And I though that my model was so neatly organized!drmacro wrote: ↑Wed Dec 01, 2021 5:57 pmYour model seems to be developed in a rather haphazard way. This may be the reason you need global coordinates.
It is typical to recommend to new user to use either Part workbench or Part Design workbench exclusively.
Once the subtleties of each is experienced, then it is advisable to understand the rules required involved when mixing the two.
If you read this wiki page and have a look at the example of creating identical models with each workbench exclusively you may find some insight:

I am trying to master the part workbench exclusively, but I have had the necessity of using the Draft and Part Design too, the first for rotating 3D objects and the latter for a sketch and clone. That being said, what gives you the impression that it is developed in a rather haphazard way? Is it because how items are arranged in the tree view or because how the model looks like or other reason?
I appreciate your time and insight.
