Sketch in drawing view moves up after/while exiting sketch.

[jpeters4MKUS]

Earlier today I made changes (projecting edges, text centering, dimensioning, adding vertical constraint) to a sketch attached to a view in my drawing. Upon exiting the sketch all sketch curves in the sketch appeared approximately 0.3" up from where they should be. The hatching in the sketch remained in the correct location. I was unable to identify the cause of the moved lines. New sketches on the same view did not shift upward. I was able to return my sketch to normal by deleting all of the projected geometry in it.

Hi! I have never heard this behavior before. Could you attach an example here?

Many thanks!

Below are some images of the behavior. One is in sketch mode and the other is not.

Hi! Please share the files exhibiting the behavior. We need to be able to reproduce the behavior and find out why. The image does not help much.

Many thanks!

Sorry but I cannot share the file.

Simmilar issue. Sketch 6 moves after exit.

Hi! Your issue is different than the OP's issue. This thread was about the sketch in the 2D drawing, not in a part.

Your issue is related to modeling outside of valid model range. Inventor has a fixed valid model space +- 100m in each direction. The geometry you are creating exceeds the range. I suggest you scale down the model (1/10). In the drawing view, make sure the proper unit is referenced.

Many thanks!

Thank you. What is the best way to do this so that volume measurements are correct? If I scale the drawing the units are no longer correct.

Hi Chris,

It should still work. For example, if your current unit is meter, then you scale down to 1/1000. The geometry will be in mm. You may dimension the geometry as you wish but don't show the unit string. In the titleblock, refer the unit to meter. Regarding the volume, you will need to time the result from the scaled model 10^9 times.

Many thanks!
