The Part Stretch command modifies part dimensions by stretching selected areas, allowing you to resize specific portions of a part while maintaining geometric relationships.
🔹 How to Use
- Start command: Launch Part Stretch from the part modification tools.
Select stretch area: Define the area you want to stretch by selecting the appropriate boundaries.
Define stretch points: Select two points to establish the stretch direction and magnitude.
- Complete operation: Execute the stretch to modify the part geometry according to your specifications.
🧠Tips
- Direction coordinates: Use direction coordinates for precise control over stretch direction and distance.
- Area selection: Carefully select the stretch area to avoid unintended geometry modifications.
- Geometric relationships: Stretching maintains basic geometric relationships within the selected area.
- Planning stretches: Consider the impact on toolpaths and cutting sequences when stretching parts.
