What is the benefit of this enhancement?
You can use the align draft connection to align a one-sided or two-sided edge with an external reference curve and a pull direction plane, at a specific angle. The default draft angle is 10 degrees and the angle range is between -90 and 90 degrees from the pull direction plane. A new draft glyph appears in the graphics window with the specified angle. To easily change the angle value, double-click the draft glyph and enter a new value. You can also flip the angle direction when the aligned edge is one-sided.
The command Align Draft improves usability in the following ways:
• Provides predictable connections for newly created surfaces
• Improves the transition control between Freestyle and external geometry
• Helps you to modify the inherent draft angle set in the generative design feature, while reconstructing the geometry using a generative design feature.
