thegodplato Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Below is a simple shape that I drew by starting with a rectangle. I then constrained the lines horizontally and vertically about the origin. Then dimensioned it to get to the size needed. I then constrained the 2 vertically line to be equal, then changed the bottom dimension to create the shape shown. What I have noticed is when you zoom in the horizontally lines have stopped being horizontal and are slightly angled up left to right. Did I start off incorrectly or used the wrong constrain method???Seat Base.zip Quote
JD Mather Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 I then constrained the lines horizontally and vertically about the origin. I do not see any horizontal or vertical constraints on your lines (these do not disappear on their own). I do see horizontal and vertical constraints between the midpoints of the lines and the origin - this only constrains the points - not the lines. Inventor should automatically be adding your horizontal and vertical constraints - what Constraint Options do you have active? (I suggest leaving on the default.)
