Best Way to Install and Use within SpaceClaim #1

Open briankb opened 8 years ago

briankb commented 8 years ago

I compiled the code and created some release files. Tried the Gear one by itself but it didn't create much of a gear by default. What's the best way to compile and install these as a group or individually? I'm currently running SpaceClaim 2016.1 and just starting to consider building a few plugins. And I was pleasantly surprised to find yours already on github!

Hello, I'm user SpaceClaim 2016 also. "Gear" and the other "addins" works very well for me. What is your problem? i can help you.

Hello, I'm new to the group and a newbie to coding, and I would appreciate some help on setting / installing the files. I'm also using SpaceClaim 2016 I have previously downloaded and installed Visual Studio 2015 and then with the help of the Building Sample Add_Ins.pdf file I compiled the Sample C#v15 Add_In located in the the SpaceClaim.Api.V15 folder.

I have downloaded the SpaceClaim-AddIns-master zip file and attempted to build the Gear project. Unfortunately I got a lot of errors. Appreciate if someone can give be some guidance - I must be doing something wrong!

Hi, See the link en download the files Zip joined. https://www.dropbox.com/s/srni1empog55owf/Spaceclaim%20Addins.zip?dl=0 It's "Addins" for Spaceclaim compiled, for easy install. Copy and Paste or extract files "Addins" in Hard Drive C:/ProgramData/Spaceclaim Launch Spaceclaim. Enjoy.

Hi Nicolas, Many thanks for you reply. I followed your instructions but have run into some error messages when I run Gear. I have sent you a PM so that I could include a screen snapshot of the errors. I hope that is okay. Regards, David

Hi Nicolas,

Thanks for getting back to me, and providing the download.

I'm a mechanical engineer and the gear program looks very interesting and so that is the one I have focused on to date.

Unfortunately I seem to have some errors when I attempt for create a gear set - see below. [image: Inline image 1] As you can see I have no check boxes ticked so presume this is a straight cut gear default. However, I get the same errors when I try "Helical" with any helix angle including zero.

On the bright side Bevel and Hypoid seems to be functioning okay.

Screw appears to work between angles of around 60 - 90 deg. Outside this I appear to get the same error message.

Appreciate any help as the Gear module would be good to have working.

Regards, David

Hi Nicolas, Wow that's great - many thanks. It all seems to work now.

It's off topic but I was looking for a Add-In for fasteners say similar to "Standard Hole" where you can pick screw family (say hex head, cap screw etc), length, head etc from a pick list. Regards, David

nicolasmarc commented 8 years ago

For screw and others, i use "Toolbox" for Spaceclaim. It's not Free = 500$ See the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjYcyvtduxQ For free in your browser, it's possible to use this website: http://www.solidcomponents.com/ Best regards.

David13KG commented 8 years ago

Hi Nicolas, Thanks for the links. "Toolbox" looks excellent but difficult to justify the outlay. Maybe someone will write a more simple home grown version without the smarts. Regards
