If i made a face shapebinder, i can simple switch on the face to put the sketch on it, with the Edges i didnt know how to place the sketch on it. I hope you understand where my problem is.
You can usually achieve it with datum plane.
Make sure you use edges of sketches (usually white), not edges of solids (usually black) for your shapebinders. Otherwise you will run into the same problem (maybe even worse, since there are usually more edges than faces, so numbers are more likely to change).
In the meantime i have also tried to make one hole a little bit differnt to the other ==> it works fine. No wrong mapping!
But i am very interesting in working on a more stable workflow, so i am looking forward to your explanations.
So how to put the Datum plane on the shapebinder line? I have tried it, but didnt get sucess on the attached File. On xy plane its no problem, because shapbinder line is on xy. But i want the datum plane to xz plane to draw the "Leg" (german word "Fuss"). If i use the "Object xz" selection in the datum plane menue it will be possitioned on the global (0,0,0) coordinates. But the shapebinder line is located at (-663.5,207,97). How to achieve that the datum plane is shifted to 207?
So the next bug with shapebinder. I have attached the file. I wanted to create a shabebinder from sketch01. Please have a look how the shapebinder002 lines are positioned. They arent on the right coordinates ? Bug?
Edit:
I am sorry to bother you, after i closed the File and reloded it it works like expecting. Recompute doesnt solve it.
Use Normal To Edge attachment mode. Pick Y axis, and a vertex of the line (shapebinder).
I recommend you shapebinder-in the whole sketch rather than individual edges. You will have more options for your attachment, and quick access to all other edges, should you realize you need them.
Your design begs for master-sketch approach, IMO. Sketch up some very simple projections for your whole build. Just outlines, without intricate details such as joint geometry. Then construct individual pieces one by one, using that master sketch for datums.
