Hey everyone,
So I have a 3D sketch. As you can see in the image attached, there are circles on a 2D plane that are attached to circles on another 2D plane via all the purple lines. My goal is to do a sweep for each of the circles so that I can get a bunch of holes. However, after I do the first sweep, the sketch disappears (see pic 2) and I do not know how to go back to the sketch so I can sweep again and again. If you can help me figure out what to do it would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Khash
Shared Sketch:
or
Hi Khash,
all what you need to do is share both sketched from "Sweep 2". See steps below:
Steps:
1. Expand "Sweep2" feature in the browser
2. RMB click to used "3D Sketch" and click to "Share Sketch"
3. RMB to used "2D sketch" and click to "Share Sketch"
I hope it helps.
Regards,
Martin
Before you get too much invested in this part - investigate the problem with Loft1 (i in circle).
Thanks for the responses everyone.
This reply will be for 90210 and the next reply (below) will be for JD.
Ok so I think I did step one, and then when I right click on the 3D sketch to execute your step 2, I do not see a share sketch option. Please see the pic below for what I mean. Also, I assumed that RMB means "right mouse button".
Best,

Hey JD, thanks for your response.
I have looked into the i in the circle. The pic below has the error message. I thought it might be because the line is blue so I deleted this line and drew a new line (green) and it still gave me a similar error. I am not sure why this is but am currently looking into it more.
Best regards,

I think I figured it out.
I just right click on the sketch and then click " visibility " and then I can keep sweeping.
As for the " i " in the circle, I still have not figured out how to get rid of that. When I make the new line (green) two of the errors go away (the ones called: constraint to unresolved reference geometry) but 2 remain (the ones called: dimension to unresolved reference geometry).

Green is unconstrained - not ideal, but not a real problem either.
The problem is the pink (sick) geometry (looks like only a point in this case).
BTW - you are correct in turning on Visibility to re-use sketches. They are now automatically shared by Inventor when re-used. Oh, and the hand symbol on your sketches in the browser - that means they are already set as Shared Sketches.
