Would you mind clarifying how the intersect tool can help me? I've been playing around with it, but it seems to be giving me the same parent/child issues as the other features I've tried.

Re: Method of deleting bodies that DOES NOT create parent features? "Cut this area regardless of which bodies are there"
You're going to spend more time and energy trying to figure out how to push the software to do something it probably won't do than you would just doing it. And you're asking people to do it for you who usually get paid to solve problems like this. I think the restrictions you're putting on a soluti...

Re: Method of deleting bodies that DOES NOT create parent features? "Cut this area regardless of which bodies are there"
The only way I can think of doing that is to have the data import such that each body is a feature in the tree, and then you can delete the feature in the tree. If you delete a body in a body folder, you'll add features in the tree. If you use an extrude or a sketch you'll add features to the tree....

Re: Method of deleting bodies that DOES NOT create parent features? "Cut this area regardless of which bodies are there"
I hate that SW forcefully suppresses dependent features; I think that's in the Mavric style TTL here at CADforum.net. Anyway, have you considered using Boolean feature Combine/subtract instead of a cut feature? Ie. extrude the body as a solid "tool body" I don't think they are dependent o...

Method of deleting bodies that DOES NOT create parent features? "Cut this area regardless of which bodies are there"?
TL;DR: I'm looking for a way to make a feature that deletes all bodies in a certain area (like Extruded Cut or Delete/Keep Body) WITHOUT creating a parent-child relationship with those features, such that the body-deleting feature will stay unsuppressed as features above it are suppressed and unsup...

Re: Trouble with fonts, colors, and artifacts when generating PDFs from shaded drawings?
I wrote up a blog post on the old forum that had a number of things to try. I would send people to it when they had questions similar to yours. It had been edited a number of times, adding new things to try to fix the problem as I ran into them or they were suggested by others. Unfortunately, while...

Re: Trouble with fonts, colors, and artifacts when generating PDFs from shaded drawings?
I am using Trebuchet if not mistaken (this is the default font for my template), but it suppose to be the same for arial.... For the bold fold turning normal, when you bold the font it is display as Bold style? Have you try switching to other font? Firstly, yeah, it did display as Bold style, HOWEV...

Re: Trouble with fonts, colors, and artifacts when generating PDFs from shaded drawings?
Hey, Zhen-Wei, thanks for doing that! That's interesting that it doesn't seem to be happening on your machine-- It looks like you and I are both using Arial, so unless we somehow have different files for the same font, I think you must be right about it being the machine or the graphics card. I'm wo...

Trouble with fonts, colors, and artifacts when generating PDFs from shaded drawings?
I've had this issue for years now and have yet to find a solution: When working with shaded drawing views, I can't find a reliable way to generate a PDF that will simultaneously include any bolded text, include any colored text and sketch hatches, and NOT introduce image artifacts (usually in the fo...
