Change Sketch Line Type...

Change Sketch Line Type...

Here is something that should be almost trivial to implement that would be VERY helpful when importing designs:

 

Add the ability to change line types in sketches.  In particular, add the ability to change a projected line to a normal sketch line.  When importing models, I often want to create a fully parametric model from an imported solid.  I do this by creating one or more sketches to define the features using projected lines.  I then delete the solid, overlay the projected lines with normal lines, delete the projected lines, then re-construct the solid features using the new sketch.  This works fine, but is rather laborious, the worst part being the tedious "conversion" of projected lines to normal lines.  If I could simply select the projected lines, and convert them to normal lines, the process would be quick, easy and painless.  I have to believe this would be a truly trivial thing to implement.

 

Regards,

Ray L.

Have you tried window selecting all the projected lines, right click and Break Link?

D'oh!  I can't believe I didn't see that!  Exactly what I need.  Thanks!

This goes to show that many "ideas' in the idea station are not really that new and before posting an ide it is generally better to ask in the forum if something might not already be possible.

I have a hard time believing that this has 4 votes already!
