Know the mass of a part

Knowing the mass of the part that we have drawn allows us to plan the handling means. Allows us to make calculations of the resistance of materials. Can also allow us to quickly calculate costs if we know the price per kilo. This information can b...

Dynamic Cell Features

The new Perforater tool allows the user to automatically boolean subtract from a host or intersecting solid. When the Parametric Cell containing the Perforator is moved, then boolen operation is moved automatically. This makes it a very flexible a...

Highlight used Variables "bold" Liken to used levels display

In the creation of parametric models I'm finding that some times I create variables that are not necessary or the need for their existence goes away. It's difficult to sort out which variables are actually being used and which variables are just f...

Draw/Imprint on Solid to Surface of Solid

I find it very confusing that when using the Draw/Imprint on Solid tool I have to constrain the profile of my imprint to the surface I'm trying to attach it tooin 3 axis. X &Y relative to profile normal makeI understand but I don't constrain Z...

ADD Density to element/Solid

Can we add an option to add a density to an element/solid so we can get its mass/weight. I know we can do this with Item Types but that will not allow us to report on itmass. We would need to export the model to excel and get excel to do the calcu...

Parametric Cells - Constraints for cell origin

Currently a cell can be placed by it's origin, however once placed it is fixed in it's location, and the origin point is not able to be updated with constraints. It would be great if we could constrain the origin to another element or apply parame...

ADD a minimal Terrain tools in Microstation

We need something very simple and straightforward to create a simple terrain. Like Revit terrain design. Just add 3D points and break lines and convert it to Terrain Model (with export in Landxml). And don't tell me to buy Geopak Site for doing th...

Option to hide Parametric markers/glyphs

Can we add an option to hide the new Parametric markers/glyphs within the View Attributes dialog. Although they are useful, when the model becomes details they start to become a hindrance. Having a view attribute to control this would make it easi...

Open and Save As SolidWorks file types (Parts and Assemblies mainly)

I wonder why this software is excluded, when it used to be supported.

Place Parametric Cell - By 2 Points Option

Pipes like most linear objects like columns, beams etc etc do not get placed like your typical one insertion point object Cell. Placing the 'pipe' Parametric Cell then measuring the correct length then going back to the Properties dialog to type i...
