Re: How can I display a grid when I am drawing an sketch?
Can you take it one step further and make it 3d so it only needs created once and placed at the beginning of the feature tree?

Re: How to make Teardrop shape?
Use Evan's method but you will need to use a spline or more arcs in your sketch to get closer to a tear drop shape.

Re: Split part - What determines which side is which?
I know. This sucks.
The best way to prevent that is to Transform-copy in place-. this way you ensure a new part is created.
then split each of them without 'keep both sides'.
One of the first custom features 'Split to new" i built was for this particular issue.
Split part - What determines which side is which?
When using the Split feature to split a part, I get two parts, great. But one of these parts seems to have the same "identity" as the original, and the other is "new". What determines which side of a split is the old part and which one is the new? Can I control it?
My main reason for asking is that inserting a split into the middle of a feature tree can cause errors when downstream features reference the wrong body
Re: How to make Teardrop shape?
Model half of it. I used arcs with tangent constraints between them and made the center of the bottom one coincident with the origin.
