Rectangle function problem.. - nx6

[mechjames]

Hi Guys,
I have a strange question. I have been using the simple 'rectangle function' (by 2 points in sketch mode) in a number of different drawings without problem. I create my rectangle and then position it. Funny thing is I opened up another drawing, went into sketch mode and was making a rectangle but this time the rectangle was made but would not 'stick together' i.e if I tried to move it by setting inferred dimensions or dragging a side it comes apart i.e. that side moves but not the rest of the rectangle. Does anyone know why this might be?

many thanks,
James

Hi James,

Probably in the other part, the "Create Inferred Constraint" was disabbled.
Can you verify this?

Kind regards,
Pascal

Hi Pascal,
exactly correct. I enabled 'create inferred constraint' after I had selected the 'rectangle' function and it works as expected. Strange that I have never had to explicitly do that before?

I now have further (although still small) understanding of how this great application functions..

thanks for the help!

cheers,
James
