Drawing a note
ProApe
Member Posts: 130 ✭
Hello,
I have drawn a half note.
How can I connect the individual parts so that the whole note can be moved to another position and is not deformed, as is the case with my note?
Is it possible to connect the individual parts firmly together?
Kind regards
ProApe

You need to draw the full note. What you have done so far is just a sketch, you would need to extrude to give the part some thickness if you want to 3D print. I would have each type of note as it's own part.
Have you tried the learning centre courses?

Hi,
Ok, but if I want to move or duplicate the note in the sketch, is there no way around extruding it?
Which would mean that I can only move it as a part, unless I select all parts of the note individually.
I set constraints as best I could to bring the individual parts in relation to each other, but it didn't quite work: if I move it down the line, it gets deformed.
I've read many times in the courses, but I don't think I'll find the specific answer to this particular question there.

You can transform within the sketch to move/copy/rotate portions/all of a sketch.
That said, what is your ultimate goal? There may be a better way of accomplishing it rather than moving a sketch.
Are you trying to duplicate in CAD the image Ziffereblat.png?
Exactly
Don't do it in a sketch.
I would create an offset surface (or one for each of the "notes") and create a pattern of these (using transform/pattern) with a layout sketch. Then you can extrude the bits you want out of it (or whatever end result you want to use).
Something like this:
