Hey all,
Trying to get comfortable with MM. This is a project I’ve built before in other programs.
Trying to figure out how I would insert tolerance for this part? Its a puzzle piece design so the parts “A” and “B” need to mesh together, inside of another shape. If I offset the squiggle line the arrow is pointing to, it goes all the way around the line. Would negative stock to leave make that happen instead?
Oh dang! Yes! I think that would work well. Didn’t realize the trim tool would snap to the line like that. Thanks!
I did. A little at least. I think because it was just a line it wasn’t behaving like I expected. Which is not MM’s fault. I was expecting behavior like Onshape where you can can offset basically just a duplicate of the line on one side vs going all the way around the line.
I’ve now grasped what you are saying….the idea from parsec FerAS looks like a good workaround.
Not forgetting the final trimming then close the paths.
Yep good call. Totally would have forgotten that!
