Joining 2 points across a perpendicular plane
I created 2 semi circles on two parallel planes that are offset from eachother. I then created another plane across the flat sides of the Semi circles and im trying to sketch 2 lines from the outer points of the semi circles down that perpendicular plane. but the tool wont snap to the outer points, it will only snap to the…

rolling constraint in sketch ?
Hi all, In my great noobism, I'm looking for a "rack and pinion constraint" or something of the effect, like having an equal length constraint between an arc and a straight line in sketch. Does anyone knows how to do that? that would be a powerful enabler for cycloids, trochoid, and all things in "oid" you wouldn't want on…

Sketch fillet doesn't select
I'm trying to put a rounded corner on a rectangular extrude using the Sketch fillet operation in sketch. Contrary to what the pop-up help message says, the sketch fillet operation does not recognize or select the corner of my sketch. Is there some trick to getting the function to select within sketch?

Anyone else having "unexpected" things happen to solids when adding entities to a previous sketch??
Hello! Quickly, I created a "main sketch" and extruded a couple of solids from that. Then I went back to the main sketch to add some other entities and the first solids now have voids! OK... modify the solid and add the "new" sketch regions. But when doing a Use and Trim something I am not use to is happening. I quit…

Some tips to create sketches without projecting the part edges
Hi all, I would like to share some tips which could minimize the additional task of projecting the part edges wherever possible. According to my CAD experience I generally avoid projecting the part edges since for some reason projected sketches may fail in later stage due to changes in other geometries. In other CAD tools…

Extend an Ellipse?
I've stumbled across that an Ellipse can not be selected to Extend in a sketch? Although I did figure out a way to do this! I drew a line from the center of the ellipse out past the ellipse for convenience. Then I picked the end point of the line, then the ellipse curve and made those Coincident. After that I picked the…

Extrusion doesn't line up to sketch
If you take a look at the attached image, the top gray line is a sketch (s1). The bottom blue is the face of a part (p1). p1 is an extrusion of s1, but you can see that when zooming in, they don't line up visually. This causes a few different artifacts in my drawings, including floating lines on the faces of parts, etc.…

How can I create a sketch plane from below or above a plane .
I want to use a plane that no plane or surface exist yet. Is it possible to move a surface downward or upward direction (ie paralel to its normal vectors) ? I think this would suffice

Cant Awaken for Dimension or Convert Faces on Cylindrical sides?
So when I try to make a sketch and use a cylindrical face's top or bottom relative to sketch plane to dimension off of I cant awaken it as a line nor can I use convert entities to make it into a line. This is killing my design intent as I have to dimension off of weird points I put on a while back into my design. Am I…

How can I join paths?
I draw a star by crossing lines. Now I like to join those lines to create the start shape I am after. How can I combine all the lines so that the small segment inside either get removes or become a separate line segment that I could remove manually? I want to only have the outer lines left.
