Close Loop

Anonymous — Sun, 11 Sep 2016 17:24:19 GMT

This sketch is fully constraint. When I tried to closed the loop it is becoming unconstraint. How solve this problem?

This is a YouTube video. It is proceeding without constraining the sketch.

Time 48:38

Usually experienced cad people doesn't use pattern or mirrors in sketch (because of this and other issues).

Just make a solid from the two representative parcels, and do a circular pattern to complete all the part.

I did the way you said. But 6 made too big and 5 made too small. How to fix it?

Stick to the video ... I'm not a fan of this guys Tutorials on Youtube, nor do I believe you should do differently from what he's showing you. Even if it's wrong..

Look at the angles of the end of the patterns, it won't match up.

Have you gone through the tutorials provided in Inventor?

SO many better options then doing 2012 tutorials from YouTube.. I'm just looking out for you.... I would finish it out patterning the sketch, shelling etc.

Hi fiatnm,

I think you were on the right track, in your attempt to simplify the sketches here!

See the other link for how to get this part worked out.

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
Curtis
