'fully defined sketch'
'fully defined sketch'
(OP)
My computer died. It was exchanged by our company with one that had SW2007 ipo SW2006 that I was more familiar with. On the most primitive of sketches (a circle) when trying to extrude the circle, I am faced with an error message that states 'This operation requires a fully defined sketch'. Only thing I could find in HELP was Tools/Options/Sketch/Select fully defined sketches. This was already checked but I unmarked it and then remarked it. No help.
Will someone please lead me to a solution?

A people who value security over freedom will soon find they have neither.

Are you not placing dimensions to the circle and its centre point ... or adding constraints to both to fully define the circle?
Some while ago, I did some work for a company whose SW users used very few (if any) dimensions in their sketches. Instead, they relied upon the associated dialogue boxes to 'control' the entity dimensions and orientation. I suspect that is what is happening here.

Wow, did you train 'em, or just get outta there as quick as possible?

I did offer to give them training, but it would have to be outside of normal business hours, and as they were an hours drive away would have made for some long days. They said they would get VAR training "when time allows". Yeah, right!

I wonder what is going to happen if one of these new 3d modelers take hold. Will we have a Sketch Up environment where designers push and pull without regard to standard cutting tools or design for manufacturability considerations? And no history tree to go back and show them where they went wrong in DFM principles.
