PartDesign ShapeBinder/fr

Description
Creates a datum shape binder from a selected Body inside the active Body. A shape binder is a reference object that links to edges or faces from another Body. An exemple of use would be to build a box with fitting cover in two different bodies. The shape binder object displays as translucent yellow in the 3D view.

How to use

 * 1) Activate target body (body to receive shape binder object).
 * 2) Press the  button.
 * 3) Press either the  button or the  button.
 * 4) In the 3D view, select the object or geometry to copy. Object will select the whole body; Add geometry will select any element (vertex, edge, face).
 * 5) To remove selected geometry, press the  button and select the geometry in the 3D view. To cancel, press the button again.
 * 6) Alternatively, the Body to copy can be selected before launching the Shape binder command.
 * 7) Press.

Options
Double-click the ShapeBinder label in the Model tree or right-click and select Edit shape binder in the contextual menu to edit its parameters.

Properties

 * : name given to the object, this name can be changed at convenience.

Limitations

 * Multiple selection is not supported. The Add geometry and Remove geometry buttons need to be pressed for each single selection.
 * A shape binder cannot serve as base feature.
 * Selected geometry on a body must be contiguous.
 * If the body to be copied is selected first before launching the command, or if the button is used, it is no longer possible to only select specific geometry elements.
 * The relative placement of the target body and the copied body is not taken into account. The shape binder will adopt the same internal coordinates as the copied body.
