Eat all the holiday snacks or “junk food” you want and stay in shape!!!!


Aha I wish! But not exactly! Sorry, I’m talking about sketch geometry.

If you sometimes find it confusing, while working with sketches, that changing sketch dimensions disproportionally reshapes your sketch before you’re ready, here's a tip that you should find helpful.

Turn off “Automatic Solve.” This will allow you to change several dimensions on a sketch without having the sketch geometry automatically update. I find this extremely helpful when I've created complicated profiles that I'm going to use in a sweep or revolve!

See TOOLS - SKETCH SETTINGS - AUTOMATIC SOLVE

Merry Christmas!!!
