SpaceClaim 2011 Release Notes

SpaceClaim 2011 Release Notes
If you pull an edge parallel to the top of the sheet with the Pull tool, it now creates a joggle, as shown in
the following figure.
Pulling a thickness face up to another sheet metal face no longer makes a separate solid.
When you pull a wall up to an angled wall, the wall now merges correctly to the
walls from which it extends, as shown in the figure on the right. This action no
longer creates two separate walls. Note that the extension and angled wall do
not merge – a small gap is maintained.
You can now create a swept sheet metal wall by selecting a tangent chain of
edges and pulling them perpendicular to the chain, as shown in the following
figure. These swept sheet metal walls can be unfolded.
When you pull an angled sheet metal wall, the neighboring wall is no longer skewed. Instead, it is
modified so that it does not maintain the junction, as shown in the figure.
You can now use the Revolve tool guide in the sheet metal Pull tool to make angled end faces.
Move tool
Moving a wall with edge reliefs no longer distorts the reliefs.
You can now move joggles and edge reliefs with the Move tool. (The Move
handle is not displayed for notches or corner reliefs because they cannot be
moved.)
You can now move the walls between joggles, as shown in the figure on the
right.
You can now rotate walls that are split on an edge about the bend junction. You
can also use the Move tool to translate the wall shared by the each of the walls.
