Hi Team,
I have an issue when I try to edit a sketch of one of the 3D extrusions, that all the previous Solid bodies and extrusions disappear. What makes it even stranger is that it only happens when I open edit sketch on one particular extrusion.
When I edit sketch in this extrusion, all preceding bodies remain
When I do it on this extrusion, all disappear
Does anyone know what could be causing this?
Is there any way of getting around this?
Hi, Stefan
On the part level there is an order of features. You can`t see the future, but you can look back.
On the assembly level situation is another and there is possibility to create layout sketch 2018 SOLIDWORKS Help - Assembly Layout Sketch . But I like disappearing of bodies, it is very convenient for me and I use standard sketch at the root of assembly instead of layout sketch.
i think SolidEdge (not an advert) has that option, it's called synchronous editing or something like that. that when u edit part anything that was done after the edited operation is still there.
It works different to SW which works on a parent/child design.
May be, I`ve never met situation I need this.
Depends.
Can you attach the file?
It is most likely because that sketch was created before any of the extrusions. Thus, when you edit it, the model tree is "rolled back" to when the sketch was created.
Here is an example.
Notice that Sketch2 was created after Extrude1, and before the hole wizard features and fillet features.
After creating those features, I click on Sketch2 and click on Extruded Cut...creating a blind cut (Cut-Extrude1).
Notice that Sketch2 is now at the bottom of the tree...
If I edit that sketch, this is what it looks like...
The model rolls back to the point in the tree when the sketch was created.
