JWF Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Normally, when creating a rectangle, each corner will stay at a right angle . However, just this past week, when I have placed a rectangle, NO such constraints come in:(. In other words, I place a rectangle, and I am able to grab a corner and drag it to any location, causing the entire shape to change. The only way I have been able to make use of a rectangle is to manually make the edges perpindicular to each other. Have I inadvertently switched a setting? I have no idea how this happened . Quote
jdits7 Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Make sure you have Constraint Persistence selected. Including a pic to show. Quote
JWF Posted July 7, 2010 Author Posted July 7, 2010 ah ha! thanks so much. it looks like my "constraint persistence" button isnt in a drop down list as it is in your 2011 inventor. I am using 2010. I must have hit that thing accidentally. Quote
jdits7 Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Sorry, didn't notice that you were using 2010. I will catch that one next time. Quote
ghietzki Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 got a minor problem here too. previously, i can easily draw an arc while on a line command, but now its not working anymore. is there a setting for this as well? Quote
JD Mather Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Same setting indicated above. Also check your Constraint Properties (RMB) to see that you didn't turn off automatic coincident constraints. Quote
ghietzki Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 ic, thanks. it was the constraint options indeed... Quote
JD Mather Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 ic, thanks. it was the constraint options indeed... I have never ever seen a need to change these? If I don't want an autoconstraint I simply hold the Ctrl key during that part of the sketch. Quote
ghietzki Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 well, for sure i didnt change it on purpose. i would have known if i did. rgds Quote
ghietzki Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 hey guys, i have a 2d profile which i projected to a curved face of a solid. i'd like to ask you if its possible to extrude that projected curved 3d profile that is created using 3D sketch/project to surface/wrap to surface... if not, what is the right approach in order to extrude such projected sketch? thanks Quote
JD Mather Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Emboss or Split Thicken You should have started a new thread for this problem - it is unrelated to the current thread. Quote
