface. So the A is not at the "beginn" or "end" of the surface.

4) Be sure you proyect on only one surfaces. If the rail from the ruled surface is segmented. For example two arcs. Create from them a spline and use this for revolv.

 

I´m sure one of this solutions will solve your problem.
