I'm going to go crazy

Hi everyone,

 

Save me from my madness!!!!

 

I have a (big) problem with a Solidworks drawing.

On my drawing, I try to show an overlength on my pieces.

To do this, I make a rectangle with the sketching tools on my view, I constrain it, I put hatching on it and poof it's done!

But today, for some reason, Solidworks has decided not to want to put my collinear features....

See the attachment. The collinear constraint is in place but the strokes are not aligned. And the one I designed remains sub-constrained.

 

Has anyone ever had (seen) this?

Anyone have an idea to fix this (already restarted SW and the workstation)

 

SW2014 SP5

 

Thanks in advance Fred.

Hello

Have you tried making a PDF of your plan to see if the line stays up there?

I just tested, he doesn't put himself in the right place.

Hello, what if instead of directly constraining your stroke you constrain two points so that they are in the collinearity you want and then you constrain your stroke in relation to these points?

I know that Solidworks is really weird sometimes... You have to try several methods without asking too many questions to get your result.

Same, already test the horizontal constrained points. Not working.

The worst thing is that I grab a line to move it and the rectencgle fits correctly in relation to the constraint.

Question and why you multiply your lines, one is enough and nothing prevents you from sideways, each part of your tubes in linear, your sideline will look for its ref in the right place, which will minimize your constraints and lines that are useless and it is not all beneficial for your log, fewer constraints so more fluid

Why not create a configuration of your part or assembly with your overlengths, and then with the "View from another position" tool makes your two overlapping configurations appear (in hidden lines) in your drawing.

From MEP: MEnu Insertion/Drawing Views/View from Another Position.

I invite you to look at the solidworks help on this function for more information.

I make these rectangles to hatch them later (the end is an overlength that will be adjusted during assembly).

 

But you don't worry anymore, I found hiding in a corner a constraint that he deemed unfeasible, I removed it and it works again.

 

Dsl of the disturbance.
