Curves from planes

Recommended Posts

I need to create a bunch of 2d curves on a part that is very prismatic with 3 different angled surfaces. So what I've been doing is been using CAD - Creating features - Section. I'll pick the surface I want to create, then use a space point to get the sine and cosine values to plug into that nominal plane, the move it where I want it into the part (model), intersect it and create my curves. This works fine, but is time consuming. Does anyone have a better (faster) way of doing this?

I feel the same pain doing the equivalent job.

The CAD department has powerful software and no time, so we use flint stone axes inside CALYPSO.

Sorry, there is no better way.

But honestly, it's a real shame! Because ACIS is a full-fledged CAD core with loads of possibilities. It's only Calypso that doesn't utilize its full potential. Of course, Calypso is no CAD software, but a bit more CAD-like convenience wouldn't be asked too much.
I demand that the same amount of developer enthusiasm that is put into PiWeb Reporting is also invested here.
