Repeating the same operations?

Hi all!

I usually need to correct surfaces, so I use several planes (up to 80)
to capture the profile of surface in each plane (I don't know the menu
name in english), and then I copy each profile (a 2dsketch) in a new
part. It means 80+80+80 operations, always the same, but in different
planes and finally 80 Ctr+C Ctrl+V within two parts. I tried the macro
feature, without good results, I only obtain a repeat sequence in the
same plane, not in the rest.

Any idea?

Thanks

Toni

 

If I'm understanding you correctly, there may be a pretty cool way to do
what you ask:

3D sketch
intersection curve
select all planes and surfaces

If the surfaces are all evenly spaced, there is a box in the Offset
Plane dialog to create a number of evenly spaced planes.

The 3D sketch just gives you the option to make all of the sections at
once, where the planes intersect the surfaces.

You can then copy the 3D sketch with all the profiles in it at once to
the new part without needing to recreate the planes.

I might not be understanding you correctly.

 

Yes, you understanded it ok.

I tried some times "intersection curve" (that's the name I forgot
before) and then copy all 3dsketch to another part, but finally I need
to correct all slpines because tangencies and so on, so I prefer to
work with lines or splines in one plane, not in 3d. So if I could copy
and paste all lines or splines in each plane (of original) to the
other new part in its corresponding plane I will do it very mch fast
than now. Referring "select all planes and surfaces", if I try to copy
all at once, then SW only copy the first sketch but not the rest, so I
must copy and paste manually (the only way I know!)

Anyway thanks
