How to move a constrained rectangle?

ronydee — Fri, 22 Nov 2024 13:57:18 GMT

Reference to the attached project file: PCB Enclosure: Sketch15

I modified the shell thickness which affected Sketch15 position. Now I need to move Sketch15 up, where the bottom of the rectangle to be flush with the new shell thickness?

Hi,

I am very unsure as to what you want to do. Can I have some more information please?

So far I have solved the yellow flag in the timeline by associating Sketch 15 with the same level as the cutout.

Is this what you want?

BTW. Two of your sketches are not fully constrained that may cause you issues. Also, what happened to the other

sketches? Deleting or Removing information from a design is a BAD idea as it breaks the workflow chain and

makes it harder to work out what went on earlier in the design.

Moving and capturing position is a BAD workflow. If you are not going to Design in Place and use as As-Built Joint

then turn off the visibility of the Components in the way, Design from the Origin and then use a normal Joint.

Cheers

Andrew

Hi Drewpan,

thank you for replying. Man you guys are certainly top notch understanding 3D modeling. I'm just learning as I go before running into a wall. Just a hobbyist modeling simple designs for the drum conversions to electronics. I wish there was a course I could take other than watching youtube videos and constantly searching on the forum, but sometimes they do not talk about certain aspects as you mention.

Anyway, the attached pic hopefully explains what I need to accomplish. The other sketch (PCB sled): I ungrounded to the PCB enclosure so I could separate both. The PCB sled slides into the enclosure. Sketch15 is what the sled will slide into.

I need to go back and look at constraints again so I know what to look for anything that is not constrained.

thank you again

Ron

Hi,

The best way to get your teeth into fusion is check out RULE #0, 1 & 2 pinned to the top of the forum. They revolve

around reading the Docs, doing the embedded tutorials and getting stuck into the Self Paced Learning. Time spent

doing this is NEVER wasted. Then check out the AutoDesk Fusion YouTube Channel. All sorts of good stuff at all

levels. AutoDesk University is also good.

In terms of fixing your floor in the enclosure, you can do it a couple of ways. If the sketch is exactly the correct

shape just not in the plane you want it then you can do an extrusion but instead of from the profile plane, extrude

from an Offset or an Object.

The other way you might be able to do this is with the Press Pull command, where you literally select the face and

pull or push it up or down.

Try those and see what you get.

Cheers

Andrew

Edit the file, hide (eyeballs) the body, and first 2 sketches,

Edit Sketch 15, window select and delete all of this sketch. Unhide the body

Create > Project > Intersect - set to body, click on the inside wall of the box where sketch 15 is, say Ok, Hide the body.

(Should have the wall and cabinet pieces in purple)

Draw a line and dimension it above the floor. (old one was 3mm high) Connected to the front and back vertical lines.

Finish Sketch.

Edit the yellow Extrude feature, right click and select edit feature.

Reselect the 3mm rectangle for the extrude. Say Ok.

Will look like these. (It is very common to go back in the timeline and edit stuff with new ideas)

Might help....

Hi,

I would like to point out that this question has already been asked in the same way in

Yeah i was thinking since this was a different task i placed it in a new thread. Maybe not.. sorry for confusion thank you.
