Example: Imprinting intersection lines
In this example you will imprint the edges created by the intersection of a tool with a blank on the surface of the blank. Shown below are part 1 and the result of imprinting the silhouette onto part 1.
After creating the workplane and the two parts:
1. Click Modeling and then, in the Model group, click the arrow next to Imprint.
2. Click Intersection. The Intersection dialog box opens. Blank is set to /p1 (the active part) and the workplane is set to w1 (the active workplane). You do not need to change the workplane, but change the blank to part 1 by:
3. Click Blank.
4. Click part 1 or select part 1 from the Structure Browser or enter /p1 into the data field next to Blank.
5. Click Tool.
6. Click part 2 or select part 2 from the Structure Browser or enter /p2 into the data field next to Blank.
7. Click to complete the operation.
Creo Elements/Direct Modeling imprints the edges created by the intersection onto part 1.
To remove part 2 from the current view and view the imprint:
1. Open the Drawlist.
2. Click the check button off to the left of /p2's icon.
Remove Workplane w1 for clarity.
Rotate part 1 with the Dynamic control to view the edges of the interface created by the intersection of part 1 and part 2 on part 1.
