Collecting Data in RevWorks
About Collecting Data
About Collecting Data RevWorks provides a variety of methods for collecting data that are designed to give you great control and flexibility over the digitizing and model creation processes. Some tools are intended for capturing edge geometry, even ...
Deleting Data
Deleting Data At any time during the data collection process, you can delete part or all of the data collected for the current feature. To Delete Points One at a Time Press the Backspace key at any time that the RevWorks toolbar window has the ...
Suspending Data Collection
Suspending Data Collection At any time during the data collection process, you can stop data collection. To Suspend Data Collection From the RevWorks toolbar, select , or select Feature > Action > Cancel from the RevWorks menu in SOLIDWORKS, or if ...
Calculating Data
Calculating Data RevWorks automatically calculates features when you collect the maximum number of points for the feature you want to create unless you have specified the Unlimited collection option. At any time after you collect the minimum number ...
Collecting Data for Planes
Collecting Data for Planes Using SOLIDWORKS tools, you can only create planes relative to existing planes. Using RevWorks, you can digitize planes anywhere without having to reference an existing plane. RevWorks creates planes from digitized point ...
Collecting Data for Measurements
Collecting Data for Measurements RevWorks creates measurements from digitized point data that you collect. RevWorks uses the data that you collect for measurements to calculate relationships relative to the current sketch plane, for most ...
Collecting Data for Curves and Surfaces
Collecting Data for Curves and Surfaces RevWorks collects data you select for curves and surfaces and places the points into the active 3D sketch. Points are placed directly into the 3D sketch, as they are collected. Unlike other 3D Features, ...
Collecting Data for 3D Features
Collecting Data for 3D Features RevWorks collects data you select for 3D features and places the points into the active 3D sketch. Points are placed directly into the 3D sketch, as they are collected. RevWorks computes and places the generated ...
Collecting Data for Sketch Features
Collecting Data for Sketch Features RevWorks collects data you select for 2D features and projects the points onto the active sketch plane. Points that are collected off of the surface are projected perpendicularly to the sketch. This allows you ...
Collecting Data for Features
Collecting Data for Features RevWorks creates features from digitized point data that you collect. RevWorks uses the data that you collect for features to place the feature in the current SOLIDWORKS sketch plane or in model space, as appropriate to ...
Collecting Data for Datums and Origins
Collecting Data for Datums and Origins RevWorks creates Datums and Origins from digitized point data that you collect. Datums allow you to orient the part in a preferred way for presentation inside of SOLIDWORKS. RevWorks uses the data that you ...
Collecting Object Data
Collecting Object Data RevWorks only displays points used to create features while collecting data. The procedures for collecting data differ depending on the type of data you want to collect. Select the type of data you want to collect for more ...
Scanning 3D Features in Scan Point Mode
Scanning 3D Features in Scan Point Mode The points that you digitize for a 3D sketch, curve, or surface are in true 3D SOLIDWORKS model space. Point data collected for 3D features is placed into a 3D sketch. When operating in 3D scan point mode, ...
Scanning Sketch Features in Scan Point Mode
Scanning Sketch Features in Scan Point Mode Scan point mode enables capture of point data within a limited distance of the active 2D sketch plane. This is also called snap scanning. It may help to think of the active sketch as a sectional plane. ...
Collecting Data with MousePoints
Collecting Data with MousePoints MousePoints™ is a framework for collecting points directly from your existing model data using the mouse cursor. MousePoints may be used independently or in conjunction with your digitizing device and is completely ...
Collecting Data in Scan Point Mode
Collecting Data in Scan Point Mode The scan point mode allows you to collect data along any section of a part or freeform in 3D space. While operating in scan point mode, RevWorks collects data when the hard probe crosses the surface of the part, ...
Collecting Data in Single Point Mode
Collecting Data in Single Point Mode Single point mode is the most common method for collecting data in RevWorks. While operating in single point mode, you collect data by pressing the data collection button of your device, an auxiliary switch, or ...
