Afternoon all,
I have inherited a model with a company logo that is made up of a bunch of segments and curves. There are a bunch of relations scattered about as well. I want to be able to tie the whole sketch down to some planes. how do I tie the text sketch down without having dim each and every segment and curve? I am not sure whether or not this was imported geometry or was placed with the text sketch tool.
Thanks
Sid
Hey John,
I believe that is exactly what went on. they do have Autocad here. How do I do a sketch block may I ask?
Got it John. Same as saving a sketch in Pro/E.
Thank you sir.

Another approach is to fix the whole sketch and not worry about positon and scale until later. I assume the sketch is used in an extrude feature, so you can create bodies with the extrude, then scale and/or reposition the bodies as you need to.

I like to use the sketch scale feature using some reference geometry for a general size and when it's moved, rotated, scaled, etc... so it looks good, drag & select it, apply fix relation. When you use the scale, move, rotate sketch tools, de-select the relations box.
Sid, if this logo is fairly complex, then it's probably been imported from Illustrator or AutoCAD. Usually, in these cases, I'll make a sketch block of the logo sketch entities. That way I can reposition and scale it with ease and don't have to worry about thousands of relations updating in strange ways or bogging down the rebuild time.
