I was at a workplace where they have SW2005 installed. I still have 2004 SP04, and I noticed an annoying difference: In SW2004, if you do a boss-extrude and then offset from surface, the extrude starts at that surface. I'm talking about a doubly curved surfaces here. Now when I did that in SW2005, there was suddenly a tab "From", that wasn't there before. I assumed that I had to set that to the surface I was offsetting from, but that did not give the results I expected: the sketch had some lines in it that were supposed to mark an area that should nog extrude (I don't have a better way to explain this, think of it as a 'hole' inside the sketch). The extrude didn't do this when I used it in combination with "blind"! It did show holes in the preview, but the result was a massive extrude :o( When I used the "Offset from surface" option, it would either extrude to the wrong direction (inside), or fail to extrude at all! Since the surface was shelled, I could not extrude from the sketch and I had to come up with tricky solutions.
Did anyone experience the same thing?
