Sketches in CAM
I need to re-orient my part for CAM and can't figure out exactly how to do it. Basically I'm Y-up now and I need Z-up. My part is mostly cylindrical with no orthaganal cuts in it so I cannot select grooves or anything to re-orient my axes. What would be really handy is for me to be able to see sketches in CAM Studio. Then…
Using another Sketch as a guide?
I think I would have an easier time if I could make a new sketch, and have it be able to snap to other sketches (points, lines etc.) Think of it as using another sketch as a construction line. Or is this possible somehow? I can't figure it out. The only things I can really snap to are the sketch itself, the origin and…
Default offset & fillet dimensions
I often try to do an offset, and get the message "Offset cannot be created at this distance". But the problem is I cannot get to the point where I can actually change the dimension because the default dimension is unresolvable, so I cannot 'place' the offset and change the dimension. (Doing a reverse offset and then…
Can points be added to an existing sketch with feature script?
I want to add functionally derived points to a sketch to use as anchors. Can I do this with feature script? In a way I'm asking to create a custom constraint.
Sketches and Points confusion
I'm trying to made a sketch with a bunch of dimensions. After a bunch of working on it and getting it to work. My sketch looks enclosed... but it does not appear shaded as a solid sketch. How can I weld the points? If I attempt to move my entire sketch by selecting all,, upon moving, lines start breaking apart showing me…
