I can't find a thread for robot structural analysis, nor for a general autodesk discussion - so I'm putting this in here for lack of better knowledge.
How to input node co-ordinates for, e.g., a bar column?
I try to write them in the fields as instructed in the tutorial material but, infuriatingly, sometimes they go in and sometimes they don't.
And, if they are in, the next step is to 'Add', but sometimes the 'Add' button is grayed out and sometimes it isn't. When it isn't, I can use it. But usually, it is grayed out and I can't use it.
It's madness. It seems to have something to do with the cursor in the background, in the design window because sometimes coordinates obviously derived from the movement of that cursor will leap into one of the node fields but I can't find how to put a stop to that.
maybe this question is in fact generic with autodesk products, that'd be good, increase my chance of an answer...
regards,
ab
