    Plane not visible

    If I right click on a plane and click show, the plane is displayed. However if I click in the model area the plane disappears. Why is the plane disappearing? Can I prevent this?

    hide blue arrows

    For each part I drag into my assembly a pair of blue arrows is displayed along with the part. The blue arrows are perpendicular to each other and appear to have their origins at what would be the origin of the x-y plane in the original part.

    model far away

    Whenever I zoom in on the model and press down on the scroll bar to change my viewpoint, the model disappears. If I focus again (by pressing f) the position of the model is different from what it was before I zoomed in. It appears that by attempting to change my viewpoint I am moving the model.

    model far away

    When I focus (by pressing the f button) on my model, the model appears far away. I have to zoom in to see my model. This is making it impossible to work on my model. How can I fix this.

    endpoint wrongly shared by multiple entities

    The message says "The sketch can not be used for a feature because an endpoint is wrongly shared by multiple entities". I have selected Cut-Extrude from the drop down box. I am attempting to make a Cut-Extrude feature from the sketch.

    endpoint wrongly shared by multiple entities

    I turned auto-solve mode back on and I'm still getting the same message. The sketch is very large. I'm not getting any information on what points are wrongly shared.

    endpoint wrongly shared by multiple entities

    I did what you said and I get the same message. Auto-Solve mode is off. Is that affecting anything.

    Whenever I try to create a base flange from a tab. I get a message that says "The highlighted entity contains points that are coincident but not merged. What does this mean? How can I fix it.

    Dimension driven by equation

    When I try to change the value of a fillet I get the following message. The dimension cannot be changed because it is driven by equation 1. Please suppress the equation before changing the dimension value. How do I find the equation?

    Thanks for everyones help. Actually the assebmbly I mentioned in the first post was generated from a step file. After I generated the assembly from the step file, the part was listed as part of a subassembly that was part of the top-level assembly. The part was listed as .sldprt. After the...
