About the Edit Round User Interface
The Edit Round tab consists of a tab with collectors and a command, tabs, a dragger, and shortcut menus. Use the dragger and shortcut menus for expediency. Use the tabs for rule-based surface set selection, selecting attachment references chain, and viewing your selections.
Commands
• References
◦ Round surfaces collector—Collects round shape surfaces to modify their radius.
◦ Remove Round—Removes the selected round geometry.
• Dimension Scheme—Sets the shape of the cross section.
| For features created in versions earlier than Creo 3, only the circular cross section shape is available. |
◦ Circular
▪ Radius—Sets the radius of the round.
◦ Conic
▪ Rho—Sets the sharpness of the round. Its value can be from .05 to .95.
▪ D—Sets the conic distance.
◦ C2 Continuous
▪ C2—Sets the sharpness of the round. Its value can be from .05 to .95.
▪ D—Sets the conic distance.
◦ D1 x D2 Conic
▪ Rho—Sets the sharpness of the round. Its value can be from .05 to .95.
▪ D1 and D2—Sets the conic distance.
▪ —Reverses the side of the conic distance.
◦ D1 x D2 C2
▪ C2—Sets the sharpness of the round. Its value can be from .05 to .95.
▪ D1 and D2—Sets the conic distance.
▪ —Reverses the side of the conic distance.
Tabs
• References
◦ Round surfaces—Displays round surfaces or surface sets from multiple bodies and quilts to edit.
▪ Details—Opens the Surface Sets dialog box.
• Options
◦ Attach round geometry check box—Attaches the round geometry to the underlying surface. When this option is not selected, you have the option to Create end surfaces where the round overlaps other geometry.
◦ Remove interfering rounds and chamfers—Removes rounds or chamfers that interfere with round regeneration.
◦ Pattern/Symmetry/Mirror feature—Shows a pattern, mirror, pattern recognition, or symmetry recognition feature that is used to propagate the edit round feature to all instances such that the pattern, mirror, or symmetry is maintained.
◦ Copy appearances check box—Copies the appearances from the reference bodies and surfaces to the new copies. Available when Attach round geometry is selected.
• Properties—Shows the name of the feature. Click

Shortcut Menus
Right-click the graphics window to access shortcut menu commands.
• Geometry Rule Surfaces—Opens the Geometry Rules dialog box. Available for rounds with a circular cross section.
• Shape Surfaces—Opens the Shape Surface Sets dialog box.
• Round surfaces—Activates the round surfaces collector.
• Pattern/Symmetry/Mirror Feature—Collects a pattern, mirror, pattern recognition, or symmetry recognition feature used to propagate the edit round feature to all instances such that the pattern, mirror, or symmetry is maintained.
• Clear—Clears the last selected collector.
• Remove interfering geometry—Removes rounds that interfere with the edited round geometry.
• Cross section shape list—Sets the cross section shape, and shows the commands for the shape.
| For features created in versions earlier than Creo 3, only the circular cross section shape is available. |
