Sketch mode, a little confused

Anonymous — Tue, 13 Sep 2016 04:40:23 GMT

In sketch mode so I draw a circle whose centre point is origin. Dimension it etc then go to move it. I can't move it - or more correctly it will not move. Move handle appears but it won't move. Any reason?

Hi livin.free,

When you create a circle at sketch origin, the circle will be coincident to the sketch origin automatically. So you cannot move it anymore.

You need to delete the coincident constraint first, then you can move the circle freely. You can do this by click and RMB on the center point and select "Delete Coincident"

Thanks,

Frank

Ok, thanks Frank. Now that I know this I can actually use this to my advantage as in once instance, having a circle fixed (my next model is a rotating machine by the way) and creating others based on this fixed circle could work for me quite well now that I have given that some though.

Anyway, you answered my question, thank you.
