Hi,
I have some problem to rotate a spline in the attached skech1 : I edit thye sketch, Rotate Entities : the spline 6 is in the blue box, the center of rotation is A, a rotation of, saying 20 deg.
Now, I click, and
I get .... not a rotation.
Is there a way to make a rotation working like a rotation ?
To fix this bug is in the pipe for 2014 ?
I hope that dassault stays to build milatary planes, and not civil ones....but I will be very cautious, the next time I will hear a military plane training in the air near my home.
Philippe,
I am not sure if this will work, but try checking the box in the Spline Properties Manager for "Proportional" before you do the rotate. (I don't have SolidWorks running right now, so I don't know the exact words. Won't be the same in French, anyway!) After the rotate commmand you should be able to turn off the Proportional property so that you can manipulate the spline, if you wish.
Don't worry, Dassault doesn't use SolidWorks to design their planes. They use Catia. That code was written by French engineers, not Americans. Of course, that didn't stop Airbus from having major problems because one group of engineers was using V4 of Catia and another was using V5 and the resulting parts didn't fit properly.
