Some components not resizing with parameters

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

I'm new to Fusion and I'm designing a cabinet that I am making to see how I get on with it. I've got everything drawn up and working nicely. I wanted to take advantage of the parameters in Fusion so that when I inevitably need resize or adjust measurements of my cabinets, things should in theory be easy to do.

I went to resize my drawing and everything resizes as I would expect, except for one face of my drawer carcasses. I've been looking over it and even redrawn the drawers and still it doesn't work. Hoping someone can help point me towards the issue.

I've attached my fusion file. If you go into the parameters and change the cabinet width to 550 and then the drawer width to 504 - you'll see the issue. Everything resizes, apart from one side of each drawer gets left behind.

If anymore info is required, please let me know.

Just looking at the first sketch I can areas that can cause problems.

There are too many overlapping lines. For a stable parametric design is is best to avoid these!

I other word, the base shape can be designed with a rectangle. All the internal lines also forming rectangles should NOT be sketched using the rectangle primitive, but individual lines. 

Also, Id urge you to turn of the "Autoproject ... " stuff in the Preferences. You'll have to manually project things afterward but have 100% control over what is being projected.

Never use the position capture tool to position your components. Use the joints in the assemble menu to do so.

Thank you for the advice. Will I be best off starting this off again in order to fix my issues?

No need to start from scratch. You can fixt the first sketch, by identifying and deleting all the unneeded double line segments. Then re-dimension what was deleted. This is a good exercise in general.

Everyone will occasionally need to debug a sketch. The earlier you pick up that skill the better 😉

If you hover with the mouse cursor over a line/curve and continue to press it down a little menu pops up that shows you all objects underneath the mouse cursor and you can select which one you want to select.

Hi,

In the screencast I give some startup to the hints by @TrippyLighting

Thanks, is there supposed to be sound? It doesn't seem to be letting me enable anything?

Just wanted to thank @TrippyLighting and @g-andresen. I managed to get it working by cleaning up those lines. I still have lots more to do, but the drawer issue has resolved itself after some cleanup.

Just one question @g-andresen - I noticed in that small screen cast you use the coincident tool once the line is removed - can you explain what that's doing?
