To Create an External Shrinkwrap Feature
1. Retrieve an assembly or a part.
2. Click
Shrinkwrap. The
Shrinkwrap tab opens with the top-level assembly as the reference model.
3. Click
External. The
Placement dialog box opens. Set the following options:
◦ Click Default to position the Shrinkwrap feature in the current model using default internal coordinate systems.
◦ Click Coord Sys to position the Shrinkwrap feature aligned to local and external coordinate systems.
| A coordinate system can be created on the fly. If the reference model is an assembly, the coordinate system must be a feature of the top-level assembly (no part-level or subassembly-level coordinate systems are allowed). |
4. Click OK to exit the Placement dialog box.
| Click Edit Placement to return to the Placement dialog box and change placement references. |
5. Click
Open to select a model located on disk or in session from which to copy geometry. A warning message appears stating that the external model is about to change. Click
Yes to continue. When selection is complete, the model appears in a new active window. Now define surface sets on the active component from which to copy geometry.
