Question
Intersect curves issue
body{font-family: Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:9pt;background-color: #ffffff;color: black;}Okay Guru's. I'm doing something in WF4 that I haven't done in a while, and am getting results different than I remember. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?
I've made 2 sketches, then use INTERSECT to create a 3D curve out of the two. This puts them in a group under the intersect automatically. I don't like that, but understand. The problem is they are now locked and I can't do anything with them. I wanted to copy the curve as a new one, so I could create a similar intersect with different dimensions: NO DICE. The new intersect refers to the same 2 sketches no matter if I check Dependent or Independent.I cannot copy either of the sketches individually, as once I pick one it automatically picks the intersect and sketches as a group. If I delete the intersect, the 2 sketches are deleted with it. I cannot get my sketches back. I had the same thing with a sketch that I subsequently extruded. I couldn't get the sketch back even when deleting the extrude. What kind of stupid behavior is this?
I thought I recall a check box that allows "keep internal features" when deleting a feature, but I don't see that here. Any feedback? any config settings that I have wrong?
TIA,
Jeff
