Hi,
>> when I edit the sketch
AutoCAD does not have objects called "sketch", what exactly have you selected (the property window shows you the exact naming if you have something selected).
Also please let use know which command or function you used ... "edit" is a so generic wording. I don't know how many options AutoCAD really have, but there exist a lot of commands and functions to edit something inside AutoCAD.
>> I wanted to increase the height of the box
In your screenshot I see a box (in the front) and a plane-like type behind the box (whatever object type this is).
But when you want to modify the box you need to select the box, not the other object.
You can try this:
- press <ESC> until nothing is selected and no command is active
- press and hold key <CTRL> and left click the upper face of your box ==> this shows you the gizmo (as long as you are in the same visual style as you showed in your screenshot, seems "conceptual")
- now position your cursor over the arrow of the gizmo which shows upwards ==> you'll get a vertical line presented
- now use left-click to pick the start-point and then move the cursor upwards ==> now the upper box face moves up
HTH, - alfred -
