Split Lines
Split Lines
(OP)
Does anyone know of a method of generating multiple split lines from a single sketch?
For example, we use split lines in FEA to represent the contact between the bolt hole and the backing plate. Currently we have to create a split line for each hole seperately, which can be time consuming where we may have 20 or more bolt holes.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

If you save the hole with the altered profile to your design library, you can reuse it and have holes already set up for FEA. Of course that will make your 2D drawings a mess.
Possibly putting a CSK with a very shallow angle around the holes would be a fast way to do it.

I'm going to submit it as an enhancement request and hopefully they will inlcude it in a future release. If anyone else feels like submitting it too it might help push it along!!
Regards, and thanks again.
