SpaceClaim 2011 Release Notes

SpaceClaim 2011 Release Notes
You can now blend from segmented edge to segmented edge along a non-segmented guide edge.
Previously, the software did not recognize the segmented curves as one curve and the blend would fail.
Other editing tools
You can now select a split face to replace:
When you use the Split Face tool, both x and y dimensions are now displayed when you dimension from a
midpoint. Prior to this, only one dimension was displayed. To dimension from a midpoint using the Split
Face tool, hover over a midpoint of an edge and hold down the Shift key until you see the midpoint with a
purple parenthesis around it. You will now see two dimensions from that midpoint.
You can now use the Fill tool to fill a chamfer on a surface.
You can now select the Extend intersections option in the
Combine tool to calculate partially intersecting surfaces as
intersection curves, and then extend these curves to the next
likely edge so that the underlying surface is completely split,
as shown in the figure on the right. The setting for this option
is maintained throughout your SpaceClaim session.
When using the Combine tool, the Keep cutter option is selected by default.
When creating a shell with the Shell tool, click the new Complete Shell tool guide to create the shell and
automatically reactivate the Remove Faces tool guide. This change allows you to create multiple shells
within one Shell tool session.
A Complete tool guide was added to the Project tool.
You can now Project a cylindrical surface and the end faces of a cylinder onto a
face. Select the Project tool, and then click the edge or face you would like to
project. You will see a purple line as a preview, shown in the figure on the right.
Depending on what you select, you may need to choose the Select Direction tool
guide to display the preview in the correct place.
