Description:

Allows you to copy a boss operation.

General philosophy:

  1. Select a face of the boss to copy.

  2. Select the new reference face.

  3. Define the pocket direction.

  4. Select a curve to create the boss from.

Optional point(s):

The  REFERENCE FACE  button allows you to use the boss reference face as the element that defines the normal direction of the new boss.

The  SAME AS TEMPLATE  button allows you to use the same direction as the one of the copied boss.

The  DUPLICATE CURVE  button allows you to duplicate the starting curve of the boss in order to create the new one. Then you need to define the transformation to apply on it.

The  OTHER CURVE  button allows you to create a new boss contour directly in the function.

The option  Merge parameters= YES  or  NO  allows you to choose if you want or not the copied boss to shape the same parameters as the source boss. Then, the modification of one of them will produce the automatic modification of the other ones.

You can choose to hide the curves used to create the new boss by using the option  Hide curves= YES  or  NO

Specific point(s):

This function simply reuse the parameters of the pocket construction. The section curve of the new pocket have to be define.
