Constraints and origin
Constraints and origin
(OP)
Hi!
I have been SW user, but now "forced" to learn Inventor... There are many things that are different, some are good, some are not. One thing, what I have found strange is that you can constraint sketch at the origin only when you first create it. After you have closed it and opened again - you cannot constraint new elements to origin!? Sometimes even during first "session" it stops working at one point and I can't add consraint between origin and sketch. I have noticed, that here is no indicator also later at origin. So is all that normal in IV, or I'm doing something wrong?

As well as http://www.kwikmcad.com/icode/addins.asp
And http://www.cbliss.com/inventor/iCode/index.htm
Some of these addins will actually save you so much time you can take Friday off! ....please feel free to contribute a voluntary donation to keep these guys "encouraged" to keep writing these huge timesavers.
My favorites:
Kwiksert, face-change, kwik-file new, kwik-print, and BOM extractor
