Is there a simple way that I can attach my sketch lines to the mid point of a curved line? You can see the blue construction lines below from my current sketch. I'd like the end of my lines to meet the midpoint of the grey curved line marked B. Basically I want A and B to meet. If I select the end of the line and the curved line the "midpoint" option isn't present so I can't select it.
You can add a reference point to the curve. Then, inside the reference point command, use the 50% along curve.
Then you could attach your line to the reference point.
Will this work?
I've ended up using this solution because it allows me to put my line 75% along the radius which is an even better solution for what I want.
Another quick way is to edit the sketch that has the radius line, add two construction (straight) lines going from each end of the radius line, meeting in the center of the radiused line then make the construction lines equal, close your sketch and open the one shown and add a coincident mate.
Hi John, this is how I originally did it. But every so often Solidworks would rebuild my sketch and move my midpoint to the other side of the circle that the radius is on, i.e. the unseen side. I'd then have to chunks of my sketch.
Another other option:
1) Right Click Arc > Select 'Select Midpoint'
2) Hold 'Ctrl' key
3) Select line end point
4) Add 'Coincident' relationship
Tried this and it works
Hello Philip,
1) Enable the Sketch continaing Path by "Show/Hide" option & Edit the Sketch defined as the Path for Sweep Feature
2) Edit the Sketch Containing the Construction line,
This also worked, thanks!
