Use edge

[cjohansson-2]

Hi

I have used the "use edge" command in drawing to find an intesection between two model lines.

I just made a change in the part, and when opening the drawing I see the new geometry but the lines from use edge did not update!!

How come?

If you haven't gone to far, go can go to an instance before you did this command and then proceed from there without loosing a lot of work.

Claes,

"Use edge" in drawing is to create draft entities referring entities from part and those entities will not be parametric. Hence any modification in part will not update those entities. These entities will be associated to view, when moving the view, entities will move along with that. These entities can delete/remove when you are in sketch tab.

But in dwg you should be able to set the sketcher constraints to "parametric" and use them to sketch. Unfortunately, as soon as you trim something, the entities are no longer parametric. Most times, I'll make a datum curve in the part or assy and show that on the dwg.
