surface from solid

[ilmegor]

Hi,


I'm a proE new user (WF 2.0). (I'm Italian so forgive me for my not perfect english)


I have a solid made upwith differnt features, can I "extract" the boundary surface from it? Thank a lot

yes , you can do it by copying geometry under shared data under insert menu.

Thanks Israr,


But it looks as if it's not working, the only menu active in shared data is "From File...". I tried to select the surface either with "feature" and "geometry" tool but no way. Thanks

You need Advanced Assy Extension for the Copy Geometry functionality. See:

You might try IGES or STEP export. Its not associative but its better than nothing.

Can you "File > Save As > Shrinkwrap"?

Thanks guys for your suggestion, all effective althou a little "extra work" but it's my mistake, I didn't explain myself well. I just needed the surface to be copied within the same part not to export!. So someone suggested just to


Select the surface--Copy--Pasteand I get the surface as I wanted. Maybe it was too easy for you!


Thanks anyway!!





P.S.Got a lot of other "silly" problem....do you want to know?
