I realize now that the title of this thread is poor. Definitely not to the point. Apologies.

Hi! Is there a trick for dimensioning in a 3D sketch? I finally had to create an "offset/through point" plane to dimension the true distance in X. It kept wanting to grab a vertex, edge, or face, and create a kittywompus dimension! Ken

I think most software companies try to convince you that you need to "upgrade" on a regular basis. If they didn't do this, they'd go out of business. I sometimes think somewhat useless features are created towards this end. The next thing you know, you're working with bloated software. Ken

I do now see the "Merge Results" check box. I also made a cylinder and rectangular box in the same sketch. They weren't touching, but still the merge option was there. I checked and unchecked it, but couldn't tell that it made a difference. Also, the naming convention in the feature manager...

Technical support for the Student Edition is via email only. No phone support at all. So you know what that means. My last two emails went unanswered. I will try again and ask about merging bodies. Ken

I can't find anything about merging bodies in my SW2006. Nada. Zip. Nothing in the Feature Manager. No right-click discoveries. Nothing in the help section on merging bodies. Bodies are talked about though. Maybe this merging thing isn't available in 2006. I also just tried making a rectangle...

Thanks all. Surprised, but glad to hear the modeling consensus. I bought the Student Edition three weeks ago, and disappointedly discovered it is version 2006. I also bought the Tickoo book and am nearly finished with it. At $25, the "I Get It" tutorials are in store. The encouragement is...

I extruded two separate rectangles to create two separate boxes, but I can't find anything about merging. Though I bought the Student Edition three weeks ago, they gave me 2006. Maybe that is the problem? And as I recall 2001, each feature of a component had to be built onto an existing...

Let me mention that I knew SW 2001 to some degree back in the day. If I can learn the new stuff, I believe I can finally land another decent job with it. I'm suffering from a little anxiety over this. Not sure where to focus: Modeling Assemblies Drawing My guess is, knowing how to handle...

I have never made a part that was more than one body. All the tutorial parts I've made have a "(1)" after "Solid Bodies." When my text book mentions a body, I'm safe to assume that means the part/component? Ken

So I'm trying to relearn SW, and have come across "bodies" in the Tickoo book. Now, I know sketches are used to make features, which make components, which make assemblies. So what the heck is a body??? Thanks a million! Ken

Thanks! I gave you a star. As I'm new, from here on out, is a star satisfactory in lieu of an actual "thanks" post? Just trying to learn the protocol! Ken

I get a message saying the search feature is down. I tried! When I open a drawing, the default is 1st angle projection. Could someone tell me how to make ALL drawing sheet sizes default to 3rd angle? I haven't been able to figure it out, and I thank you in advance. Ken

Jason, have you come to any conclusions? Ken
