Parametric cells are great, shared cells are great using them in practice isn't so great.Parametric cells are stuck on the level, color, line weight and any other attribute associated with the "shared" cell within the file. So to save file space i...

I want to sweep 2 constrained profiles along either 1 or 2 paths. The end result is to be able to edit the constraint values and the 3d surface or solids updates. If I use Solid > Extrude along, it works, but with only 1 profile. If I try an...

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. ...

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.

We need something that can reliably create either a mesh that follows the terrain/mesh/surface like the stencil tool is supposed to do or one that can slice an existing mesh using 2D shapes draped onto it. We need to create a mesh with thickness t...

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...

Many users regularly use the Mesh creation tools like Mesh from Element to convert elements like Shapes, Solids, etc. to mesh objects or Convert to Solid to do this with solids. Especially for BIM and Civil modeling workflows, one challenge is whe...

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...

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...
