Re: Slicing solid model to sketch inside it
Hi James, Thank you for the information.I am teaching the first class for Creo Parametric this semester and I had a student ask if the model could be sliced while in the sketch mode. I didn’t see...

First of all, I wouldn't use a cut surface as a reference, and that's what you're asking Creo to do. It's a better practice to model off real datum planes. You want to be able to "slice" the model...

If I understand the requirement right, you can make a datum curve based on a cross section. Once you make that curve, you can project that curve into a section or sketch.

Hi Steven, Yes, in Inventor or SolidWorks, we would use an existing datum plane or cretae a new one that could be used to then draw our sketch on. It's a tad bit easier for the student to see what and...

Technically, Creo could do the same thing. You could create a datum plane through the part or assembly, remove by extrusion or "slice" as you call it, the features to hide, then sketch the desired...

You can do this with sections too. Just make a datum plane which you intend to use as a sketch plane and assign a cross section to it. You can leave the part sectioned and you then make the sketch....

I config.pro, set: capped_clip yes and use the clipping under "visibilities" it think it was.

Hi David,I know what you are looking for from CATIA V5. There you have button in the sketcher called 'Cut Part by sketch plane' creating a clipped state of the part while sketching.As mentioned by...

Thanks, ConstantinThe feed back from here has been very helpful. I know that once you are accustomed to using a CAD software package, it is sometimes hard to try another package due to "looking" for...
