SketchXpert does what?
SketchXpert does what?
(OP)
Hi All,
Well I've been working with 2008 and I'm finding SketchXpert is a expert PAIN!!!! Anyone else having troubles creating sketches with SketchExpert(SE) on? I've been creating good(?) skecthes for a few years and now SE says there is one or two or three....ways that are better/more aceptable methods. What gives???

Instead of you having to hunt through solutions to overdefined sketches, it does the investigations for you and shows you several methods for resolving errors such as putting a red slash through Relations or Dims that can be deleted to solve the problems. You can pick the one that best captures your design intent or choose to manually solve and hack and slash your way through the Display/Delete Relations tool.

Can you post some examples of situations where you and SE disagree.
RE: SketchXpert does what?
Here's my example.
I've created my sketch using the Dynamic Sketch tool. I used the vertical centerline as my mirror line. Everything looks good so far. Then I apply 3.19 dim. All is good to this point. Then I apply the 1.60 dim (dim. is crossed out by SketchXpert) cause I'll need that in my drawing and WHAMO I get a SketchXpert error. So....I try and find a way to apply the 1.60 dim. as a reference but not luck yet.
See attached dwg.
Thanks,
Brent

I changed the 1.60 dim. to be a DRIVEN dim.
