    save history tree expansion

    Is there a setting to save your history tree expansion so that when you open your part every day, you don't have to re-expand the tree? The tree colapses every time I close and then re-open it. I don't want to see all of my sketches expanded so I don't want to expand all every time. That takes...

    Face inversion makes smooth edge become sharp

    Hello. I have a part that I am translating from V4 to V5 with history. I have been able to work through all of the errors except for one. It is a feature definition error on a Thickness feature. The error says, "Face inversion makes smooth edge become sharp." There is a face that...

    Adding draft to planar surface - ribbon error - V5

    I am new to this forum. I don't see any place to attach an image or to find your e-mail address so that I can send a screen image to you. Please advise. Thanks, Sheryl Fredricks sheryl@fredricks.com

    Adding draft to planar surface - ribbon error - V5

    This is also a part that I am rebuilding from V4. The neutral surface is from V4. It is curved on one end but the area the intersects the U shaped surface is flat. Maybe I should try to create a new neutral surface for this draft feature that is totally flat. More info about what I am trying...

    Adding draft to surfaces - error - V5

    Thanks, jackk. My neutral plane for this draft is actually at the bottom of the set of surfaces that I am trying to draft. I want the walls to draft inward from the bottom surface. I am able to draft the walls out, but not in. Any other ideas are welcome. Thanks again. Sheryl

    Adding draft to planar surface - ribbon error - V5

    Thanks, jackk. My U shaped surface is actually square. I guess I should have said "a square U shaped surface." There are no rounded features involved. Any other ideas? Thanks again. Sheryl

    Adding draft to surfaces - error - V5

    Hello. I am using V5R10. (This is a different problem than my previous draft problem post.) I am trying to rebuild the history of a V4 model in V5 using paste special. One of the drafts failed so I deleted it. I am trying to add draft back in the same area of the history tree. I would like...

    Adding draft to planar surface - ribbon error - V5

    Hello. I am V5R10. I am trying to add draft to a "U" shaped planar face with a surface for the neutral element. I keep getting an error that says, "A single operation cannot process more than one ribbon." Does anyone know what this means and how I can get the face to...
