Sketch selection priority

markzonf360 — Fri, 04 Apr 2025 06:44:01 GMT

Hi All,

When I am sketching, I cannot seem to select sketch entities that are within bodies. I have to hide the body before I can select the sketch entitiy.

Example: I create a spline that I want to use to extrude and split a solid. I will create the spline 'overlaying' the solid. When I go to move around the spline nodes, it is all but impossible to do so. It keeps selecting faces or edges of the solid in view. I find I have to hide the solid.

I have gone into the selection priority drop-down, but amazingly, I cannot choose 'sketch item ' as the top priority. Is there another setting that I can change somewhere?

Surely, in sketch mode, the sketch entity should be topmost select priority item?

Thank you. This is exactly my problem. I tried what you showed, and was aware of holding down the left-click, but after I choose the item it won't let me manipulate it?

No, the spline is in the same component. I'll make another file for you.

Thanks, but when I change to Open GL, I get this warning:

This is why I had Direct X11 chosen.

Also I did the repair utility, and nothing has changed. I have the same problem?

I changed also to Open GL.

I changed back to 'auto-select' so Fusion can decide. Otherwise I get the warning everytime I start up.

I fixed the problem. The 'Select Through' check box was not active. Now it all works, thanks.

Nice to hear!

Because of this statement, I assumed that you had also checked the “Selection Filter”.

Hmmm, I can't recall changing the setting, but I may have. I think the 'select through' could be better worded. Anyway, thanks again!
