Problem extruding simple sketch?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am having a problem with Inventor 2010, I am sure it's a simple fix.

 

Whenever I draw a sketch, the lines do not automatically snap onto and existing point. This never happened in my previous version of Inventor. so now I am drawing sketches and because the lines are not actually snapping together, they are not closed sketches and the extrude command is not working. I can't seem to find a setting to sort this out?

 

It's strange because when I draw a simple rectangle using the line command, although the sketch looks fine, it will not extrude!

Constraint Persistence.

Looks like perpendicular icon.

Was not in Inventor before 2010.

There is a button on the sketch ribbon that is constraint persistence. It's possible you accidentally turned it off. As far as actual options, while you are in a sketch, right click and the pop up menu will have Constraint Options on it. This will allow you to pick which constraints are automatic.
