Rotate Command in Sketcher Mode
Rotate Command in Sketcher Mode
(OP)
Hello everyone!
I want to make a circular array in sketcher mode with all the instances been constrained.
I tried rotate command in sketcher mode with "constraint conservation" option on, but I am not getting the desired result.
After arraying, the instances are not constrained, they become under-constrained.
Can anyone help me out please ?

RE: Rotate Command in Sketcher Mode
Transformations (like Rotate and Translate) to duplicate profiles within a sketch are not considered best practice. It is better to make a feature from a single profile, and then use a Pattern (or Simetry) to make an array of that feature.
RE: Rotate Command in Sketcher Mode
again not a good practice.
I mean to say when we create a single feature & then pattern the same, then there comes 2 features in the tree, but with a pattern in the sketch we can do it with single feature thus shortening the tree length.
Yes, but it's risky too, we have to be careful while editing the sketch.
Anyways.... no problem, I will continue to work with the method of single feature & then pattern it, as you suggested.

RE: Rotate Command in Sketcher Mode
Patterns of features are much easier to edit than duplicated profiles in a sketch.

I didn't mean that long tree length is a problem with V5, but as per my knowledge 3D Modelling with minimum features used is a good practice.
