Misuse of the repeat function

Hello

Yes I admit it, I don't use this function well and it annoys me quite a bit. (don't bang your head NOoooonnn)

I'm in SW 2018

1°) I want to be able to change the number of occurrences a posteriori, for example from 5 to 6. When I click on the N° (number of occurrence) that appears, I can't change the number.

2°) I want to be able to delete a repetition. You  have to delete by hand each sketch created by repetition (Yuck!)

Often if I change the starting position or the starting shape it's a struggle to do what I want.

3°) When I modify the form without changing the number of occurrences, it does not change the form on other occurrences. How to do it?

Thank you for your help!

Kind regards

Hi @ Zozo ;-) 

The repetitions of what?

Takes screenshots of the problem(s)

a repetition of sketches, functions, faces

etc...

Hello gt22

Ooopss these are rehearsals of sketches only for the moment

Repetition in Esquisse?

for this, it is better to do a 3D Repeat "of selected faces"

easier to manage for the number, and remove occcurences.

I agree with Olivier42. Repetitions of sketches are, for me, to be avoided. Too many problems with it. 3D repetitions should be preferred.

+1  @ Olivier42

otherwise if you want to work with the sketches there are solutions but frankly it's easier in the  3D

may the force be with you.

@ Zozo

take a look at this tutorial

to understand the SW logic on repetitions

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuZ_WbF_KCs

which of + is a recap of the reconstruction time comparisons

which also allows, depending on the repetition options, to relieve the calculations 

so saving time ;-)

I hope I've been clear :-)

Hello Obi Wan and PhillipeB

I'm surprised that you have to process a 2D sketch into a 3D sketch.

I saw this recommendation a few days ago but didn't pay attention to it.

Can we edit a 3D sketch a 2D sketch or does your salutary recommendation say ""To always use 3D sketching even if you don't do 2D sketching. (which is my case in 99.999815% of cases)

@gt22 I look at the link you gave me right away and I'll get back to you and our colleagues

Thank you for your help

 

@zozo-MP

Not in 3D sketch. Make a 2D sketch then your function (extrusion or subtraction) then repetition of the function or face.

may the force be with you.

in your case (the video)

to kick out your reps

and do a repeat once your modification is made

or select each line 3

and put them in line for construction

+1 I to avoid repetition directly in the sketch (but if they have improved the thing)

I always do repetition of the function, easier to manage by equations.

Be careful however with the reconstruction located if you used a controlled dimension, you have to do 2X the reconstruction or use the new shortcut Ctrl+Shift+B or Ctrl+Q

These are the new 2018 models normally

Thank you @gt22

Finally! I thought I was using the function badly, but it's rather the SW function that is a bit.

@PhillipeB

Okay: I'm going to change my old habits and do function repetitions so I only have one sketch to edit and the function repeats will follow automatically. A too old habit of the drawing board surely.

@Obi wan  sorry! I confused working in 3D (the 3D view) with 3D sketching. Bad neural connection :-) Rhaaa!!

Have a good weekend everyone. ;-)

Curiously, I have just been confronted with a repetition of a sketch to be modified. I found a trick to edit a geometry. It's simple, your sketch you pass it in block and then repetition of sketch (block). If you change your block, the sketch repetition also changes.

With an added advantage if your sketch is made up of 40 strokes, no need to click 40 times, there is just the block to take 1 click.

May the force be with you

WAN @OBI

I note what you say great idea.

Yes because I recently discovered the block function. It seems to me that you are the one who talks about it to animate sketches in the context of "schematic representation".

These are two functions that I will have to deepen because I do a lot of kinematics and the "schematic representation" - which I had abandoned because of the sketches that were crossed out in all directions - becomes interesting again and usable with the blocks that make the sketch a quasi part (parts).

I take this opportunity to thank you again ;-)

Hello

Isn't it a sw2018 bug? Because on SW2017, it works correctly.

Except that the display is not refreshed before exiting the repeat edit. So when you delete your right, you have to find the right one.

 

@zozo-MP

Look at the attached doc  it must meet your expectations.

may the force be with you.

Good evening oplep27

I don't understand when you say """ So when you delete your right, you have to find the right one. ""

:-)

Thank you @ OBI WAN for your DOCS :-)

In repeatable entities, when I delete a row, it remains in repeatable entities. It only fades away when I come out of the sketch rehearsal.

And since I don't necessarily remember in what order the rule is drawn, I choose a line at random and I look at the one that disappears from the repetition.
