How to use the Stretch tool in IRONCAD

The Stretch tool Part/Assembly i IRONCAD is very similar to what you can find in e.g. CAXA (2D CAD) - select a "stretch plane" and set a value, done! Everything that is cut through the plane is stretched and everything in front is moved correspondingly far forward.

‍

‍

Launch the tool and click on an edge of the part. A large grey plane is placed.

‍

‍

The stretch direction (blue arrow) may need to change direction, which is available on its own button or use TriBall.

‍

‍

Enter the Stretch Distance value itself and then execute.

Note: On a assembly, parts that should not be stretched or moved can be "hidden" by suppressing them first. You can also select several different assemblys and parts to be affected by the Stretch tool.

Here you can watch a film showing the tool:
