SW and comical sketching

Philippe Carette Jun 28, 2011 7:45 AM

After some funny moment about 3D sketch and assemblies, I just discover another funny sketch : the intersection curve.

If I define a surface, and then a plane, the intersection feature is laughing like a drain so much that the program forgets to build anything.

If I define the plane BEFORE the surface, then Horatio is coming on the stage, and spout with a deep voice : "That was the question, Hamlet, that was the question".

And the intersection curve appears, like by magic.

Moral : before using SW, have a training course of clown.

Amidst your bad corollaries, I can't understand what your issue is.

As a side note, I seem to be pretty successful at using intersection curve. I have yet to attend clown school; that may have to wait until a mid-life crisis.

I have no problems generating Intersection Curves in either 2D or 3D sketches.

In a 2D sketch the sketch plane is automatically the interection plane being used.
In a 3D sketch, it doesn't matter which element I select first. Or even if I preselect the elements before activating the Intersection Curve tool. The curve is generated without problems or lag.

Did you try doing a search on the forum for Horatio and Hamlet? (I had to do it before the post hit risier jumped in..., you kow the one, posts Did you search? to almost every question...)

Clown school isn't all it's cracked up to be, to much drama for my mama.

Cheers,

Alan
