    Layout Sketches

    I always try to relate things to reference geometry/planes/axis rather than other features to cut down on dangling. The attached picture shows my grid sketch with planes attached. Then I have my part extrude up to the planes, that way if I change the grid all my parts will update with...

    Mirrored Parts' Configurations

    OK… I have a part and its mirror (also a part) which consists of the original part as a solid body. Since I created it, I added a configuration to the original which I would like to show up in the mirrored one. I've added a configuration to the mirrored part but cannot find a way to specify...

    Layout Sketches

    I'm currently working on a project using this method… it works well (usually) but there are a couple of irritations. My biggest pet peeve is that my "driving" sketch contains blocks and anytime I edit the blocks, all relations to them are lost. If I were to do it over, I'd make my driving...

    How to copy sketch geometry

    I'm always leery of "convert entities"… it seems to bog things down and is prone to dangle. I'll trace over the seed sketch if it is a onetime thing, if it is repeated I'll go with a block.

    Lines With Arrow Heads

    I cannot find the (right click) options you speak of... I think the next release should be only improvements in the drawing platform.

    Lines With Arrow Heads

    OK, it's that time of the quarter and I need to produce an actual drawing... Is there a way to draw a line/arc/spline with an arrowhead on the end (that is not a note)? If not and I have to cheat by putting an empty note (with leader) on the end of the line, how do I adjust the size of the...

    Copy Whole Sheet From One Drawing into Another Drawing???

    I’m not sure if you can copy the whole sheet but you can copy the views. I just did that yesterday and it saved me a bunch of time. I used the Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V with no worries, even the notes and dimensions came along for the ride. I was surprised it worked because I did it on a lark.

    Revision Clouds (cont)

    A block is a good idea if it is a regular shape, I guess I’ll make several. For the odd shapes I’ll just have to play connect the arcs. To be honest, I am surprised at how many people don’t know what a revision cloud is. I guess you guys just don’t use them. So the bottom line is that all...

    Revision Clouds (cont)

    In architecture and structural engineering (usually after the drawings have been sealed and permitted) it is common practice to “cloud” an area or item that has been changed along with a numbered triangle. In the title block there is a revision table with the number, description, date...

    Revision Clouds (cont)

    This is the continuation of the closed thread559-110830 RE: revision clouds. Has SW intentionally ignored you and have come up with a “cloud” linetype? The above thread is an interesting read on the esoteric value of standards however, in the real world you have to do what your boss wants...
