Boundary Blends and Cuts
Boundary Blends and Cuts
(OP)
Hi.
I've never run into this before.
It seems that ProE always worked on the premise that if you created a cut at the bottom of the tree, then everything above it would be affected automatically. If it was a bunch of solid objects, then a a single, solid cut feature would cut them all at once, if they were within the bounds of the cut feature. Likewise, if it was a bunch of surfaces, then a single, surface cut would cut them all.
But I am doing a project where I need to cut a bunch of Boundary Blends with a cut feature. Now, when I build the cut, it asks me which surface or quilt I want to cut, and will only let me select one quilt. That means, with about 10 quilts, I am going to have to cut all 10 individually. Does this sound right?! I mean, is ProE so stupid that it can't figure that one out? Or am I the stupid one, here?

Looks like copy/paste is the quickest way.

They did add the ability to do a 2 or more quilt merge in wildfire at least similar to a Knit feature on many other programs.
As Stephen suggested with Paste Special or Patterning a copy of the surface you can use the identical copy surfaces for the other trim operations.
