Based on the information I provided, your solution would work. But there are some complicated drawings (a whole wack of them) that need to move with the model that make your solution not viable. Or, at least, not as viable as the option of just making a coordinate system. Thanks for the...

Ok, setting up a coordinate system is what I needed to do. For anyone who wants to know how, you just select edges and such on the part to represent the axes you want. Its extremely simple.

Setting up a coordinate system would probably be my best bet. I'll play around with that and see what I can do. thanks for the help

Yeah I thought about editing the sketch planes, but due to the somewhat unusual design of this part (I didn't design it...) that does not seem to be an option. Yeah, its not just the view I want to change. Maybe I wasn't descriptive enough. Let me try again. Say I look at this part from...

Yeah to animate a section view (you mean cut-away view, right?) you make a dummy part that consists of an extrude-cut only, and in the animation you move it into the assembly. You can edit the "feature scope" so that it only cuts through the parts you want it to. Look here for more details...

Hi, I have a part which needs to be oriented a certain way relative to the x,y,z axes. I know that reorienting the part would be easy in assembly mode, but I don't want to do it in assembly mode for various reasons. Is there an easy way to do it in the "part editing" mode that I am not...

Actually I found out how to measure in edrawings - you have to enable the option of measuring dimensions when you save the file. The default setting is for measuring to be disabled.

I have a question about using edrawings. I know it is possible to check mass properties of a model pretty easily using edrawings, but what if I want to check a few key dimensions? I know there is a “dimensioning” feature in it, but it seems like you have to input all the data instead of it...

Try doing a surface cut. Cut away one half, then save as a copy. Then go back to the original part, edit the surface cut feature so that it cuts away the other half, and save as copy. Make sense?

Hmm, I may have to do this. I wish I started off by making sub assemblies, it would have saved me an assload of time. Thanks for the advice.

Sorry, when I said "What I am required to do now is make an animation of the assembly, as it moves in the part." I meant "as it moves in the machine"

Hi, I've got an assembly of a mould. Essentially a bunch of plates with differently shaped inserts in between them, and a million pins and screws. To save time when I was making the assembly from the individual parts, I used a lot of component patterns, especially with the inserts and pins...

Yeah.. figured it out. I was right about one thing, it was really simple. In case anyone wants to know, I just added the line "$CONFIGURATION@partname<instancenumber>" as the variable for the assembly design table, and for each ass'y configuration, i wrote in what component configuration i...

This may be a basic question... hopefully the solution will be easy. I have a relatively simple assembly file. There is one main part in it that all the other parts are mated to, and this part has two different configurations that I want to use. What I want to do is set up an Assembly...

Ahh.. I was looking for a hotkey or something, similar to the way it is in other programs. I knew it would be simple though, thanks.

This is probably a stupid question, but its giving me a hard time. Is there a way to dimension from the intersection point of two lines in the drawing view? I mean being able to select two lines, and it will select the intersection point. I DON'T mean snapping right to the intersection...
