Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES The name of a constraint displays when passing the mouse over that constraint. V5R8 Balloon

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES Constraint Display Mode A new Display mode option lets you display only the name of the constraint ( or parameter ) at creation: V5R8

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES Hide/Show in Contextual Menu outside Select Command It is useful to hide/show elements in any command. 1 V5R8 2 3 Select any command. In this following example, the Edge Fillet icon. Before Selecting element to do the 3D fillet, you can access in contextual menu to the Hide/Show option Hide the Body.2 in order to make easier the selection Select the Edge Result :

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES Axis System You will learn new ways to create an axis system Defining an Axis System Axis Rotation Type Axis Angles Type

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES How Defining an Axis System This task explains how to define a new three-axis system locally. An axis system is composed of an origin point and three orthogonal axes. There are always two ways of defining it: either by selecting geometry or by entering coordinates. Selecting Geometry Standard: defined by a point of origin and three orthogonal directions (by default the current directions of the compass) Entering Coordinates In V5R8, you can choose from different types of axis system : Axis rotation: defined as a standard axis system and a angle computed from a selected reference V5R8 Euler angles: defined by three angle values computed from the initial X, Y, and Z directions

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES Axis rotation Type 1 First, select Origin 2 3 Select axis and reference element - 45 deg Z Axis Reference V5R8 Select the command or click the icon

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES Euler Angles Type Axis System defined by three angle values computed from the initial X, Y, and Z directions 30 deg V5R8

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES Measuring Between You will learn enhancements and new capabilities related to measure commands Measuring Between Measuring Items Calculation Mode Automatic Update

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES Measuring Between 1 Click on Measure Between Icon 2 Define how to measure 3 Select the reference and target elements Ergonomic Enhancements to select the Measure Mode : V5R8 Between : measure between defined reference and target item Chain : target item as the reference item for the next measure Fan : fixes reference item selection to always measure from this item

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES Measuring Items 1 Click on Measure Item Icon Click the Customize… button to see the information that is available for each type of element V5R8 2 We can measure the Perimeter of Surface

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES Calculation Mode Exact else approximate (default mode): measures access exact data and wherever possible true values are given. If exact values cannot be measured, approximate values are given (identified by a ~ sign). Exact: measures access exact data and true values are given. A warning dialog box informs you if the exact measure could not be made. Approximate: measures are made on tessellated objects and approximate values are given (identified by a ~ sign). Choosing the calculation mode, three methods: V5R8

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES Automatic Update Use the Keep Measure that appears in the Measure Boxes The result will be kept in the tree All the Following Measuring Tools are Associative : -Measuring Between -Measuring Item -Measuring Inertia You only have to Update them by the contextual menu : - You can update all the measures by clicking right on the Measure root folder, then Object - Or update only one of the Measure sub-folders clicking right on it, then Object New Settings about Update are available in Measure Tools tab in Tools Options menu : V5R8
