I cannot do anything with this problem. Help me please.

I was drawing rectangles (they were green) on a wide box (I saw all of them very well) and then I extruded one of them. As result - other rectangles disapeared. When I was trying to solve this(don't remember how), I made terrible mistake. All rectangles appeared, but then they were yellow. So now I cannot do anything with them, even delete. Help!

Attach the ipt file here that exhibits this behavior.

 

Sounds like all you need to do was right  click on the sketch and turn on Visibility.

Sounds like you created a new sketch and Project Geometry.

 

Have you gone though the Help>Learning Tools>Tutorials and Skillbuilders?

You have created more than one profile and when you have extruded the first the others will have disappeared. Right click on the first sketch in the 'Model Browser' and select 'share sketch'. You can then extrude the other profiles you have created.

 

Hope this helps!

It doesn't work. I don't see any changes. It's time to read WikiHelp.

There are many sketches in this part.  There are several ways to turn off the visibility of the sketches if that is what you are wanting to do.

Tip:

To find the sketch in the browser, right click on an element in chose "Find in Browser".  then right click on the sketch name in the browser and uncheck "Visibility.

 

You can turn off all sketches in the part from View>Object Visibility.  Uncheck 2D and 3D sketches here.

 

Post back if you need more help.

Expand the View Node.  Right click and choose "New" to create a new view rep. Name it whatever you want or leave it "View1".  Now turn the visibility of the sketches off and they will stay now.

 

With the "Master" view rep selected, it is locked and can't be changed, so the changes that you make to the "Object Visibility" are lost when you close the file.  If you turned off each sketch by selecting it and unchecking the visibility, it should stay on/off even with the Master view representation.

I think you are going about this the wrong way and doing too much work.

 

Sketch1 is unconstrained.

http://home.pct.edu/~jmather/SkillsUSA%20University.pdf

 

Sketch2 is not needed.

 

Right click on Sketch3 and then hit F8.

Sketch3 is not constrained and already has way too many constraints and dimensions.

You should not need to repeat dimensions - pattern features rather than sketches.

 

...I gave up after that.  Most of your sketches are not needed and it appears that you should take some time out to go through the tutorials.

 

What book are you using to learn Inventor? 
Have you taken a class?

I learn Inventor without books. I'm Ukrainian. The Ukraine use method "tourns and mistakes".

I recommend that you spend a couple of weeks going back through the questions posted here finding as many posted files as you can and examine the problem and solutions by editing the sketches and features.

Have you gone through this

Inventor is a professional program and deserves (requires?) a professional level of preparation.
