Draw line on sheet
Draw line on sheet
(OP)
I am moving from Mechanical Desktop to Solidworks, and I have a question for you. I have 2 parts I am putting on a single sheet, and I simply want to draw a vertical line on the sheet to divide the sheet into 2 sections. In MDT, I would simply snap to the midpoint of the top border line and snap perpendicular to the bottom border line to make the vertical line. I am having a little trouble with this in Solidworks. Do I simply draw it on the sheet, or do I "edit sheet format" and then draw it? Also, how do I "snap" (so to speak) from one line to another.
I have tried using the "Solidworks 2D Emulator" add-in, but that was just a crutch to use.
Thanks in advance,
Flores

RE: Draw line on sheet
If you are OK with just drawing the line across the sheet and not constraining it, I recommend that you lock sheet focus to ensure the line belongs to the sheet and not to a view which may move. Select the sheet from the feature manager or RMB on the sheet outside of any views and select "Lock Sheet Focus" before drawing the line.
