Hi,
I wish I would edit the sketch 5 (driving the boss-extrude1), but keeping the sketch 35 visble during the editing.
Btw, if I could avoid to have visible the boss-extrude1 for this editing, I would be very happy.
Is there some SW spell to transform the freaky froggy boss-extrude1 into a cutie sketch35-princess ?
Tx a lot for any advertising about witchcraft.
There you go. Just needed to move Sketch 35 above Sketch 5 in the tree.
Hi,
I checked in the attached file, because I already did that, to make the S35 visible.
S35 is visible when I don't edit S5, but disappears when I need it to work with S5 !!!
Is there something else to do, copying the content of S35 into S5 ?
If you move the Rollback Bar between Boss-Extrude1 & Sketch5, you should receive a message stating
You have chosen to rollback to Sketch5 which is absorbed in feature Boss-Extrude1.
The following features will be temporarily unabsorbed for editing purposes:
Sketch5
Selecting OK will re-order the FM to show that Sketch5 was created before Sketch35. Return the Rollback Bar to the end, before continuing.
Sketch35 was created from the intersection of surfaces S-Hor base B & Surface-Offset12, so they will have to moved up the FM before Sketch35 can be moved 'above' Sketch5. (or where Sketch5 was, before it was absorbed into the Boss-Extrude1 feature). Confused enough yet?
This will allow Sketch35 to be visible when editting Sketch5.
SW13 will make this more transparent & hopefully much simpler.
S35 is the intersection of offset12 and front plane.
Btw, intersectinq a surface and one of the basic plane works sometimes oddly out (another field to explore for future releases).
Tx for your tip.
I could search a long time, before finding it.
I complete my reply : OS12 was already above BE1 : I rolled back, to create OS12.
And S35 was created, with the bar rolled back.
Yet, impossible to have S35 visible, editing S5.
Pet, have you seen my picture? Have you opened my file? That picture shows the action of editing Sketch 5. As you can see Sketch35 is visible.
Alin,
How did you do that?
The FM looks identical, untill the rollback bar is placed above Sketch5, and I see that Sketch35 has been moved. How? What am I overlooking?
Hi,
I opened your file, and what is not working suddenly works.
As asking Kevin Lamport : how did you do that ?
S35 is above BE1 too, in my attached file, and disappears, when I edit S5....
Easy, I will send you a video a in few moments.
Or if there is a way to get an offset of a spline (a curve having osculating circles homothetical for each point of the curves, the ratio being constant for each point), that could avoid this whole gymnastic with intersection curves, not being in the curve menu, but hidden in the tools->Sketch tool menu, offsetting a surface, and having to copy the content of a sketch into the other !!!!

If you will suppress boss-extrude1 before you edit the sketch, then the preview will not show while editing the sketch. Un-suppress it when finished with the sketch.
OK, I thought about such tip.
The only problemo is that supressing BE1 will suppress dozens of features : this file just sums-up the problemo I am confronted with at the moment !!!
I noticed that, but I didn't have time to dig into it to see why that was suppressing features above it in the tree.
Pet,
I am not sure if this will help but have you tried to use instant3d?
If you turn it on you can Drag manipulators (blue dots) It will update your model as you drag the blue dots.
but move them slowly. You can either click on the feature or the sketch

Instant3D ....i didn't know it until now.
I will search where is hidden I3D, in SW.
In the command manager, assembly, on the right side.
I am using Sw 2012,
Pet, watch this video:
I get the msg "This video is private", when I try to open it
Sorry man. Try this one:
Tx a lot for your solution, and all the efforts you make to explain it.
For this time, I also found something, with the trial and errors method :
as seen in my micture, the features are ordered :
-SO12
- S35 .
.
.
.
-BE1->S5
so, I roll back just after S35, S5 is highlighted in the rolled features
I edit S5, so S35 disappears, I then right-click on S5 in the FM, and Roll to previous makes then S35-princess popping up, with her mother, the queen SO12.
I give a gift to the mother, and i can joke with the daughter, in her bedroom
Doh! Of course.
I was forgetting to move the rollback bar down to 35.
<smacks head & going home now>
The good news is that in a future version (I am not going to say which), things might get much easier...
Wooo, a very good news.
I hope that planes will have 2 faces, in this version, that all boxes waiting for number characters will filter any keyborad command (there are a lot of r1234 or rr1234, in my dimensions entries)
Will the parts be highlighted in the FM, when clicking on the plane of a section view ?
And this is how you do it in SolidWorks 2013.
Tx a lot for your reply.
I have not the 2013 version : I am using this summer edition untill sunday, since the mec simulations are much more complete than in the student edition.
Even if a lot of bugs in it, as in the rest of this 2012 version ....
Sorry man. Try this one:
