Promote CAD geometry to parametric model

Hi everyone,

I was told that GenerativeComponents has a feature called "promote CAD geometry to parametric model" since the mid-2000s. However, I couldn't find any explanation online. Does this feature still exist? What does this feature does?

Thanks in advance,

Sara

  • Hello Sara,

    I hope you are doing all fine. I have attached a video showing how you can promote a CAD geometry in generative components. Please go through the video.

  • Hi Alifur,
    Thank you for you answer.
    I would like to ask you two more questions:
    Does Promote Element works with geometry imported from another CAD tool?
    And does it work for more complex models, with more than one solid or shape?
    Thank you so much!
  • Hello Sara, 

    Yes the promote element could work with other geometry imported from other cad tool. I have tried doing that on dwg file & it worked on that. 
    It could work on complex models.
    Can you please be more specific when you say geometries imported from other cad tool and also an example of complex tool would be helpful?

  • Hello,

    I give you this example of a spur wheel and the dwg file:

    SpurGear.dwg

    Is it possible to promote all the elements (circles, arcs and lines) automatically at the same time?

    Thanks, Sara

  • Hello Sara, 

    Thank you for the example. Well it is possible to promote all the elements of similar type like we can promote lines at the same time, but lines and arcs are not going get promote at the same time.
