Do not delete constraints automatically - rather show which one cause problems

If you are using parametric modelling sometimes you run into situations where MS gives you: "One or more constraint has been removed." in the message center.First of all: It just shows as a small warning in the message center. That is not enough. ...

fix dimensions so they do not lose association so easily

I get so tired of dimensioning a 3d drawing then find out I have to alter the model and the dimension associations are lost.I can understand if there is a modification along a vertex, but not if it's on a different face.There has to be a way to av...

Enable/Disable Feature with True/False Variable

I see the enable toggle under feature properties but it would be much more powerful if you could tie it to a variable and let a true/false variable define it's state. This would allow users to turn many features on or off based on a single variable.

Parametric cells - Hosting elements on Planes and CoordinateSystems - new constraint types

Currently it is very difficult to control the angle of 3D elements with relation to a specific plane, and the 3D Angle constraint in particular lacks the ability to be able to adjust the angle between elements in the way that we want to it to. I t...

Data Cleanup of parametric solids

When deleting a feature the profile and some of the constraints can remain cleaning up this leftover data seems to be difficult and in some cases not possible. There should be an option under the compress menu or maybe data cleanup to remove any c...

Mirror/Rotate Feature "by points"

When using the rotate/mirror feature tools (and possibly others) the options list is about the: Design XYZ, View XYZ and Accudraw/ACS XYZ. Feels like all the classic and legacy mirror/rotate/revolve etc. all allow you to do so by points and you ca...

Manipulate/Delete Multiple features at once

It's great that i can delete holes now but if i need to delete 20 holes frankly its faster to just start over in some cases. I know i can "delete above" but sometimes that's not easy to do in a long property tree. It would be great if i could hold...

Fence Stretch Option to NOT add nodes to properties

Fence stretching smart solids was common place in v8i, but the tool is clumsy at best with parametric solids it adds un-wanted nodes and clutters up the properties menu. I imagine some users like myself would prefer it just stretch the underlying ...

Clip model at face of element

In Tekla you can click the face of an element to clip a model. You can set multiple clip planes to very quickly clip a large model down to a smaller volume. This is far quicker than stuffing around with the silly handles particularly with large mo...

CE - Adding 2 options to the tool "Set Element Elevation" to avoid "flattening" of 3d elements

Hi Microstation users, In a 3 D Model I want to move elements on the z-axis to real coordinates by using the tool "Set Element Elevation".By this way I can work faster and with less risk for errors as by the traditional way to use the move command...
