Trouble with Imported Unconstrained DXF Sketches

maxwell_omdalmaxwell_omdal Member Posts: 2
I imported a DXF file into my sketch, and non of the points are constrained. Trying to add other sketches or points in the sketch is so slow it's basically unusable. I'm not sure what the issue is, but I'd have to imagine it has to do with the DXF imported sketch. I've checked browser compatibility, tried two different computers in two different browsers. There's no obvious issues in the performance tab either.

    Yes, imported sketches come in unconstrained. AFAIK DXF does not support export of constrained drawing anyway. So there is nothing OS could do, except run an autoconstraint on it, which may or may not create the constraints you want or need. You'll probably need to constrain the relevant elements manually and discard the rest.
