Hi all
I am trying to copy/paste some sketch geometry from ACAD to Inventor and move it to the origin point using the following process:
-Copy from ACAD
-Paste into Inventor sketch
-Select all (except projected origin point)
-Move
-Select base point (at this stage, the geometry seems free to move i.e. it follows the cursor)
-Select projected origin point to move to
-Error Dialog "The selected geometry could not be moved. Check constraint settings for sketch edit tools."
It gives me no option to relax constraints etc.
Any ideas???
Thanks
Grant
-Copy from ACAD
-Chose Paste inside Inventor
-Right click for more options
-Finish Paste into Inventor sketch
-Select all (except projected origin point)
-Move
-Select base point (at this stage, the geometry seems free to move i.e. it follows the cursor)
-Select projected origin point to move to
-Error Dialog "The selected geometry could not be moved. Check constraint settings for sketch edit tools."
Check out the extra step 😉
In addition to other suggestions - you might create an Inventor Sketch Block of the geometry for easier control.
I always just move the geometry to 0,0 in AutoCAD first. Create a new sketch in Inventor and then use insert AutoCAD file.
