Negative offset in sketch not working

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Fusion updated this morning (11 June 2018) and now I cannot offset in the negative direction in a sketch.

I can enter the minus sign and the offset value but nothing happens. Usually when the minus sign is entered the offset line offsets to the other side. Not any more.

I can however drag the offset line to the negative side, and then type in an offset value

I have already tried to restart fusion - the same thing happens.

I just know that someone is going to say  - "Well, what is the problem?"

The problem, from my point of view, is that you are adding an extra step into the process.

1. Select offset.

2. Check whether "chain selection" is ticked or not.

3. Select line to offset.

4. Drag line to correct side for offset.

5. Enter offset value.

6. repeat as required.

Can this not be an either/or - with the option of dragging the offset line to the other side OR entering a negative offset value?

Regards,

Brett

Hello Gunter and Steve,

I appreciate your quick follow ups.

Please let me show you my example in the following video:

As you can see, I am trying to go below the horizontal line for a specific dimension and configuration (from 4.50 mm to -4.50 mm), but it doesn´t work.

I eventually just did it differently with a workaround, but I believe it would be much more helpful and easy to do it with the negative number.

This is a simple design example, but you get the idea.

I don´t know if you have considered this scenario as a reason to keep the negative numbers.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thank you as always for your service,

Luis
