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?
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
+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
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!!
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.
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).
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.
