Auto-Profiles (Mechanism)
An Auto-Profile is a special case of an MD-Solid.
Enable Add Auto-Profile (Part) to add quasi-sketch-loops and Auto-Profiles to all of the Parts in the Mechanism-Editor.
Notes:
•Enable Visibility toolbar > Show Solids in Mechanisms to see MD-Solids in Mechanism-Editors.
•To edit an Extrusion, - see How to open the Extrusion dialog.

What to do :
 Parts with Auto-Profiles. |
To Add Auto-Profiles or to Delete Auto-Profiles.
|

Result: The Rule to enable or disable is: IF ≤ 50% of the Parts have Auto-Profiles:
ELSE IF > 50% of the Parts have Auto-Profiles:

Quasi-Sketch-Loops
 Original quasi-Sketch-Loop after Add Auto-Profile |
Quasi-sketch-loops combine quasi-Arc and quasi-Line sketch-elements to a sketch-loop to control the shape of the Auto-Profile. that have these properties: •They do not have start-Points or end-Points. •You cannot select, edit, delete quasi-Arcs or quasi-Lines. •You cannot add a joint between a Part and a quasi-Line. •There is no Tangent constraint between the quasi-Arc and quasi-Line sketch-elements. However, •You can edit the Radius (dimension) of each quasi-Line. <<< In this image, when you edit the Radius of a quasi-Arc, you can see the Tangent constraint is missing between the quasi-Arc and quasi-Line. |
