CAD Brightness:

Adjusting the CAD Brightness CAD Brightness Tekla1.png will either brighten or dim the color of all geometric features within the imported design. This can be used to see defined parts when dimmed and see raw geometric features when brightened.

Cutting

Cutting picture Tekla1.png

The Cutting tab contains the tools necessary for adding cuts to the ends of parts. Wrappers can be printed which, when wrapped around the end of a tube, mark where the tube needs to be cut.














Make Cuts

Click the New Cut New cut.png button and click a part. The cut part will be highlighted in green once selected. Click a second part, plane, or multiple parts that the first part will be cut to fit against. The second and any consecutive selected parts will be highlighted in red. Click the Complete Complete.png button. The cut should appear in the list of cuts in the Cutting tab and shown on the assembly.


Cutting Tekla1.png


Click the "Auto-Cut" Auto cut.png button to let the software attempt to generate all cuts in the assembly project.


Click the "Auto-Miter" Auotmiter1.png button to extend the lengths of intersecting tubes past their center line so they can be cut equally.

When viewing the details for the wrappers for a mitered cut, they should have these qualities.


Auto-miter4.pngAuto-miter5.png


Cutting Plane

Using the "Cutting Plane" function to cut a section of tube is different from cutting tubes that intersect. This tool is used for cutting a specific place on a bend or straight tube that does not intersect another tube.

Using the cutting plane feature, a custom plane can be defined and used to place cuts anywhere on the assembly design.

To place a cutting plane, click the "New" New plane.png button under the "Cutting" tab and click on a PickPoint to define the center/base point of the plane. Then click the first and second direction of the plane.

Once a plane is place in the assembly, it can be used as a cutting feature and will allow straight cuts to be placed anywhere.

Cutting plane.png

To move the plane, click the "Move" New plane move.png button. Then click and drag the move tools directly on the plane to move, resize, and rotate the plane. See image below.

Plane move.png

Once the cutting plane in in the correct position, the user can record a cut by selecting the "New Cut" New cut.png button.

Then, select the tube that you are trying to cut, followed by the cutting plane itself. If you've done everything right, the cutting plane will be highlighted when you place your cursor over it.

Lastly, select the "Complete" Complete.png button and the new cut and information will show up on the left of the screen in the Cut Chart section.


Cut Settings

If the Outside Diameter Only option is checked, the software will not display the inside diameter cut line for each cut. Using a hole saw requires the checking of the outside of the material only. "Check" the option "Outside Diameter Only".

HoleSaw3.jpg

Using a grinder or plasma cutter requires checking of both sides of the material. "UnCheck" the option "Outside Diameter Only".

HoleSaw4.jpg


If Distance to Perp of Bend is checked, The red line will indicate the distance to the perpendicular of the bend. The cut wrapper's red line will display the distance to the tangent of the nearest bend combined with the outside radius of the bend.

If the Hide Completed Features option is checked, completed features from the cut will be hidden in the design.

If the Ignore Tube Ends option is checked, all cuts will ignore the excess tubing leftover from all other cuts.

If Mitered Cut is checked, all cuts will be calculated as straight mitered cuts. If you are using a hole saw to cut your tubes leave Mitered Cut unchecked.
