Is there a way to rotate dimensions in a drawing? For instance if I do a vertical dimension , is there a way to have the dimension text be oriented horizontally instead of vertically.
If I right click on a plane and click show, the plane is displayed. However if I click in the model area the plane disappears. Why is the plane disappearing? Can I prevent this?
For each part I drag into my assembly a pair of blue arrows is displayed along with the part. The blue arrows are perpendicular to each other and appear to have their origins at what would be the origin of the x-y plane in the original part. When the part is moved the blue arrows are moved also...
Whenever I zoom in on the model and press down on the scroll bar to change my viewpoint, the model disappears. If I focus again (by pressing f) the position of the model is different from what it was before I zoomed in.
It appears that by attempting to change my viewpoint I am moving the model.
When I focus (by pressing the f button) on my model, the model appears far away. I have to zoom in to see my model.
This is making it impossible to work on my model. How can I fix this.
The message says "The sketch can not be used for a feature because an endpoint is wrongly shared by multiple entities". I have selected Cut-Extrude from the drop down box. I am attempting to make a Cut-Extrude feature from the sketch.
I turned auto-solve mode back on and I'm still getting the same message. The sketch is very large. I'm not getting any information on what points are wrongly shared.
Whenever I try to do an extrude cut I get the message "endpoint wrongly shared by multiple entities". How do I find the endpoint that is wrongly shared?
Whenever I try to create a base flange from a tab. I get a message that says "The highlighted entity contains points that are coincident but not merged. What does this mean? How can I fix it.
When I try to change the value of a fillet I get the following message.
The dimension cannot be changed because it is driven by equation 1. Please suppress the equation before changing the dimension value.
How do I find the equation?
Thanks for everyones help.
Actually the assebmbly I mentioned in the first post was generated from a step file. After I generated the assembly from the step file, the part was listed as part of a subassembly that was part of the top-level assembly. The part was listed as .sldprt. After the...
