Vagulus Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 In http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showth...8-Inventor-101 I am at posting 33 and I came to a halt. I can't draw a point on the flat, and I don't see any midpoint on the created line. What do I have wrong? Table.ipt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Right click on Sketch3 and select Edit Sketch (if not already in sketch editing environment). Select the sketch point tool. Click the midpoint (green dot will appear) of the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagulus Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 Oooops! Mea Culpa! I forgot to mention that I am using Inventor 2015. I don't get any centrepoint showing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I opened your file in 2015. The image I posted above is from 2015. The image you posted is from the other end of the Ribbon than the image I posted. Of course if you want to create a sketch point need to be on the Create tab as shown in my image. I recommend you sign up for a class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagulus Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Thanks JD Unfortunately, Classes are beyond my financial reach. Perhaps they won't be, on day, if I can get a grip on Inventor. You cannot understand how much your help is appreciated. I am sure there are many who echo that comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 So, did you figure it out? The Point Format tool at the other end of the ribbon is for toggling a Point to a Center Point or a Center Point to a Point. Try it! Select the endpoint of a line and then click that tool or select a Center Point and click that tool. At some point (pun intended) as I continue the Tutorial - we will see the point of toggling the style of a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagulus Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 I am up to my armpits in something else at the moment. I'll get back to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
