| Summary | 0002013: When making a face from a imported svg path, we do not see the with the path. | ||||
| Description | It would be great to still see what path is used, and eventually be able to change it, so we could duplicate complex objets and change the path on the duplicate. For example changing the number of teeth of a gear. | ||||

Can not see the link with the path. |
|
|
I don't understand very well... Can you explain better? |
|

This would mean to add tasks like they are preformed by the shape build to parametric features, which would then claim children. |

I imported twice the same svg. With one I made a face and extrude it. It would be great to know what path has been used to make the face to keep track of it. Even better would be to be able to change the path (to correct an error for axample, or change nthe number of teeth, or have a better precision, ...). In one project, At some point, because I imported many times the sane svg to make different parts, and copy some and delete some others,I ended with objects with errors. I would have appiciate to be ableto visualize more of the hirachie. One even stranger thing is that I have been able, by loading a new svg file with the same pathname defined but with a different gear to have changed the shape of the object with the error. No other solution than drop the object and rebuild it. But I have not been able to reproduce all that. If I a able I will log this. |

Are you aware there is an InvoluteGear utility in the Part Design menu? It generates a parametric 2D profile that can be changed. There is no need to import gear profiles from SVG in this specific case. |
|
|
Yes I saw it, but It is a bit too simplistic. There are many parameters for a gear. See the window capture I attached. So I generate the profile with an other software. But this is not the subject I wanted to bring. I can buils a face with a pah in a svg file, whatever it is a gear or something else. I can not change the profile without having to redesign the bit. Even with involute gear as soon as I make a face, I do not have acces to the parameters of the gear. Regards |

I understand that the gear profile is just a specific example of a more general topic. You should not create a face from an InvoluteGear profile, because it basically destroys it. You can pad the InvoluteGear directly, and its parameters can be changed afterward. In the OpenSCAD workbench, there's a tool to replace an object in the Feature tree. I have not tried it, but it may be possible to create a face from a new imported path, and replace the existing one under your Extrude object. |

That is exacly what I nedd. I followed a video tuto to do that and your advise is far better. My request is then unsusefull as feature already avalable. It should be rejected. Many thanks, and sorry. Regards Pascal Garcia |
