Show thread details in drawing
I was hoping this would be simple,but apparently not. I have a large part with a threaded section. I need to include the thread details in the drawing for the machinist. So the part can be made in bulk (I have already 3d printed a prototype) I think you are all seeing where this is going... I have a...

Folding sheet help
I have a friend that is trying to make something with a folded sheet design. They have made .dxf files and had them bent and exported as .stl's but there are some bending errors. Mainly looking for a way to edit some of the bend values, or re fold the dfx file with corrected values. I have asked for...

Re: Fusing array fail
The Array itself has a fuse option. You can set it during creation or change it in the data tab. It works well if I set it to true and needs no fusion afterwards. That's a nice tip. Ill try that next time. Turns out my problem was because I was trying to fuse with a fillet from the PD WB. They are ...

The fist 5 copys every time. Its ...

Re: Constrain xy sketch to z sketch?
I'm not sure I understand?
How would the spreadsheet help me change the angle and adjust all the sketches without changing the position of each sketch manually?
Say I want to change the angle to 20 deg?
Or if I want to add more sketches along the same line?

Re: Constrain xy sketch to z sketch?
Not quite what I'm looking for. Seems my attachment didn't attach. I have multiple x-y sketches that all need to be attached to a movable line in the z plane. So I don't have to manually re-adjust every one each time. This version only has 3 sketches, but I would like to have finger grips which mean...

Constrain xy sketch to z sketch?
I have been working on this handle for a bit and have been making many changes to the design. Every time I do its really time consuming to get everything lined up with the 15deg angle. Is there some way I can anchor xy sketches to something in the z plane that I can change the angle on? I have been ...

Once I get the basic dimensions sorted I might try to add finger...
