drawing a sketch in sd
drawing a sketch in sd
(OP)
Hi
i come from a autocad background and have been using SW for about three months. I am having trouble doing quick 2d sketches in SD. Commands such as rotate, move a cluster of objects together, do not seem to work, or are not possible.
Has anyone else experienced this frustration with SW?
Cheers

RE: drawing a sketch in sd
To move a group of sketch segments, you'll have to go to Tools/Sketch Tools/Modify. This will move all the sketch segments that you have created. The Modify option will let you move a sketches in X-Y and let's you rotate them about an origin.
I don't want to come off sounding like I am attacking you, but if you are going to be using SoldWorks more than AutoCAD, the best advice is to forget everything you learned about AutoCAD. It may take you some time to free yourself from an AutoCAD mindset, but once you do, I think you'll like SWX.
