Inconsistent 3D sketching

Hi all 

 

I call on the 3D sketching pro, 

I have problems with constraint that no longer passes in the 3d sketch. I can no longer make a straight line constricted.

I make rather complex pipe skids and there comes a time when simple stress on axis no longer works and I refused by solid.

I have a Xeon with a p4000 and solid 2019sp4 .

The driver has days recommended by solid and windows can only update it on its own.

The new performance option is enabled.

The problem happens in any context, even in the room with only the welded construction

In the modification of the sketch the zoom is very very slow, but the rotation is perfect.

A short video of his refusals:

The pc becomes unusable and I don't know where to look.

Have you ever seen that? 

Thanks in advance

Hello

I don't know if it's relevant but I see that the "DN200" clamps have a defect that is visible on the screen. they are not centered in relation to the tube held by them.

It would be better to use an axis in the center of the pipe.

Another thing that looks more like your problem, I get this message when I use a 3D view like in your video.

I no longer have the message if I have my ASM is strictly parallel to plane 1 or 2 or 3 depending on the 3D line I draw. In other words, I see that you don't use the constraints along X, along Y, etc. It seems to me that since you don't have diagonals but only parallels to X or Y or Z.
It might be good to work parallel to the screen and not in 3D space.

I don't know if it's clear but to avoid this nutty message: personally  I proceed as indicated.
What do you think???

Kind regards

 

Hello

If I were  you, I would enable the display of small constraint icons when selecting an entity.

Indeed SW tells you that it has added automatic constraints. Maybe these are the ones that block you. Also look in tools / sketch settings: sometimes a parameter jumps here and it quickly becomes annoying

Thank you for your help.

Certainly my sketch is entirely constrained on xyz, I didn't know that it was feasible to make your own scu.

Only at this stage of progress of the 3d solid sketch no longer accepts to constrain connecting lines on the plans even if everything is well constrained on the 3 axes and exactly side and parallel 

There are no settings that change the operating state.

The clamps are well constrained on the axes

I've been trying to work in these conditions for a long time but it's getting worse and worse.

Small video of an attempt to modify my chassis, personally I don't understand what it does anymore

This is a problem that I also encounter quite often.
Obviously SW doesn't know how to support a 3D sketch (and even 2D) that is a little too busy.

I apply 2 methods:
- free the sketch from a few constraints, add my entity and, possibly, put constraints back;
- If that's not enough,  I get around the problem by trying to break down my sketch into several others.

Hi all

I've already had this kind of problem also on large 3D sketches.

For my part, I proceed in the same way as stefbeno and instead of putting the lines

constrained on the x,y, z axis it has already happened to me to circumvent these sketching errors by preferring to put

constraints of perpendicularity between my lines.

Good luck and above all patience because it is necessary at times:)

Your last message worries me to the point.

I can't accept the fact that I'm on the edge of SW and especially that the rest of my career looks like this. Very big projects are done on solid.

Especially since the next project I'm going to work on is much more complex and busy.

I find it hard to believe that we are being sold a software that finally does not work properly....

Rest and calm for the weekend, Monday I have SW assistance at the tel. I wouldn't let them go

 

Thank you and have a good weekend 

 

 

In the end with this design pattern, if you want the sketch not to be buggy, it would have to be fully isostatic: if you start to have constraints parallel to a line / plane and following X at the same time on a line, usually at the first solidworks digests it well but after X hyperstatic constraints it cracks and gets wrong for nothing.

The easiest way is probably to cut the sketch into several sketches because the fewer strokes you have, the less likely you are to put hyperstatic constraints.
