Hi.

Here is described a method of creating holograms with a plugin.
https://github.com/rdeits/ScratchHolograms/blob/master/Readme.markdown
But I don't know where in pattern.rb a path to draw_pattern.py can be changed.

I tired to change it in line 227 and 228 but an error appears.

So it is a bug? In SU2014 same.
How is it in SU2015?

Robert

I've noticed that it only happens with measurements which are aligned to dimension line.

Robert

Yes. All combinations.

Robert

Of course, I changed OpenGL in SU. No effects.

Robert

Yes, I've tried any possible OpenGL settings, which are in System preferences window.

Robert

But it happens only when printing. It is visible only on the print.
Su2015 doesn`t work with WinXP.

Robert

Why while printing with HLR option turned on there are appearing black "highlights" of measurement text. SU8.

Why can't I colour the group?

@dave r said:

Do not open the copy of the component before scaling.

It's so obvious ... now

@dave r said:

Do you know about using the Move tool to make copies?

Yes. I wanted you to see what I click.

Robert

@dave r said:

No. There's no need for scaling down. I start with a component, make a copy and scale that copy up.

Do not understand something. When prescaling copy at the same time scaling original.

@dave r said:

I see. I wonder if we have access to something like that here.

http://icaamerica.biz/isol.php
I use IS207

@dave r said:

No need to scale back down

But do you scale down a copy before erasing it?

@dave r said:

What finish do you put on these panels? How durable is the cut edge?

Izolant - Primer - Topcoat (I'm not sure about english name for it)
Edges after painting is durable enough. Izolant hardens MDF well. It has the consistency of water, it penetrates deep and hardens. For MDF hardening I use an izolant for wood. Not for MDF.

Robert

First test on MDF.

Robert

YES!
10x magnitude objects.
Intersect Faces With Selection
Erase, erase, erase, erase...

Works, thank you.

Robert

@dave r said:

It works fine for me.

OSCoolean or Solid Tools (SU Pro)?
