Re: Can I hide construction lines, or dimensions, while viewing a sketch?
@martin_kopplow
Agree more contrast would be good, I find dark-mode is better for that (same blue for underdefined but fully constrained is white so the blue stands out a lot more) so try switching to dark mode temporarily next time!
The new "profile inspector" should add some way to highlight underdefined entities instead of just "loose ends". Or maybe a filter in the constraint manager for "underdefined" would be an option?
Parametric Cycloidal Drive Featurescript
Hello,
I've made a parameterized cycloidal drive generation script that I've found very useful, and I thought I'd share it in case anyone else was interested.
I'd love any feedback 🙂

Re: How to deal with adding a loft guide when sketch is broken in pieces?
Just adding, the selection UI should look something like this if you've picked correctly.
Re: Perspective View
Any update on this? I would like a default setting for this or, at least, a shortcut so I can toggle this quickly. It seems to revert to perpendicular view of its own accord which is inconvenient for those of us who prefer perspective view. Thanks!!

Re: How do I move an object to a specific coord
I think you're looking for the "transform by mate connectors" option. A mate connector is a coordinate system.
