Full WAVE mode
Full WAVE mode
(OP)
Full wave mode apparently allows you link geometry independant of position. I have been experimenting with creating a scheme of a digger boom using only a stick sketch, then linking individual curves into lower level pice parts so any changes to the length of the sketch curves will flow through and update fully detailed 3D models. However, if I change the angles of the stick sketch in the scheme, my 3D models also move accordingly lower down. Is this right, or am I missing something?
The only other thing I could think to do would be link the curve and bung it on it's own layer, create a brand new sketch with a centre line that has an equal length constraint to the linked curve which would be on an invisible layer and free to move all over the place without interfering with my model geometry??? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Life shouldn't be measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the number of times when it's taken away...

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
RE: Full WAVE mode
Just out of interest, when would I actually need to use the full WAVE rather than just the basic linker found under Associative Copy?
Many thanks for all your help.

RE: Full WAVE mode
So the real question, for anyone who understands and appreciates what the general WAVE linker and inter-part tools can do for them and their organization, it's not a matter of IF the WAVE Module could help, but rather one of WHEN will it prove to be worth the extra investment.
