hello, sorry my english is very bad...

Bonjour,

Description du problme:
CU est-il capable de lier une courbes sur une surface bomb©e, tout en gardant le lien des normales de cette mme surface?

Exemples d'application:
Mitraillages, sertissage de pierres sur bijoux, distribution de pierres le long d'une trajectoire sur une surface bomb©e, etc.

Ci.dessous:
4 exemples.
1- dessin d'une courbe sur une surface avec: l'outil/palette splines/splines-surface.
2- projection d'une courbe sur la surface avec: l'outil/projection.
3- explosion d'une arrte g©n©r©e par le biais de l'affichage d'une ligne isoparam©trique/palette infos objet/affichage/1V

Puis: distribution d'un volume sur une trajectoire/duppliquer-trajectoire.

Pour exemple:
certains logiciels de conception en bijouterie ont une fonction: lier la courbe au support.

CU as-t'il cette fonction cach©e quelque part? ou le moteur ACIS ne le permet tout simplement pas?
Cela serait ©tonnant, ©tant donn© que CU propose un outil de perage (frais©, lam©) performant et qu'il sait reconna®tre les normales, perages sur sphres et autres sans problme.

Merci d'avance pour vos ©claircissements.

Hello, Description of the problem: Is CU able to bind curves on a convex surface, while keeping the bond of the normals of this same surface? D' examples; application: Corrosions, setting of stones on jewels, distribution of stones length d' a trajectory on a convex surface, etc Ci.dessous: 4 examples. 1- drawing d' a curve on a surface with: l' tool/pallet splines/splines-surface. 2- projection d' a curve on surface with: l' tool/projection. 3- explosion d' one stops generated by the means of l' posting d' an isoparametric line/pallet infos object/affichage/1V Then: distribution d' a volume on a trajectory/duplicate-trajectory. For example: certain software of design in jewellery has a function: to bind the curve to the support. CU have-t' it this hidden function some share? or doesn't engine ACIS allow it quite simply? That would be astonishing, since CU proposes a tool for drilling (milled, lam©) powerful and qu' it can recognize the normals, drillings on spheres and others without problem. Thank you d' advances for your explanations.

It seems we both used Babelfish/Altavista/Yahoo. So, all i can add is line breaks, for ease of reading:

Hi Antoine,

I can see/understand what you are attempting, but, for such a function you would require an "Array along surface" or similar. So I think this is a limitation with the alignment.
