How to use Contours in a Drawing

Hello

 

I'm in the middle of drawing and I can't use any edges, drillings, or anything else to create what I need (drilling table, cuts...)

 

Thank you for helping me because I've been looking for hours

Wouldn't you have activated a filter in the selection filter toolbar display? Click on the toolbar and click on disable all filters (1st icon)

No filters.

I keep trying but I can't find it.

Just to make a sketch I can't hang on to my views anywhere

your drawing comes from a 3D that you created on SW

it is a solid 

a surface

an import

Did you put the green light on your part

I tried with an import, a solid (3D creation) 

Whatever it is, I don't hang on to anything 

I don't know if it helps but when I select a sketch line or a section for example, the message in the tree is in red 

Hello

Have you looked at  the tool=>option=>document property=> image quality=>Wireframe image resolution: increase the cursor

otherwise I switch my view to wireframe (in display style) to place my sides and once finished I go back to the image quality that suits me well

may the force be with you.

 

what do you have as a PC 

Proc 

video card

RAM

Which SOLIDWORKS version

post your file if possible

It's possible that if your graphics card is not compatible that it doesn't work

Hello

can you put us a phony part that presents the problem so that we can see if it comes from the part or the parameters of the MEP???

Aren't you on your Background Plan instead of Sheet, just in case?

For me, I have no problem with MeP the proposed model and rating or cutting.

I don't think so

I would just like to constrain my sketch (which will be my section) in relation to a view of the MEP

I can't constrain myself in relation to the center of the holes

That's normal, it doesn't work... We have to create a point in the middle of the Ø. You have to do Tool==>sketch entities then point or in the sketch tab select point then place it in the middle of the Ø then you can constrain...

I had already tried to place a point but it's the same thing, I can't constrain it in relation to the Ø

No possible constraints

You have to click on the point then the sketch line then constrain them there it will work... I do this regularly for multi-level parts cuts and we also have 2016

I had forgotten you have to remove the Ø axis where you put the focus then manually constrain and put back the Ø axis..
