Offset Dimension dislocated from Sketch?

When I add an offset dimension on a sketch and copy/paste the sketch to another drawing, (sometimes I need to move the sketch to another location (or rotate the sketch)), it seems like the offset dimension becomes dislocated from the sketch.

 

I'm able to add another dimension without getting an overconstrained warning.

 

Is this a bug related to:

Hi @stevsmar13,

 

Thank you for posting! I did a quick test but I was unable to reproduce the issue. Could you record a screencast of the steps to reproduce it? Also, would you be able to share a public link to the design with me?

Hi @masa.minohara,

 

I haven't worked out how to do a screencast yet, so here's a few more screenshots and some example files.

 

Sketch I want to copy, the offset dimension is shown:

The sketch pasted, I made sure I copied from the XY plane and pasted onto the YZ plane in the attached examples:

Close up of the pasted sketch, dislocated offset dimension is shown:

Files associated with the above screen shots are attached:

Hi @stevsmar13,

 

Thank you for sharing the files with me! I went ahead and logged the issue with the development team for further investigation. (the ticket ID is FUS-37685 just for your reference)

 

However, I'm still having difficulty reproducing it. Did you past the sketch in another design? The screencast below is how I tried to reproduce it. Did I miss anything? It would be very helpful for us if you could record a screencast of the steps when you have time.

 

Happy Holidays and all the best to you in the year to come!

Hi @masa.minohara,

 

To duplicate my workflow, you need to move or rotate the pasted sketch entities.

 

In below, I pasted, moved and rotated in one command. To me it looks like the offset dimension was unaffected by the move, but dislocated by the rotate.

Interestingly, in above, the two 1.1875 value dimensions were not pasted but the radius dimension was?

 

Here's a screenshot of the sketch entities before they were copied, showing the dimensions which were not copied:

If you're not able to duplicate, I'd be happy to work out how to post a screencast.

 

I also tried dimensioning my sketch to the origin before pasting it, so it was fully defined. This did not make a difference.

Hi @stevsmar13,

 

Thank you for attaching the screenshots and for letting me know the steps! I was able to reproduce the issue by rotating copied offset sketch, and passed along to the development team.

 

They will work on this issue and hopefully this will be fixed soon.

 

Thank you for reporting the issue!
