Re: 2D and 3D sketch
Christopher Estelow Apr 25, 2018 9:51 AM (in response to Maha Nadarasa)I'm guessing that one of the points on the 3d sketch is coincident with the front plane somewhere.

Kevin Pymm Apr 25, 2018 10:17 AM (in response to Maha Nadarasa)Maha,
I'm not sure why it's showing a relationship to the Front Plane. I get the same results even if there is no sketch geometry added. The 3D Sketch itself has the relation to the Front Plane. My Part template opens up with the Front Plane Normal to the screen so perhaps that is why it's the Front Plane. If I orientate my Top Plane normal to the screen & start a 3D sketch, it still has a relation to the Front Plane.

Maha Nadarasa Apr 25, 2018 11:24 AM (in response to Maha Nadarasa)Fact is 3D sketch is not on any plane therefore it is a red herring information.

Steve Calvert Apr 25, 2018 11:18 AM (in response to Maha Nadarasa)NO, you can have a 3D sketch completely lie on one plane. The Front plane, in this case (because i just tried it, acts as a default plane. I drew an egg without placing it on a plane.

Maha Nadarasa Apr 25, 2018 11:23 AM (in response to Steve Calvert)I mean that 3D sketch can't be on any origin plane.

Maha Nadarasa Apr 25, 2018 11:30 AM (in response to Dennis Dohogne)Not any particular problem. When I investigated a long tree this problem arose.

So, the "problem" is that a 3DSketch has a "Parent feature"?
Insert a new part into an assembly, when you click on any face or plane to create the InPlace relationship, this will become the "Front Plane" of the newly created part. Like I said, I believe that the Front Plane is basically the de facto standard parent feature, and maybe the only reason is that it is the plane listed first in the feature manager tree.

Re: 2D and 3D sketch
Dan Pihlaja Apr 25, 2018 12:42 PM (in response to Maha Nadarasa)I see this as a pretty interesting find. I know it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, but understanding little things like this is the foundation behind understanding the big things and how Solidworks works. Apparently everything needs a parent (except the standard, default items that are already in a part).
