Once it is added as a parameter, it will be highlighted and you will see it in the Parameters box below the Block Recording: From here, these dimensions can be directly edited or changed into parametric components by clicking on the >P. Here you can see the two dimensions that were created, D1 & D2. To finish a Block from sketching, add all your desired dimensions and then click End Sketch Editing:ĭoing so will create your sketching block, where you can hit the down arrow on the left to edit it: Using this tool enables individual dimensions to be modified once the Block is finished. When sketching while using Blocks, the most important thing to keep in mind is that if you want a dimension to be tracked you need to ensure you utilize the Dimension tool: To create a ground-up design we typically start with sketching. Once enabled, all actions will be recorded using the Blocks feature, which tracks the SpaceClaim Scripting Code for the actions taken and aggregates them into easy-to-use “blocks” in the GUI interface. To enable Blocks, navigate to Design -> Blocks: Ansys SpaceClaim Blocks allows for easy ground-up parameterization of a model.
