Flexible sketch symbol.

[Ktelang]

I dont know any way of making a flexible sketch symbol.

say the way hatch can be flexed in autocad.

is that something which can be done in inventor.

Or am I asking too much

Thanks

I don't know what this means.
Can you attach a dwg here that demonstrates what you are trying to replicate in Inventor?

if you create a hatch in AutoCAD and you remove the associativity then you can pull/ stretch the corners of the hatch.
I am at home right now do not have access to any software but I am trying to create a sketched symbol which can be inserted in a drawing and the corners can be stretched . which I think inventor does not support
if you know of a way please share if not clear I will send you a file first thing tomorrow morning.

Right click on the sketched symbol and select "Edit Symbol...". In the dialog box that appears, uncheck "Static" and click "OK". When you click on your sketched symbol, yellow glyphs should appear that will allow you to stretch the symbol. The blue glyph will allow you to rotate it.

Hello Jeff,

Thanks for the reply, I knew about static but wanted more control on each vertex.

Say, in a sketched symbol if you create a rectangle and remove the perpendicular and parallel contraints.

Then you get sketch which can fit any quadrilateral.

Please find the Inventor dwg file attached. The static uncheck just gives you control on scalability of the sketched symbol. Please let me know If I am wrong.

Its my bad I should had specifically mentioned about that thing in my previous post.

Thanks
