Reverting back colors in assembly.

[padraig]

I am having a very frustrating time at the moment trying to extrude froman imported sketch (autocad dwg).


I have two main issues. When I import the dwg file ( company logo ) sketcher makes assumptions which are incorrect eg slightly sloping lines become horziontal.


Is there any way to stop this and make it import exactly as the dwg file?


My secondproblem is that when I try to finish sketcher and extrude, pro e says the sketch is not closed and highlights a number of corners where this is the case. I cannot seem to fix this. I have tried trimming the entities removeing any double lines and so on but with no success.


Any ideas please, this is driving me crazy

Hi all,


Ihave been usingWF2 & recently I received a project modelled in 2001 version, & I need to use 2001 to work on it. The interface menu was not too user friendly to me, & quite often I was lost in the middle of the operation.


Does anyone have any ideas on its command definitions or reference materials which I can learn from?


There is a particular situation: a 3D pipe needed to be redefine for its profile. It is an easy task in WF2, but I just couldn't redefine it easily from the menu. Please help.


Regards,


sweng

My simple question is I'm working with an assembly in WF2 and the colors have been modified. How do I revert them back to look like the part files (individual) that I pull up and have assigned colors to. Is it posible?

Padraig, First thing you can do when importing in a sketch and constraints auto populate is to turn off the intent manager. Inside sketcher go to sketch-->uncheck intent manager.


Then to help out your other problem try using the point on entity constraint to get those endpoints truly on each other.


Sweng, use the menu mapper to revert your known WF2 commands to 2001 commands.


jusford, in your assembly go to color and appearance and clear your assembly defined colors by using the clear button. You will have to select the assembly or components first
