Tweak Components Minitoolbar
Tweak command is redesigned to use direct manipulation tools arranged in the Tweak Components minitoolbar.
The Tweak Components minitoolbar includes many new commands.
Triad Manipulator
The triad manipulator is modernized and its appearance is similar as in Inventor direct edit commands.
The triad can use the world coordinate system or local coordinate system of the attached component. When local coordinate system is used, you can align the triad to the component geometry.
Move and Continuous Move
- Move clears the selection set of components when you click Apply. You can create a sequence of tweaks with a different selection sets.
- Continuous Move retains the selection set of components after you click Apply. You can add multiple tweaks for the same selection set, or slightly change the original selection as you create tweaks.
Editable Selection Set of Tweaked Components
When you create a tweak, you can dynamically add or remove components included in the selection set.
When you edit an existing tweak, you can redefine the set of components participating in the tweak.
In-Canvas Editing of Tweak Distance or Angle
When you create or edit a tweak, an edit box with the distance or angle value is attached to the triad manipulator. When you edit the value, the tweak is updated accordingly.
Dynamic Preview of Tweaked Components
When you create a tweak, component positions and created trails are dynamically previewed.
When you edit a tweak, components are rolled back so that you can preview the edited tweak.
Undo Button in Tweak Components Command
When you create tweaks, you can go back one step and cancel the previous tweak by the Undo button. The tweak history and the Undo button are available until you click Apply in the Tweak Components minitoolbar.
Default Trails
None cancels creating trails.
All Components creates trails for all selected components.
All Parts creates trails for all selected parts, excludes subassemblies from creating trails.
Single creates a single trail for the entire tweak regardless of the number of moved components. The trail starts from the triad location.
Enhanced Trail Editing
Use the direct editing tools on the Tweak Components mini toolbar to manually add, edit, or delete trails or trail segments.
Manual Trails
When the default trails do not match your needs, you can add trails or trail segments manually. On the Tweak Component minitoolbar, click
Add , and select Full Trail or Trail Segments. Then in the graphic window, click a point on the tweaked component to add a trail.
Dynamic Preview in Auto Explode
When you use the Auto Explode command, select the Preview box to dynamically preview the exploded view of the model. The preview updates whenever you change the settings in the Auto Explode dialog box.
Levels of Auto Explosion
- One Level separates all selected components down to one level in the hierarchy.
- All Levels separates all selected components down to all levels in component hierarchy.
Trails for Auto Exploded Components
- None cancels creating trails.
- All Components to create trails for all components included in auto explode.
- All Parts to create trails for exploded parts only.
- Single to create a single trail for each tweak created by the Auto Explode command.
Tweaks Created by Auto Explode
When you autoexplode a model, individual tweaks for the exploded components are added to the presentation view. The tweaks can be edited separately, so you can fine tune the position of the components in the exploded model view.
