Cursor problems and others!

Cursor problems and others!

Cursor problems and others!

(OP)
I'e steadily moved through some tutorials on SWX and modelled some of my own objects. I have a few questions for some of you out there that I hope you might be able to help me with:
1. Why, when I'm drawing a line do I not get the cursor changing to show inference with other sketches and can I turn this on?

2. I have a tube that is moulded in two sections, one at approx. 100 degree angle to the other. Would the best way of producing this be to use planes and extrude circles to produce the tubes?

3. Does anyone know of any sound literature that I might get hold of to help me in understanding SWX as it is one of those packages that you know what you want to do but sometimes you just can't do it.

Thanks for your help.

Regards

David

RE: Cursor problems and others!

For your first question go under Tools, Options, Check infer from model.
