Replacing Dangling Offset Sketch entities
Replacing Dangling Offset Sketch entities
(OP)
Hi All,
I've got a fairly complicated sketch which contains a number of offset sketch entities. Unfortunately I needed to make some modifications to the geometry earlier in the history and the offset entities lost their references. I have had success before simply re-directing dangling coincident and dimension references before, but I can't seem to figure out how to redirect the offset entities.
I would really hate to re-create the entire sketch, as I am sure that it will make more lost references later in the history as well.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ray

I have come up with a slightly better work around, which is to create a sketch immediately before the current one in the history, convert the entities that I had originally offset. Then offset them the proper distance. I can now blow away the dangling references and provide co-linear/co-radial references to the newly offset sketch.
By converting the original entities and then offsetting them, I can simply reassign co-linear an co-radial references to the converted entities if the geometry changes again.
A little bit of a hassle, but certainly easier than re-creating the sketch.
