wimal Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I just using cad 2014 trial version. using line command I draw two lines, one point is common to both. next I select one line and selected one grip and moved it. just I need to change the point that I selected. but whole line and attached line also moving with it. how can I stop it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 When you say "moved it", do you mean you start the command Move? What happens if you instead just click on the grip that you want to move (so that it turns red) and then move away with your cursor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimal Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Yes even I used move command the whole set of lines are moving. Even the grip changed to red I can change the point along the line. But I cant change the point where I need. If I draw a horizontal line I cant change it's anle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 The MOVE-command is meant to move everything that you have selected. If you just want to change one point on a line, the easiest way is to click on the grip and move it. Are you trying to change it in Z-direction? Anle?

ReMark Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Did you use the polyline command instead of the line by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimal Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 I think this is some thing setting of constrains. But I am not familiar that facility. When I draw a horizontal line and try to rotate it. Messages are displaying regarding constrain ( you ma know it)s. I cant even rotate that line. it is moving insted of rotating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimal Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 The message when try to rotate. One or more object has constraints that prevent geometry to be rotated. What do you want to do. * Relax the constraint + Maintain the contraints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Disable Infer Constraints via the icon in the lower left hand corner of your screen. You can also Delete Constraints via the Ribbon > Parametric tab > Manage panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimal Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Ok thanks . the problem solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestly Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Infer Constraints is probably #1 on my list of Most Hated Drafting aids Autodesk should have never introduced. I've used Constraints to do some cool stuff that would have been difficult without, but the "inferred" constraints are just an annoyance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Geometric constraints should be forced on all users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nestly Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Geometric constraints should be forced on all users. I'd force my foot upon the posterior of anyone that attempted to make constraints automatic in AutoCAD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Ah, those damn constraints. If geometric constraints had been introduced in AutoCAD as always on, never a choice and fully functional, then I wouldn't have a problem with them. As it is, they are snuck in, most don't know how to use them and they are mostly a pain. I have the same philosophy with upgrades or new software - don't make it optional. If you make it optional, people will choose not to do it, which will cause problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a disaster for Autodesk and their current habit of releasing half-baked features, and failing to fix reported bugs during Beta testing. Being able to disable and revert to "classic" behavior and legacy tools is often only thing that makes the new versions tolerable at least until SP1 & SP2 get released which is typically ~6months and ~11 months respectively.

Yep, completely agree. Which is why I added "fully functional". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestly Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 In a perfect world perhaps, but "fully functional" is an oxymoron in the realm of Autodesk. I'm having trouble thinking of a single new feature in the last 5 years that was "fully" functional/bug free when introduced. For that matter, I'm not even sure there's any that are fully functional 5 years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 If (but they didn't) Autodesk had made geometric constraints as painless as they are in Inventor, SolidWorks or Creo - they would be very useful in AutoCAD. I dislike the way they work in AutoCAD, but then, I dislike AutoCAD..... I know how they could work if implemented correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
