Hello, I am fairly new to Solidworks but have been 3d modeling for the last 25 years. I am trying to model a top-down assembly driven by a master sketch. I've created 4 different parts and the assembly using configurations. I can get everything to update correctly sometimes but it is not consistent. Will someone please look at my files and tell me what I am doing wrong. TIA Keith
Keith,
I am far from an expert at top down, for that you need to talk to John Stoltzfus or Matt Peneguy. But I think you want your driving sketch to be in the top level. You could place a 3D sketch first in your model tree, I think you may need to create a new assembly and do the sketch first thing.
John and Matt have several posts talking about top down. You should search for "SSP" on the forum.
