Pinned ideas

PINNED Add measuring/pick distance tool in parametric solid and variables tools
As a MicroStation modelling user, I would like the capability of filling the Distance field by picking two points (or distance between other elements) from within the tool, so that I can be much quicker in creating solids and other elements where ...

File Open dialog - Script

Further to MSR-I-1975 which looks at merging files when loading a file, it would be good to be able to call a script from the File Open dialog. The script could contain file paths and associated models to say attach, merge files.

Add clash detection for moving objects

I routinely move a component thru an existing model following a specific path and have to identify interferences and close calls as it moves. It would be nice to be able to define a path and then have the software move the object along the path an...

Implement AI-powered automation for Generativecomponents

Generate not only GC scripts from text input, but also geometry through a combination of text and graphical input. For example, starting from pre-drawn 2D or 3D geometries, explain in text how they can be automated, modified, and distributed. Comp...

Add Search option for 'Remap Elements to level'

Please can you add an option to search for a level name when using the 'Remap Elements to level ' option. Very painful having to scroll through hundreds of levels to find the one you want.... Similar to the new Ribbon level picker tool. Ian

Reinstate Import STP files

Mstn used to be able to import STP, STEP files. Seems to be missing in Mstn 2024.2. A lot of AEC manufacturers provide component in this format. Better 3d solids, tree info compared to .rfa, dwg.

Select previously selected element, and previous to that, way back.

During a session a lot of selecting and deselecting is performed. Some commands deselect elements when done doing what they do. Selecting the previously selected element is currently possible through "choose previous" or "choose last". Wouldn't it...

Union of Parametric Features needs to allow option to maintain constraints

The union of parametric features tool in connect currently leaves a lot to be desired. If two fully constrained parametric solids are merged any constraints that existed between the solids are gone. Unless they were 2D some 2D constraints persist ...
