Yes John,
It is only coincident parametric I used.
You may have figured it out by now, but just a short description that may be useful not only for you but also for others:
- Offset the red line out so I can start doing coincident. (A)
- Starting with end points, I coincident the end point of each short edge of red line to relative end point of short edge on the block by: (B)
- Coincident
- Hover above point x1
- click
- hover above point y1
- click
- Continue this to finish all end points. And move int. point of red line out(as they have moved in and out) by click and grip move (C)
- Try to move each block and see if they move freely with end points of red line.
- If one of them is locked in position, it means you have selected the longer edge of a line on the block somewhere.
- hover above each coincident on corners of the locked block
- find the one that highlights the longer leg not the short leg
- delete the coincident
- move the end point of the red line out by grip point
- do the coincident
- Try to move again see if block are not locked. You don't need to end the move command. Just scape out if it moves. (D)
- It is time to coincident int. points of red line to int. points of 2 blocks.
- Coincident
- Enter (to select an object)
- Select line x
- Enter
- Hover above point x2 on red line
- When point marker appears, click
- Coincident
- Enter
- Select line y
- Enter
- Hover above point y2 on red line
- click when point marker appears
- Try to move to see if you did it correctly. If yes do the same for all other 3 point. if not try again.
- Now try to move. If one of the blocks is locked again, its not for int. points. Go and check other end points. Find the one that highlights the longer leg of a block. Delete, move the point out and do coincident again. (F)
- Work is done.
I hope these steps help users get a good use of coincident parametric.
Now try to fix your block to have only one polyline. Let me know if anything goes wrong.
Share your work when you done as you want it.
I attach the same block again, to make it easy for people who search the word coincident, so it is with this post. No change to your block since last post.
Cheers,
