How to move extruded object

Anonymous — Wed, 18 Mar 2020 23:45:26 GMT

I had to change my base dimensions which caused the 2 graphics to be not centered - because I didn't dimension, or place them to a point I think. I can not figure out how to move them or even delete them. I tried editing sketch from the time line and using dimension but I can't seem to do anything from here. I've been playing with this and watching youtube videos on this for hours. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The forum can only help if they have your model. When asking a question directly about one, you must attach it along with your question.

Those SVG sketches are locked / fixed, green lines,

Unfix them, window select the articles and then click on the padlock constraint (it toggles), when they turn blue, they are free to move.

Maple leaf only just fits now, so will be able to scale them too.

Might help....

Your method of attachment is one of two main methods but placing the link in the text is a bit clumsy. Use the Link icon, in the toolbar, above this box next time. Now, I have a problem seeing your issue. You said the graphics were not centered, they are. See my screen capture. The reason you cannot move either one is because each are Fixed in each of their respective sketches. I went into the sketch, selected all of the graphic, then used the Fix/Unfix sketch constraint to make them editable. I place only one dimension in each to give you the idea. I created a approximate centered point in each for you to dimension to. You can also use a Horizontal constraint to line them up with the Origin, but I did not do that. My model is attached using the second method.

Thank you, I'm going to play around with these suggestions and step through them myself, so in the mean time - thank you very much!!
