    Problem with Mirror Feature

    I have been trying to mirror a set of Extruded Cuts about a plane that is 45 degrees to those cuts. When I select the 45 degree plane and the Extruded Cuts as the features to pattern I get one of two messages both resulting in the mirror's failure. With the "With Geometry Pattern" and...

    How do you move sketch from one plane to another

    Hello, Is there an easy way to move a sketch from one plane to another? I am trying to move a sketch that was imported from AutoCAD from the Front Plane to the Top Plane where it consistently arrives during the “import to a new part” operation. Thanks

    3DSketch lines not parallel to principle axes

    Thank you both for the tips. I tried creating the 3DSketch again but this time picked a different plane and it did work as I expected. So, is it the case that the plane to which you would like to initially parallel is the plane that you should select when you initiate this command? I've been...

    3DSketch lines not parallel to principle axes

    SW2006 sp 1.0 I am trying to use a 3DSketch in a "new part" in the context of an assembly. This 3d line will become the basis for a sweep that will represent a 1/4" O.D. air line. The problem is that every time I create the 3DSketch within the assembly (using the TAB to alternate between the...

    Create part from a sketch in an assembly

    Thanks for the help. I started a new part while in the assembly and have made my sketch. Now, how do I get out of this "grayed and translucent assembly" mode?

    Create part from a sketch in an assembly

    I have created a 3dSketch in my top level assembly that I would like to "export" to a part so that I may use it as a path for a sweep. Is there a way to do this?

    AutoCAD Blocks inserted into Solidworks Drawings

    Thank you all for the help. I have managed to insert the acad file into the slddrw file but am still experiencing a serious slowdown of the SW program in that particular SW drawing once I do.

    AutoCAD Blocks inserted into Solidworks Drawings

    I have many 2D blocks created in AutoCAD that I use in the creation of assembly drawings. I would like to insert these into a Solidworks 2006 slddrw file. Using the standard Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to cut and paste from AutoCAD to Solidworks causes Solidworks to crash. I thought of converting the...

    Trim 3DSketch line at point it pierces plane

    I am new to solidworks and want to know if there is a command that would allow one to trim a 3DSketch Line at the point that it pierces a reference plane. Also, is there a way to rotate, change the font of or scale the reference plane labels. Thank You.
