Sketch from reuse library, loses it¦s constraints

Sketch from reuse library, loses it¦s constraints

Sketch from reuse library, loses it¦s constraints

(OP)
Hi.

When i use a sketch from Reuse Library it seems to lose its constraints. In the original part, the sketch is perfectly constrained together, however this dosen´t seem to matter. I´ve tried to constraint it to a csys, but when a define the reusable object, I cant chose the csys, so i guess it loses its reference!?!?!

Any advise?

RE: Sketch from reuse library, loses it¦s constraints

If you've referenced a CSYS that's not included in the reuse library item then the system should be asking you to select a new CSYS when you add it to your model and when you do the sketch will reference this new CSYS.

Hi John.

Thank you for the answer. It seems to create a new csys everytime i´m adding the sketch into my model, however the constraints I used between the sketch and CSYS, isen´t created again.. I´ve constrainted the sketch so that when i move one line, the other lines move accordingly, and that works for now, but it is a bit weird.
