The two environments are synchronous and ordered. You create synchronous features in the synchronous modeling environment, You create ordered features in the ordered modeling environment. A model can contain only synchronous features, only ordered features, or a combination of both feature types A synchronous feature is a collection of faces that define the feature shape, There is no history retained of how a synchronous feature was created, You can edit the faces of a synchronous feature. An ordered feature is history based, You can edit an ordered feature by returning to any step used in the feature creation process, You do not edit faces of an ordered feature, Opening a Solid Edge modeling document * The Solid Bdge Options® Helpers page provides a setting for the modeling environment to Use when a new document opens. The default setting is Synchronous modeling * Ifan existing modeling document contains only synchronous elements, the document opens in the synchronous environment. * Ifan existing modeling document contains only ordered elements or a combination of ordered and synchronous elements, the document opens in the ordered environment. Moving between modeling environments ‘You can switch between environments at any time during the modeling process * Right-click in PathFinder or the graphics window to activate the shortcut menu, and then choose either Transition to Synchronous or Transition to Ordered, depending on the environment that is active * Ifa model contains both synchronous and ordered features, click the Ordered environment bar or the Synchronous environment bar in PathFinder * On the ribbon, from the Tools tab® Model group, choose the modeling environment to transition to Each environment presents its own set of modeling commands, Modeling smnchroncssand ordered features 2-4Lesson2 ‘Modeling synchronous and ordered features Feature display In the ordered modeling environment, ordered and synchronous features appear In the synchronous modeling environment, only synchronous features appear. Editing features In ordered modeling, selecting an ordered feature displays the Edit Feature command bar for ordered editing In ordered or synchronous modeling, selecting a synchronous body face displays the steering wheel for synchronous editing, 22 Modeling symchronusand ordered features ‘sps001535,‘Modeling synchronous and ordered features Moving ordered features to synchronous ‘spse01535, ‘You can convert ordered features to synchronous features while in a part or sheet metal modeling file, The conversion performs by moving ordered features into the synchronous portion of the PathFinder tree. This move results in the feature geometry consuming into the synchronous body and therefore available for synchronous editing ‘The move to synchronous workflow occurs only when the file is in the ordered environment, Single features or any number of features can convert with the Move to Synchronous command. ‘The ordered conversion is one way only. Synchronous features cannot convert to ordered features ‘You can also convert ordered features to synchronous features at a file level with the Convert command. Multiple files can process simultaneously. Feature conversion must start at the top of the ordered feature tree and be in a contiguous order All features in the tree above the selected feature include in the conversion, Mirror and pattern features require both child and parent features for conversion to be successful. If any of the parents in the select set have a child relationship to either a mirror or pattern feature, all features above these children features are in the select set. Ifa problem occurs in the conversion process, the Undo command is available A Move to Synchronous dialog displays to alert the users if additional dependencies are found, and to provide any warning message that may affect the outcome of the move. This dialog only displays when warnings exist and/or there are additional dependencies found. Waming message: Feature dependency found. It is recommended that all dependencies be moved with the selected feature. ‘You can click the “Selection only” button in the dialog to exclude the dependencies from the Move operation. It is recommended to recompute the ordered node, and resolve any possible warnings or failures before moving the ordered features to synchronous Moving local dimensions and sketches When ordered local dimensions move to synchronous, Solid Edge attempts to locate and bind dimensions to a vertex, If no vertex is found, then the dimensions become dangling dimensions Once moved, all ordered dimensions, except for dangling dimensions, display along with the synchronous dimensions in the Dimensions node of the Synchronous portion of PathFinder. All ordered dimensions that are driving or driven dimensions move as driven dimensions, When you do a Move to Syne for a feature at a time,Solid Bdge creates a user defined set each time there are dangling dimensions. Synchronous does not support dimensions between a part edge and a reference plane, Therefore, dimensions placed between an ordered part edge and a reference plane move to synchronous as dangling dimensions.
