Yet another questing concerning my parametric saddle... (for pressure vessels)
I can now unbend the saddle plate without a problem (IF I create the unbend feature BEFORE I start altering parameters, see other topic).
I can now create markings on the saddle plate that keep their position when unbending (see other topic, thank you Antonius!)
Because I need many markings on the saddle plate (the RED plate in the screenshots below), I tried to draw the lines (=projection of a sketch in the surface of the plate) on 1 side of the saddle plate, group all these projections, and then mirror this group.
I drew the lines on the left side of the screenshot, the mirror feature mirrors the lines to the right side.
It seemed everything went fine in the beginning.
Example for a cylindrical shell: (screenshot of the flat state pasted on top of the drawing)
Example for a conical shell: (screenshot of the flat state pasted on top of the drawing)
Example for an eccentric conical shell: (screenshot of the flat state pasted on top of the drawing)
As you can see, the mirror feature for the cylindrical and conical shell works like a charm.
The mirror feature for the eccentric cone is not correct.
Would this be a bug in Creo, or do I use this feature in the wrong way?
