Some Lines Not Visible And Cannot Copy and Paste

Anonymous
Not applicable

 

Refer to video below.

Issue 1:
At top of sketch, between the left and right arc, there are several (5) chained lines. they all belong to same sketch folder.
But only left and right lines are visible. WHY?

Note the bottom set of lines between the arcs also belong to the same sketch folder as the top. And they are all visible.

Issue 2:

I copied the entire sketch from Component1.
Then activate Component2, and tried to paste into it.
There is NO pasted option.
How do I copy from component1 to component2?

1. It makes little sense to break out such a simple sketch into 4 different sketches.

2. When you are copying, you have to start a new sketch into which you can paste all these elements.

 

I am not sure what you intend to accomplish by that.

Solved.

 

I did this per your suggestion:

 

I copied the entire sketch from Component1.
Then activate Component2, and

then Create sketch or select a sketch folder and right click.

Paste into it the new sketch.

Thanks.

Issue 2 was solved, but not issue 1.

Any idea?

That is difficult to answer without having access to your file.

However, I see these chained lines you describe. They are simply a different color (purple).

 

But, again, it does not make a lot off sense to me to make 4 separate sketches for something that simple.

If you can post a sketch (perhaps on paper wit pencil) or an image of what you are trying to design it would probably best.

I am not trying to do anything yet.

I am still learning F360.

And it has been very painful...

 

 

 

Here it is file:

http://a360.co/1ScI9gK

 

Those chained lines are just for leaning, regardless of purpose for now.

For component1, when sketch-constr is turned off, and the rest of sketch folder on,

you see the two purple lines while the other lines are white.  WHY?

 

Another problem: Unable to moving object in sketch.

 

Can you show how to move the top left rectangle away from the group to detach it?

I have problem trying to move it away.

See screencast below.

With all due respect, your training exercises are aimless without a distinct goal.

I stand by what I said, making 4 sketches and copying and projecting stuff between them is not going to get you anywhere.

The purpose of most sketches is to create 3D geometry. You have 130+ posts and are still stuck drawing sketches.

 

Pick an object that you want to replicate and with that in mind you need to start learning.

Drawing arbitrary shapes in sketches and copying stuff between sketches is not going to get you anywhere. You'll be stuck forever drawing sketches!

There is a goal, but I am taking this learning steps first.

 

I have to know how to do those basic operations before I can proceed.

It is just common sense.

Otherwise, frustration would be even more painful.

 

If you cannot move an object anywhere, are you not stuck?

No, you don't!

 

You appear to be afraid to make a mistake to the point of paralysis . You need to move past that. I re-resiged my first design in Fusion 360 three times from scratch so I could get the correct workflow down. I made mistakes. In times it was frustrating. But I did move on and learn.

 

You cannot see the consequences of what you are sketching in the 3D object if you don't move past basic sketches.  Some understanding will simply come by trying lots of things. Unless you have a hard deadline for submitting a design, making mistakes in a CAD design is fast and easy. Cherish the mistake. The more you'll make, the more you'll learn 😉

No.

I do not think I am in paralysis.

I am methodical.

The 2D sketche I have is one of the sample sketches I like to design into 3D objects to learn Fusion 360.

It will teach me to deal with my eventual design later, which will be more learning.

That is what I mean by being methodical.

 

There is not point plunging into real design when I can

try it out this way, especially basics operations. 

This approach works for me.
