jdits7 Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 I think what you are referring to is a coincident constraint. Quote
rdharvey Posted October 27, 2011 Author Posted October 27, 2011 I think what you are referring to is a coincident constraint. No not a constraint. Basically i have started a new job and all the auto cad user delete the origin point when they have started a new sketch. Thus making the sketch under defined. IE when you start a sketch there is a point isnt there? Well this can be deleted and has been on many models. How can i get it back? Quote
jdits7 Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Project Geometry, Center Point. If you want it to be on all new sketches you have to change that in the application options. Quote
rdharvey Posted October 27, 2011 Author Posted October 27, 2011 yeah it comes in as standard. its just the autocad boys leave everything floating and un-constrained. Thanks Quote

rdharvey Posted October 27, 2011 Author Posted October 27, 2011 Ask them if the machinist out on the shop floor can get away with that. lol good idea actually! every model i have opened has green sketches everywhere! gonna take ages to go through every thing and sort it out lol. Don't wanna look at the asms! Quote
JD Mather Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Start dimensioning stuff till you find a really oddball dimension. Ask them how the person out on the shop floor would view that dimension. Loosing respect out on the shop floor is nearly impossible to get back - they will go out of their way to point out all of your mistakes to the boss. On the other hand, Get a reputation of doing most things right - and when they find a mistake or something missing they will let you know without ever saying anything to the boss. Quote

A drafter is only going to look as good as his fabricators allow him to look. You screw them over, and they will pay you back. You take care of them, and life becomes much easier. Quote
