Weird constraint sketch behavior / bug

[nico_h]

Hi Shapr 3D Team

I am very impressed by the software and I wanted to create some replacement caps for my cloth dryer that are getting broken.
The diameter of the tubing is 13.1 millimeter so I am trying to create an L shape with a 6.55 millimeter in the short leg.

While trying to create and adjust this L shape, I found 1 bug and 1 puzzling feature:

• when dragging the side of a rectangle, it is possible to make the opposite side move away. https://global.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/shapr3d/original/2X/9/9b7e0d2e4edb9964b20bcd841c2699b68a789501.MOV I think that one is a bug.
• when adding sub millimeter length constraint it seems the sketch
  • adjust the position of both points of the segment and not the last.
  • when dragging the segment around, the dragged segment will snap to grid with the same offset, the ends will not. Dragging from a selected end point to a grid point will switch subsequent segment dragging to have the end points snap to grid.
  • when adding a length constraint to a segment, perpendicular segment position will also be adjusted, and not the “free” end.

I don’t know if the above is a bug or a feature, but it is extremely annoying, as that can throw off a big sketch.

Any comment would be much appreciated.

Our sketch engine is being replaced. It should be released in 3-4 weeks.

Does that mean you’re switching away from Parasolid, the same engine that powers SolidWorks, Siemens NX, Solid Edge and many more run on? That was a recent upgrade wasn’t it?

[Istvan]

No. That’s the geometric engine. Sketch engine is just the part that is used for the constraints. Parasolid rocks.

Wow, thanks for such a quick reply! Looking forward to the next revision.
