I've been struggling for hours on keeping a fairly simple sketch together.
What isn't simple is the fact that I have a family table and one of the instances has it's CSYS rotated 180 degrees.
I probably could break out of the family table and get the sketch to work in it's model that would have the rotation completed prior to the sketch. It's the rotation that unglues the sketch.
The strange thing is that all the other sketches don't seem to have an issue with the Csys rotation. I have a twin to this sketch that has no issues. I created it from an earlier model and I've been trying to see why it succeeds and the other fails.
My sketch has 2 lines on the ends which reference edges. In between this is an angled line which joins the 2 end lines with a radii on each side. The 2 radii are constrained to end at the edge of each of the edge referenced lines.
The one other complication is that the reference edges are offset with this other family tree instance.
After the family tree verifies as a failure I go into this instance. As I mentioned I see the twin sketch succeeds, and the immediately following sketch shows as a failure. I go into the sketch and when I look at it's references it tells me they are not updated. I update the unresolved references and solve the sketch. When I look at the results I see that the reference edges are in their true position but the tilted line in the center along with the 2 connecting radii are not rotated into position. The radii are skewed and don't connect anything. My guess is that the biggest issue is that the tilted line will not rotate into position.
I've tried everything to make this sketch stick together. I've made the radii as a circle as well as a round. I've dimensioned the angled line to a horizontal reference curve, the reference edge line as well as a construction line that I placed. I've tried locking the entities. I've tried using splines instead of radii to connect the tilted line to the end reference edge lines. Nothing seems to stick.
Is there a trick to keeping a sketch together after a csys gets rotated? How can you be sure to get all sketch entities to rotate after the CSYS rotation?
I presently don't have access to my CAD PC, but I should be able to upload the model should anyone have questions on it.
