Possible to create a Feature Array based on length of 3D object? (V8i SS10)
I'm trying to create a 3D solid with a hole feature, and I was wondering if there was a function in MS V8i that will allow the hole to be arrayed along the solid automatically, based on the length of the solid, but constrained to a defined offset.

BUG? Parametric thicken does not work properly after parametric solid union
Hello,
MSTN update 15
During creation of parametric cells I encountered quite a strange behaviour. I think it is a clear malfunctionality.
I have two cylinders with parameters for height and diameter. I thicken them using parameter for thickness…
Feature object disappears in dynamic views
Hi All,
A couple of times I have experienced feature solids disappearing in my dynamic views when updating them in the design space.
The most recent experience was when I had changed the profile of a beam with the function "Replace solid or profile…
Feature Manager Toolbox Empty
A little bit ago, I discovered the feature manager in microstation v8i. I found that it is a very useful tool however, I accidentally minimized it rather than closed it and now this is all it shows when I open it up. Any suggestions?
Like V8i? You'll Love CONNECT - Replacing Feature Solids with Parametric Solids
You like MicroStation V8i but...
In V8i you can create parametric, feature-based solids, using Feature Modeling tools. Parameters used to create features like chamfer, fillet, hole, etc., are stored in the design and can be edited using the Modify Parametric…
New in MicroStation CONNECT Edition Update 7 - Extrude Along - Circular Profile
MicroStation CONNECT Edition Update 7 introduces the "Circular Profile" option in the Extrude Along tool.
This feature allows you to quickly create a circular extrusion along a path, without the the need of separately drawing a circular input element…
MicroStation Connect: Deprecated Tools.
For 20 years I taught a equipment design discipline in the Federal University of Pernambuco. It was always very difficult to compete with SolidWorks software in the students preference. Now that the Microstation Connect incorporated parametric assembly…
RE: MicroStation V8i Parametric Cell Design Question
Hello,
You may want to look at Feature Modeling for this type of work. For more information go to the Help > Contents tab > 3D Design and Modeling > Feature-Based Solids Modeling There is a section on Variable Driven Modeling here that may be useful…
