Well, as WF5 Preprod is only a week away time will tell....but so far I haven't seen any news on WF GUI in remaining areas of basic modeling and sheetmetal. I'm thinking of Blend, Helical Sweep and Extend Wall, Create Bend, Bend/Unbend/Flatten Part in sheetmetal, just to mention a few....
I played around with a dashboard. Started off with Flat Wall and adapted it to the Helical Sweep workflow. My goal was to NOT change any core programming of the Helical Sweep feature.....just make a new GUI...
What do you think....how many hours could that take...??
Number of turns does not exist in present Helical Sweep feature but as it's just a simple relation it should not be too hard to achieve. Of course one of the options Length, Pitch or Number of turns would have to be greyed out depending on which you start to fill in.
Through Axis or Normal to Trajectory could be selected under Placement similar to VSS.
The Sketch Profile tab should actually be placed before Sketch Section but I'm too lazy to change the image. Sketch Section will be greyed out until Sketch Profile is defined.
This is not a professional attempt but more to highlight my astonishment that PTC will not complete the WF GUI.
